I honestly see ur point but I think for Keith we do see that he is doing therapy it would’ve been great if we got to see the beginning of his therapy. Other than that he hasn’t really changed .which is why I could care less for his story. In my opinion linus changed for the better and he still has to see taresa cause they do have a daughter. I think they should stop being so damn close though it’s a little weird. For me I always thought that howe and Tommy were perfect they’re chemistry just hit me and it just made sense. Right now I dislike that they’re so much going on and I really just want Tommy to be happy. Limits is most likely gonna end up with that coworker that likes him. I’ve seen this trope sooo many times. Howe and Tommy are most Likley gonna end up tgther and Keith and the secretary. Ig I see ur point now with the whole authors is tryna couple everyone up. It feels a little rush and a little slow. I’m sorry if this didn’t make any sense I’m just rambling atp
Couldn't agree more!!
Tbh i do prefer tommy starting with someone new outside of allll that group..
I kinda liked the friendship between howe and tommy but maybe the author being like they were there for each other so they grow feelings but then again he knew alot of things back then even tho it wasn't his place to say it but he could've atleast tried with Keith to not hurt her (tho he kinda talked to him but stood at the sides most of the time) and even the way he took Tessa's side that time i just can't let it go..
and even now he's being one step forward 10 steps back with Tommy and it's kinda messing with his and her feelings but still he's more kinda more decent than the rest but still i don't feel good about it cause there's always gonna be Keith and tessa around..
And Keith is just disgusting.. i just wish they'd left him at that season with some stds and that's it there's no development no redemption no regrets nothing.. it would've been more convincing if he actually choose to move on or work on himself after what happened at the last season.. Cause IT WAS ENOUGH to make him quit his ways or just do better like he finally kinda broke free from chi or hated her or just realized the truth and even lost tommy which they were really close to having maybe something real.. so that should've been enough to wake him up
But even after it he just went on as he was before like it mean anything and not even botherd by it and didn't even regrets ruining it with Tommy
And now like he's going to therapy while still doing the same shit and just trying to hit on this girl out of nowhere like he always does.. like there wasn't anything special nothing happened to make him be like oh i want to start new or do things right and there wasn't much between them for him to fall for her expect she wasn't giving in easily but now she is.. it's not like something to make a bond or something for him to work for it he just saw her there and available and it might actually work now even tho he is still the same but chi out of the way ..and with the same mentality as before
Tho it's kinda weird that it could've worked out between him and Tommy if chi wasn't there cause they almost had it..
Thank you. You put this perfectly. Like why is NOW the moment Keith decides to change his ways(but also not really change his ways)? He couldn't have been redeemed when he was with Tommy or figured things out before we saw him hitting on yet another person? He couldn't even keep it in his pants for his therapist. I feel bad for the secretary for attracting the attention of someone that has slept around as much as him(it's probably in the thousands at this point instead of just the hundreds). She will never feel completely okay because his past is so bad.
And Howe definitely is not a good person for letting all of these bad things happen to Tommy when he could have taken her side or at least let her know. It's like he doesn't really even consider her a friend, let alone someone he cares deeply about. It's like everyone forgot that Howe hasn't been perfect. He's just slightly less of a douche than the rest of them.
Exactly like if atleast he had some other reaction when seeing tommy now or felt awkward or just realized it after seeing her after all those years it would have been more realistic like he wants to start new or something but he was like seeing just an old friend .. like It didn't mean a thing or nothing happened back then .. but after everything happened I don't think it's acceptable or just normal to be this calm when seeing her..some guilt man some shame or !! if he actually got something out of the therapy he would at least feel some guilt or shows on his face when seeing her or just some thoughts later or just not sleep around that much after.. the only thing he mentioned he never had a healthy relationship expect for that gf before.. he even considered his relationship with Tommy toxic.. but i think he was getting better with her and he was actually the toxic one with her and never even tried having a healthy relationship with anyone he's not even admitting his faults
exactly why bother therapy for fucked up relationships when he's gonna repeat them with the therapist
The secretary might be like some challenge to him and she's available and there and she's just not giving in so easily but now she is tho .. and It's gonna be the same thing as his other hook ups the only difference is she's around so it's not gonna be just one time thing and some how it's gonna develop from there. It's just forced
He's been flirting all the time but she didn't fall for it yet or he would have slept with her along time ago like with anyone else but i don't think it's gonna take long before they do it now
There's no development nothing serious they barely know each other not to make him want to change all of a sudden and be in a healthy relationship with her.. and the sad thing that it might actually work.. cause chi isn't around but what if she is will it work? If it does then this might be called a progress
But what if chi wasn't there when he was with Tommy?
And he might not actually tell her about his past
He seems to be just him going around in life like whatever works works hoping for a something good when not even admitting his faults or changing his ways
And it's actually annoying
Now actually after reading you comment i realized something
Howe is better as far as we know compared to others.. cause he wasn't involved in all that messy relationships like them .. he was in his own world with his wife and busy with tessa shit so he didn't actually had a chance to fuck up like the rest of them and didn't even care
He kinda stood aside and watched. he knew Chi's husband was up to no good but still didn't talk to him or Keith about it ..he knew about chi and Keith long Time before .. he should atleast help him when seeing him trying for a healthy relationship and trying to break away from chi ..
Even if Keith didn't tell him.. if i considered someone a close friend and see them going through shit and fucking up just ruining their lives and be in pain I won't just stand aside watching or waiting for them to actually ask for an advice when i can try helping to even talking to them .. if it's something i can do.
And the thing with defending tessa even if she's your sister she isn't some young stupid child to not know what she did and it's wrong anyone knows.. and be like she's soo young so I'm gonna even defend her mistakes when tommy has every right to be angry
And tbh i think the only time he helped after tommy saw Keith with chi when he talked to them and brought tommy to him but it was too late tbh the damage already been done other than that it felt like tommy was there for him all the time.. but he didn't actually help with anything other some casual talking before it all .. She was there for him when his wife was sick and he was sad and later when he discovered it's her on that app .. and it felt like he actually fell for her cause of the timing and he was going throw a rough time and she was just there .. but what did he actually help tommy with?
They were there for each other? Not really. now it feels She actually considered him a friend and helped him but it wasn't the same for him til the timing was right and needed someone then he just disappeared on her when it all ended .. like not even a friend
It seems like the author is writing the story as they go along instead of coming up with a clear ending and going towards that goal. So now the story has become too messy and the author is trying to wrap up all lose ends and pair everyone up with someone and have everyone redeem themselves in some way. But redemptions are only believable when you see characters go through something that makes them want to change and we aren't really seeing any of that. Why is Keith all of a sudden acting like a different person now? What triggered this change all of a sudden? It's not a realistic pairing or change. And how is anyone in the story supposed to change anything about their behaviors when they can't even seem to change the people that they associate with on a daily basis? And now I basically felt like they paired up tommy with howe just because he was one of the least toxic characters in the series. I would have rather they stayed platonic and she could have had someone who is actually there for her without an alterior motive. Another forced coupling just so that everyone ends up with someone and everyone gets a happy ending.
