She was literally in a happy relationship with her arranged marriage partner for years (super rare for the nobility) and was finally about to tie the knot when a random stranger swooped in and forced her to marry him instead. He upended and took complete control of her life without even speaking to her once. I think she’s acting pretty reasonably in terms of her dramatic dislike for him.
He is devoted to her, but doesn’t care about her opinions or autonomy. The relationship basically began with him snatching her away from everything she planned against her will. Now she can’t be with the man she loved and is essentially a trophy bride to a stranger. She’s hella realistic and justified
It was not a happy relationship, He was obviously a womanizer but she chose to ignore it because she thought she found a worthy man of "noble birth". People are saying she's unlikeable because for 4 years she's been throwing a tantrum everytime she's around him and using violence. She calls herself a dignified princess but she doesn't know how to have a proper conversation for 4 years??
Yesss this what I meant, fl was delusional and explosive. Being a "dignified princess" comes with elegance and precise execution of behavior, not slapping ppl like it's a hobby
Yep
What he did was the same as if he kidnapped and imprisoned her. The only difference is whether he received the king/her family’s permission before everything went down. Just because someone is unlikable doesn’t mean that people in higher positions of power should be allowed to trample all over their autonomy.
Why is she expected to be elegant and dignified with someone who is essentially holding her against her will? Sure, she isn’t hog tied at the altar, but it’s not like she would have even able to escape or support herself if she tried to envy the king or go against her family’s arrangement.
Divorce is not a thing here, and even when it is, only he would be able to initiate. She will be stuck with him until he dies. She is mourning the loss of the happy life she was planning that were destroyed at the whims of a man who never even spoke to her once before he forced her into marriage.
I don’t understand why people are so eager to give this guy a medal for not being abusive when the person he married against their will justifiably hates him and acts upset about it.
Just because she’s not a perfect little saint and has classist biases it’s fine for him to do whatever he want with her life?
If she was written as a tough peasant woman acting violent when a noble forcibly wed her, would people treat that scenario the same. Would they call her ungrateful for being resentful and unreceptive?
Even if she has an unpleasant personality, it doesn’t mean that she isn’t justified in reacting violently to a traumatic loss of autonomy.
Nah, miss gurl was delusional when the obvious better choice was right there. 1st or 2nd slapping is understandable, 3rd slapping so on are in denial. fl was rooted in fantasy instead of reality, she just couldn't see past the facade made by her ex and refuse to acknowledged it until it happened in front of her. Her ex is literally a womaniser. Until then, she always resort to being explosive. She doesn't act like a dignified princess that's been taught to view other ppls perspective except herself, rather act like a... entitled princess. 4 years is a long time, sadly she doesn't use communication skill to solve her issues instead resorting to tantrums like a child. It's not like ml is gonna kill her for asking lmaoo, and ml does care about her otherwise they would've done the deed long time ago(forcefully). Hence why shes unlikeable.
So if you think someone is in a toxic/shitty relationship and you’re obviously the better choice, it’s ok to ignore their opinion and force them to be with you? That’s the logic you’re working with? Even if it’s “the wrong choice” she still should have had the right to make it.The ex being a creep is an entirely separate issue. If someone is in an abusive relationship, you don’t get good guy points for kidnapping them and forcing them to be in a relationship with you instead.
So as the person who was forced into the sham relationship, it’s her job to put effort into growing something stable and affectionate. She was so easy to win over it wasn’t even funny. Talk about a low bar. Literally all he had to do is say he actually cared about her and didn’t think of her as a trophy and she practically threw herself at him. That’s how little effort HE put in for years.
So if someone has an abrasive, self centered personality whatever person who comes around that is more likable can do whatever they want to them because obviously they’re justified to ignore the shitty person’s opinions, will, autonomy, and consent?
So he gets points for not being a rapist? Wow, she really should be so eternally grateful that he was generous, kind, and affectionate enough not to rape her. The bar really is in hell.
God FORBID an fl is unlikeable lmaooooo
My entire point is not that she’s an amazing, perfect character (at all, or compared to him), but that her personality issues don’t justify what he did to her. Just because she’s arrogant, classist, and volatile doesn’t mean anyone who isn’t those things can walk off the street, do whatever they want to her, and still be treated like the better half
What a unlikeable fl
