I actually don’t hate her ex. In fact, I kind of like him. It occurred to me that while she ended their relationship because she felt shxtty, she still knew what she was getting herself into when she pursued him, looked after his dad and then dated him, so their end was a natural consequence for her wanting someone whom she knew, wasn’t in love with her. He’s probably never been in love once in his entire life and got caught up thinking that given the place she’d taken in his life, that simply was a natural next step in their relationship. And like he said to a friend of his a chapter or two ago, he does love her, but that’s only because he thinks of her as family. I’d be interested in seeing him fall in love for real. Not with her though, because she belongs with our real gorgeous ML.
