I dislike the mom so much u literally neglected ur child til his death and I dislike what Ethan did and he should pay I just want to say he was a child and it felt like Jamie didn’t understand even tho it’s not Jamie’s fault now he is a teenager he should understand that the kid only ever want his moms love but instead him and sue got it I felt bad for Ethan he couldn’t properly control his feelings cause no one ever showed him the mom should’ve been held accountable aww boo hoo she regrets it that’s too late your child is dead. But I’m glad everyone is happy I just felt that kid deserved better

This is all from his trauma and yes the fl is not the original but how is he supposed to know how is he supposed to trust someone who has constantly done bad things then suddenly changed it’s suspicious let’s be realistic about this situation if I was him and went through what he has I wouldn’t trust her either and as for the child she’s so sweet he shouldn’t be neglectful of her but imagine seeing the person who is an exact look alike of the person who cause you a lifetimes worth of trauma and all the memories flood back every time it’s not just them he can’t be around it’s all women cause of the trauma and instead of ppl trying to understand they call him cold and whisper also the fl comes from another world which knows of ptsd and she didn’t think for a fact that he may be experiencing it and just gets mad with his treatment she needs to understand things take time and since she is in a persons body who has done terrible things people won’t accept her as easily . The point I’m trying to make is they all have feelings they just need space and things shouldn’t be rushed cause it could cause more harm pulse the ml is trying

Actually, that reaction maybe because of his first wife. Earlier, didn't he have a sort of nightmare/hallucination where his first wife was curled around him and whispering in his ear? Whatever happened between them may have traumatized him to the point where he can't stand touching women. (He stopped dancing when his first wife passed away, so maybe it's women in general that he can't bear to touch.)

wait wait wait, we can't really blame the fl for not understanding him. just cause u know ptsd doesn't mean u can easily recognized who have this disorder. also she doesn't know that the king have bad experiences with women. she would have understand if the king treat only her badly but the king is also neglecting blanche which is probably cause she reminds him of his abuser but the fl doesn't know that, which made her think that the king is just a jerk to everyone. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

The original Abagail was put in a bad situation too. Some of it has been touched on but the original did not know she was going to be entering a touchless marriage. So she figured that maybe she could change his mind about that. It was wrong of him to not tell her that info until after the marriage.
She has her own expectations to live up to, as we see in recent chapters. New Abby is trying to avoid pressure from OG Abby's fam by dancing with the King so that she doesn't get gossiped about again. Also Abby's fam expects her to have a child.

Spoilers. But the reason why OG Abby got so crazy is because her upbringing was super mysogonistic. It wasn't just vanity, she was taught that she was worthless otherwise. So she went to extremes to make sure that she was the most beautiful woman around her new husband in hopes that he'd look her way. She was never given an explanation as to why he didn't want to touch her, so she toggled between blaming herself or blaming other women. I don't even think she loved the King. She just didn't have the framework to justify her existence without fulfilling her role as a proper wife and lady. Her family doesn't care about her husband's circumstances. She just kept getting told that she was be the problem by her family. I think its safe to say she was driven crazy by it.
The gaps in New Abby's memory of OG Abby's life get filled in and we will find out that OG Abby's death was an accident. She died after tying her corset too tight. Like that's how hard this already beautiful woman tried to beautify herself. She died for no reason. If she had a sense of self outside of what she looked like maybe she could have made peace with her "abnormal" marriage situation.

I’m not blaming haha I was just saying she could try to think a little more yk but not everyone thinks like that just saying if I were her I would think it’s weird the way he’s acting and would wonder y instead of thinking he’s just a jerk and that he hates me if I were blaming I would’ve said the fl needs to do better but I picked apart y both of them need personal growth and y some of the other ppl just bashing don’t seem to realize the big situation rather than he’s a jerk or she’s a jerk

Remember when he made that promise he said he would return and just to wait he didn’t specified when he would return, she doesn’t owe him anything but she knew he didn’t say anything bad in the letter since it was tampered yet still treats him cold high I don’t fully understand. She has went through a lot of trauma but she knows he didn’t take part in it and pretends she doesn’t know him why can’t they at least talk what happened out instead of leaving every time like I’m confused

