I think he was partially attracted to her to begin with but didn’t realize it? Like he says that he found it “irritating that sometimes he’d find her alluringly beautiful” so he probably had some sort of attraction to her but covered it up with irritation and that irritation made him treat her badly. He didn’t bother to look into how she had been treated until she had finally left him and he realized that he was a fucking clown the entire time I guess. I definitely see how the dynamic comes off as forced though
This entire story could have just happened without the ex-fiance. I don't understand him at all. Like for what reason did he treat her like that calling her disgusting and asking for a divorce. She legit did nothing and her love wasnt even obsessive in the least. Even strangers can have conversations my guy. I mean even if you didn't know about all the shit shes had to go through that still doesn't explain it excuse how hes treated her.
Why does he even fall for her! He legit felt NOTHING for her but now all the sudden for no apparent reason likes her. It isnt even a bestfriend or bully realizes they actually like this person, this man went from LITERALLY zero affection for her to 100.
Also he doesn't actually regret his actions he regrets hurting the girl he has a crush on.
Now I could be wrong about some info because I got tired of how the author was writing him(ex-fiance)and I dont fond the story that enthralling. I have nothing against predictable or w.e a nicer world for basic stories as long as there done well but he's just a character that confuses the hell out of me.
