I want hella character development. That’s just my cup of tea because I always see perfect main characters with minor adjustments to themselves and their environment. But this is angst and important and it seems there will be a lot of character development and insight. Regardless of whether or not they get back together, I like to see not only the choices made but what Leo learns. I think this is the mature romance. Leo, seems like a flawed lover, but sometimes people need breakups to learn things through. For Leo, it was easier to turn his lover into his full-time babysitter, and neglected the parts of what makes a “lover.” His needs were met, and JJ’s wasn’t.
More importantly, Communication doesn’t just involve talking and listening, it also involves insight. It seems JJ struggles to explain things for himself, but rarely does Leo try to pay attention and “active” listens.
Then, level of attraction is different, it seems they really clicked and the excitement helped them click together. However, that rarely steadies a relationship with so many obvious issues from the beginning. This many years in, and they barely navigated their communication problems. credit to JJ’s patience.