That is tiring being called something that you don’t want to be called and being forced to wear girls clothes when he doesn’t want to I hope he will be able to speak up for himself in the future. Plus like what wrong with the guys who tease like what’s wrong with looking like a girl your mother is a girl your sister is a girl like it’s not a big deal those bullies need to grow tf up

I feel that it was immature to call him immature when she took advantage of him and even admitted it when u say it was wrong I did blank end the sentence right there because yes it was wrong I don’t do stuff like that it’s sexual assault even if you’re a kid yk it would be nice to have a sit down and them talk but he was avoiding it for a reason it is obvious he doesn’t want to pursue what happened with her instead of going after him y not wait until he’s ready to talk even if it can be frustrating u should push that onto someone and get mad when they don’t respond Ik since I’ve had situations happen b4 (not the assault but forcing feelings) I hope she grows more and and then they can discuss cuz I feel like art is just gonna give in and apologize that’s all ( if u disagree that’s fine but don’t be rude to me I’m human too and plz don’t try and force your opinions on me I’ll hear u out but if I say that won’t change my mind respect that )

I don’t feel bad for the ml at all he was grown enough to know what to do and what not to do and he paid for the choices he’s made it’s up the fl to forgive him or not she and her child had to suffer cause of him and her father and he felt bad cause of his guilty conscience but that on him he wanted to go back to ask her to forgive him but wanted to ask the her that didn’t know what happened that isn’t forgiveness that’s just erasing past mistakes the the other doesn’t know abt to make you feel better

the dad threatened him that if he wouldn't neglect reina he would kill her and her child and he couldn't do anything cuz if he did the people the father planted in the mansion will kill her and her son anytime
he WAS (past tense bitch) stupid and weak and couldn't do anything to save his wife and child and NOW he is trying to be a good father and husband so can ya'll just put aside the painful past and look at the bright future?
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that's why it is called present"

The dad threatened him because he let the dad threaten him. The moment he became a Duke he should have tossed the dad out. Instead he kept clinging to the father in law. He never tried to take his own power. It would be different if the father in law was a king or emperor, but he is just another Duke. And since when can a noble from another land interfere like that? If he has spies in your castle organize your people and kick them out. Not even because he loves the Fl. Putting all that aside for a moment, why even become the Duke as the second son if you aren't gonna take control? Like, what did he want the title of Duke for?
I wish he at least tired to live up to the words he spoke to the FL when they first meet in the glass house. "Live your life. Don't be swayed and give it to others."
Characters aren't always automatically likeable in stories. And characters shouldn't be automatically hated. But when a character is written in a way where they fuck up in a major way it normally takes more than being a little nice to redeem them.
This guy has a bit more of wiggle room because he remembers the past, unlike other MLs that were absolute shits in their past life to the FL but only the FL remembers it. So at least he knows where he fucked up and how to not do so this time. But also because he remembers he will be expected to make amends. And he hasn't done that yet. Not just in my opinion he hasn't done so yet.
He can't just show up and be nice all of a sudden. He has to tell her the conditions of their marriage. Everything up until a bit before Elle was born is the same as the last life. So they spent the majority of their marriage with him ignoring her. Which is why she gave him the stink eye when she asked if he liked her now. Until he at least communicates with her the process of making amends hasn't begun.

I agree with you that’s what I was saying and was saying that’s y I don’t like him and they were coming at me trying to make me change my opinion to what they like which is quite rude and then got mad at me for defending myself thank you mece !! I’m allowed to dislike characters people should be able to understand that :(

Some of y’all gonna claim the husband didn’t have a choice but you always have a choice it’s only if it’s favorable to you or not so don’t spout that what doesn’t change is what he did that can never be forgotten I don’t blame the wife if she doesn’t forgive him if I were in her position I wouldn’t trust him either cause of what he did even if he says it was for good reasons it still hurts and he could’ve took another approach and what she did to her child isn’t okay either
