Yes, sadly enough it’s true what you said. She has been abused by the so-called brother a lot in the past. And I think she’s feeling insecure because she still think that there’s a lot of people against her at the place now except for Izek and if she did tell him, she knows Izek gonna go mad and might affected the relationship with the temple. Maybe that’s why she still hasn’t got the courage to be honest imo.. ┗( T﹏T )┛
shes still this much under the control of her brother and disordered thinking its not as easy as that, and if it was that would be bad writing
Trauma is a lot harder to overcome than you think sweetness.
In Rubi's mind it's her brother who she thinks holds the most power and strength. Iske hasn't proved that he's stronger than her brother yet so naturally she's hesitant to tell him anything because she's convinced he wouldn't win even if she did tell him. Causing a mess is the last thing that she wants and hurting others to save herself is the furthest from her mind. As it stands she'll never say anything her husband has to be the one to notice first. Asking for help is troublesome rather than someone noticing and helping anyway.
it is frustrating indeed, but you must understand that rubi is a victim and a lot of times victims are having a hard time speaking up not because they want to but because either their perpetrator, their situation or their state of mind is keeping them from talking about it. i just hope that time and the time when she clings to hope is soon in the chapters. :(((
You are right
I know all about what you are talking about in real life. To me this is a story and I want her to be a stronger character. Not all victims are the same, not all trauma is the same, and every person is different so there are infinite scenarios. And for a story I want to read in my spare time for enjoyment that’s what I want. It’s my preference.
then look for another story. coz this story ACTUALLY SHOWS WHAT MOST VICTIMS FELT when they still can't overcome their traumas.
I mean I guess she has been abused and has ptsd but you should have alerted your husband and been honest. They have gotten to the point where she could tell him what’s going on. You are now your husbands property per that world and it is his responsibility to protect her.
