I understand where Raymond is coming from but at some point, when he grew up, he should've either A. realized how irrational his feelings were or B. buckle down and avoid her at all costs. He did neither of those things and only half heartedly continued their relationship. Only to realize, once he decided to actually draw the line, he liked having her around.
Like my guy you push someone away till they dislike you (ik it's cause the MC replaced the princess but that's what it would look like in his perspective.) you can't expect to change their mind. You broke down your relationship with your own 2 hands, threw away whatever trust yall had for eachother, and put her down to the best of your ability. There is only so much slack one can give you before realizing that you were the problem.
Ik people are justifying it since he missed his mother's death and like I said before I could understand why he did what he did when they were children. I could also understand if they were teens. But they're in their 20's now (no 100% sure how old tho) and he'd still maintained a half hearted shitty relationship. He can't blame her for any of his actions. Nor can he change his mind now that he feels guilty. Cause it doesn't feel like he genuinely wants to rekindle as much as it is the guilt of his own actions.
