I'm glad that most comments are understanding of Ruby's situation, but it IRKS me with the victim blaming I see. I think those guys need to re-read the story, because Ruby was, even in her former life, physically abused HER WHOLE LIFE. She sees herself as unloveable and disgusting, that nobody will truly care for her when knowing everything she's been through - she sees HERSELF as the one being in the wrong/not good enough and not deserving of good treatment. This is being made even more clear by her bulimia; she can't even be in her own body and just wants some sort of control over her life - which she doesn't have.

She has been living her whole life acting like nothing is wrong and everything's fine, and let's not forget Iske's former treatment of her which was cold and indifferent, where she again was desperate for acceptance/him caring for her and had to do so JUST in order to survive. Them being in love NOW is great, but it's not so simple as "to just tell him" the heaviest and in her eyes the most disgusting "flawed" secret she has.

Sorry for the rant, but I just can't stand some of the stuff I'm reading.
