Am I the only one who dislikes Riftan
He always makes her feel incompetent and easily broken, he doesn't encourage her to reach her full potential, in fact he tries to hinder her from becoming stronger and more capable. It feels like he likes her to be "weak" and "dependent" as he always tells her how she basically can't do anything. He refused to involve her in the discussions of his land and people even though she is the lady of the land herself and has every right to be involved in the matter of her own people and their welfare. He treats her more like a pet than an actual person capable of much more that sitting around in the safety of her own room waiting for her beloved husband to visit her.
I dont know if anyone read ACOTAR, but he reminds me Tamlin so much. Idk, I seriously dislike him and compared to Ruth for example, who saw her potential and helped her cultivate her abilities and become more confident in herself, Riftan seems so toxic. He loses his temper and calls her basically calls her useless then turns back and say "I'm just worried about you uwu" like stfu that's so toxic. Ugh, I really really don't like him.
