Meh, not at all what I was expecting. It just turned out to be the Bachelorette... I was hoping it was something with high stakes and more insidious, considering how dark the series started with her abusive husband. Also, I don't think she's doing a very good job of pretending to be the Pink Diamond chick... Besides, what happens when they reveal their identities? Do they really think Pink Diamond will come back before then? Also, why can't they just announce she's gone missing and find a real replacement instead of making someone pretend to be her? It's not like this is a TV show with ratings and sponsors who need celebrities to keep viewership up... Isn't it just some weird mysterious magical phenomenon...?
Uhh why didn't he just say that he wasn't the one who wrote that letter? Why did he let her just continue to misunderstand and think he's a pervert?
Tbh the same can be said for her. She never actually said the reason at all for why she acted like that- using her words. She just said it like “if you don’t know then I have nothing else to say” when she also could’ve just say it. She was the one to be mistaken so it’s weird that he has to be the one to clarify, she also turned off the treadmill he was using and could’ve actually caused him to seriously get hurt. She also could’ve made sure to confirm with her co-worker exactly who it was. She did more harm and he didn’t do anything, so I don’t see why he has to be the one to clear things up.
Plus even if he did say he didn’t write it, I doubt she would believe him- she was way too convinced that it was him based on a shirt. Saying “it wasn’t me” doesn’t help. She should’ve gotten confirmation and multiple details or even asked the co-worker to point the guy out.
She gave him the letter and he read it. She already said she's mad because he gave her that letter. What else is she supposed to say? He already knows why she's mad but doesn't do anything to correct her misunderstanding. Also, go back and read when the MC bought the purple tiger shirt. They said only like 4 had ever been made and they had already sold one (presumably to the perverted guy who wrote the letter), but the MC bought the others. The MC is legit the only other guy around wearing the shirt. Agree that she shouldn't have stopped his treadmill like that though.
Wasn’t the pervert also wearing a tiger shirt? It wasn’t only the ML. They showed the pervert right after the incident. And by what I meant when she should clarify is: she should explain why she’s mad and what exactly she thinks he did. She was bold enough to stop his treadmill and be angry at him but not enough to just say “you said you wanted to sleep with me. I think that’s enough reason to call you a pervert. My coworker said it was the guy wearing a tiger shirt.” Instead she just said, “if you don’t know- then thats the end of the conversation.” Even if he said “it wasn’t me” I highly doubt she would believe him since she was super convinced it was him that she didn’t even hesitate or think something was off.
It’s similar to how if some random person suddenly pushed you, yelled at you- and called you a thief that stole their stuff. They will be convinced regardless of what you say despite there being no good evidence it was you. For all he knows- she could be some girl who confronted him just cause he “looked like a pervert.” There’s also been plenty of cases irl where women filmed themselves working out at the gym and if a guy looks anywhere in their direction- they call him a pervert.
Personally, no matter how upset I am- I would make absolute sure who it is. I would’ve asked my coworker for exact details, hair color, height, build, etc. Asked her to point in his direction. Would’ve never stopped his treadmill because it could get me fired or have a lawsuit against me. She was lucky enough he didn’t bother to do either of those. I would’ve told him and confronted him “are you the one who wrote this letter?” Then had a right to be mad if it was confirmed. She jumped to conclusions and didn’t think properly at all. Then continued to give a rude attitude later. When she realizes her mistake- she’d be very embarrassed. I would also let him speak if he had something to say or explain. I still do not believe he has to be the one to clarify when she did the most harm. If I were the ML- I would also be pissed at such treatment.
I don't think your process is realistic. Good for you if you're gonna go to all that trouble to track down a pervert, but there was only one guy around at the time wearing the very specific tiger shirt. It's not a common thing to wear (only 4 of it in existence), so of course she thinks he's the one. The other guy was NOT there at the time (or at least he was not wearing the tiger shirt at that time). Also, high possibility the description of the guy ends up matching as "tall guy with short black hair and a tiger shirt at the gym." Plus her coworker doesn't seem the type who's observant and gives good descriptions.
Also, how is she supposed to interpret the guy asking for an apology without any context? In her mind, she rejected a pervert, and now he's mad about it. He needs to tell her that she made a mistake, she isn't going to just assume she made one.
She still thinks he's the one who sent her the letter, and his responses imply he doesn't think he did anything wrong by giving her that letter. She says "That's the first and last time I've received a letter like that" and he responds "Apologize to me." Like hello? Why doesn't he say "I didn't send you a letter" or "that wasn't my letter" or something? She says "I'm not interested in your proposals" and he just says "that's not the problem here"? Like what? He doesn't even disagree that he made a proposal to her.
