Periodt. There’s a science to making a likable asshole kind of character and this just ain’t it.
He’s effectively cornered Honey into being with him.

Henlo I am just here to say that a character being flawed is not the same as being compelling. The first couple is tragic because of circumstances that are out of their control keep them from being together (sort of). The second couple is miserable because one of them is an abuser who refuses to change. It’s not that they can’t be together, it’s that they shouldn’t.
