Lmfao people being like “how would u feel if ur fiancé did this” motherfuckers I wouldn’t be in a relationship with a person like that To Begin With. Not Simeon getting credit for doing the bare minimum after pursuing her, she didn’t chase him and tie him down- from the very beginning the engagement was *his choice* based on *his liking for her* and simply an arranged engagement from her side. Ofc she grew to like him, but again she didn’t willingly enter into this arrangement (her father accepted it for her so that she’s not an embarrassment to the fam and whatnot in the first chapter) but was okay with it when her fam said “okay this is what is happening”. She wasn’t consulted (which is, historically accurate). She’s the type of person who could maybe even go on her whole life happily writing novels without clinging onto any dude, but ofc that’s not what happened. “Relationships are supposed to be 50/50 or equal”, yeah when was it ever equal to begin with. Given the historical context in which it was set- lol, equality, what a huge joke. Again, Simeon knew exactly who he was getting engaged with- a person who can do almost anything for a good story and has very meddlesome tendencies- and now he expects her to change to suit his standards overnight. She is trying to change because she loves him, but old habits die hard and change take time. Or he didn’t know, still his fault- why did he get engaged with a person he barely knew and then get pissed when she acts like herself? So no, not gonna call him mother Teresa or whatever him for doing the bare minimum of putting up with the person *he decided* to get engaged with. And he shouted again at a person who generally doesn’t respond back in kind and instead just gets scared, great, so he also learnt nothing. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
