that tina girl needs to grow tf up. cant even fucking move on, then acting like an biatch who cant figure out her feelings tf dude u already lived ur life for the second time around and there's no character development lol that says a lot about u. it would be 100x better if smth where to happen to that guy and she would just end up miserable, i would love to see that
okay first of all tina has been through so much so it’s not crazy for her to not be able to get over her first love. he’s deeply embedded in her past and she only knew one way to love. she loves terriod but not the same way she loved her last lover which is why she doesn’t know she loves terriod. this isn’t her strong suit and she herself has said she wanted to try to love him. he was fine with that until he found out who her past lover was. yes i understand that’s a harsh awakening that she might’ve only said that because you look like her past lover and it’s not easy to get over but if they talked it out properly it would be solved. if tina could convey how she felt for him isn’t the same burning love she had for her king but more of a peaceful river type of love if she could realize that herself it would be solved.
At this point Terriod is more jealous of Theo than hurt that Tina doesn't love him. He already knew that he fell in love first and that Tina was working on her own feelings, she never lied or pretended to offer more than she was ready to give. And he was perfectly fine with all that. But as soon as he found out that there was an actual man with a name and face in her heart, suddenly he wants all her heart immediately. He's being a petty child. It's like expecting a widow to say they don't love their dead spouse anymore. It's an unreasonable and childish expectation. She won't admit that she loves Terriod because she's trying to be honest and gentle with his heart and she's still working through her own grief and understanding of what's happening. She went into this marriage fully prepared for this man to remain an incoherent beast his whole life. She didn't come expecting to be in a real romance. She's doing her best. He's throwing a tantrum.
I agree with you so much . Not just this story but in a lot of comics there is a trend of MLs who act like children and it's just so disgusting. I am 34, I am not impressed by fantasizing about dating someone with zero maturity. The inherent sexism in it all really gets my goat too. Terriod is not entitled to her love. Because this marriage was a coerced political marriage to begin with. Everyone whining about how she's not a good partner - she didn't chose to enter a romantic relationship she married a literal dog to protect her sister.
He needs to grow tf up. Over here crying and ruining his own life over a dead man. Maybe since he sent all his pubescent years as a dog, he never matured past age 12, but if that's the case he needs to find a good uncle to confide in so that man can tell this baby boy to get his head out of his own ass