She thinks he's a pervert, so of course she's being short with him. Why would you give a pervert a chance to explain himself? Also, she's alone in the room with a man she thinks made inappropriate sexual advances on her. Of course she doesn't want to hang around and hear his side of the story. Also, the ML is giving no sign of explaining himself anyways. He just keeps cryptically asking for an apology without explaining why he deserves one.
And of course she's gonna be embarrassed when she finds out she was wrong, but my comment was just that the ML should have just said something??? Instead of trying to intimidate her into apologizing without explaining anything??
It’s very obvious he was not the only one wearing that shirt. How would she know the specific shirt is rare and not common? There’s plenty of tiger shirts in the world. Plus there’s an image of the co-worker saying it was a dude with a tiger shirt- lifting weights and had a shaved head. Since it’s obviously mistaken- he definitely wasn’t the only one in that gym to wear a tiger shirt. I have an example of questions I would’ve asked my co-worker such as how tall he is, what’s his hair color, etc. Especially the question “where is he right now? Is he on the treadmills, doing weightlifting, or did he leave the gym already?” I don’t jump to conclusions right away to avoid embarrassing myself and accusing innocent people. Since it’s not impossible to have coincidences in the world. Also we tend to forget the FL also is not the most observant, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she didn’t look around the gym properly seeing as she didn’t even recognize him after meeting him recently twice.
It’s very obvious she will not believe him if he just said “I didn’t write the letter.” She was too convinced over a shirt she had never seen in her life (which doesn’t make sense for your point that she would know it’s a rare shirt and knows there’s only 4 existing). Tiger shirts are common and basically the most basic tacky thing people can buy at any cheap clothing shops. I give him the chance to explain himself AT THE BEGINNING. Aka I would straight up ask him “did you write this letter?” Which would have cleared up everything. At the end of the day, the fact remains she misunderstood and harmed him, no matter if she knows it or not. When people find out the truth- she needs to be the one to explain and apologize. Not the innocent being accused with no good evidence whatsoever. It sounds like you’re saying “I stan the FL forever no matter what she does wrong! Even if she’s in the wrong, the ML has to be the one to clear things up!” Him saying “I didn’t write the letter” won’t do anything because she’s too stubborn and believes her own view of him. I don’t hate the FL, and thought she was cute- but I will call her out on her dumb actions.
People also called out she was being vague. Saying “you know what you did” and leaving without actually saying what made them upset. He did say “why should I?” She could’ve told him upfront right there but she decided to avoid saying anything. She ain’t the one in the right here. She has just as much or most of the blame for this situation.
Their conversation went like:
Him: “apologize to me.”
Her: “no you apologize.”
Him: “why should i?”
Her: -keeping silent-
Her: “if you don’t know, then bye.”
Him: “I’m not finished talking.”
Her: “I don’t wanna listen to what you say.”
She avoided the conversation. She had absolutely no issue confronting him the first time while shouting and turning off his treadmill and telling him to apologize to her. Why can’t she hold a simple conversation without running away?
Lmao you need to chill. You're the that put me on the FML's side, rather it's that you're the one stanning the ML until you die for some reason. You're the one who said the ML shouldn't have to explain himself when the FML is the one in the wrong... which sure, she is the wrong one here, but there's literally no other way for the misunderstanding to get resolved?? The ML was the one perpetuating the misunderstanding here. He literally could have just said straight-up that he didn't write the letter and she should apologize to him. There's no point in him remaining silent and letting her continue to misunderstand. That's all I was saying. You're way too heated about this.
I already clearly said I liked the FL but I will absolutely call any character out on their dumb af actions. She’s being the most unreasonable here- and I can’t stand that type of behavior. Avoiding having a conversation helps no one. I didn’t have any issue with her at all until this incident. Once she realizes her mistake and makes up for it- then I won’t mind her and would go back to enjoying her character. I put myself in the ML’s shoes, where I would be pissed if someone randomly accused me of something I didn’t do with no actual evidence. That’s the only reason why I look like I’m a “ML stan.” You do know picking the side of who you think did less harm doesn’t automatically make them a stan? The way the misunderstanding could be resolved is if she actually stopped and had a conversation with him and also ask her co-worker more questions about what happened.
I don't like the ML. The FML has said quite a few times that she likes him because he's an innocent dumb himbo. However, that's all a lie and his real personality isn't like that at all. Plus he does all his creepy scheming and gaslighting in the background (like destroying all the pillows and claiming they had bedbugs...) while also being super handsy with her.
I think it's dumb she fell in love with him in the first month of marriage, but it's even worse that the guy she fell in love with and waited all these years for was a lie.
She should just go with the foreign merchant, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and they get along.
ML is so boring and bland, he has zero personality... I'd like this more if the ML was more interesting. Even his design is bland, he has no interesting traits.
