same, but I just think they want us to sympathize with him…
I understand that but its way too different than what we saw about their relationship.
I think it's because he's in denial that he's like his stepdad who beat anyone close to them to submission. Abusers tend to gloss the fact that they did something terrible and pretend it didn't happen or it was out of love
i mean like you said the stories are from separate perspectives. each character has different povs and memories of what happened. that’s why they’re not the same.
I just cant believe 'he is that denial'. He literally says how he punish Ruby regularly. Even if its narrative, why didnt we see some "yes, i did that but she deserved it" narrative, instead of "we were close. She even stayed she wanted to be with me, like marriage. She promised to be with me" like, what? If these moments happenned, why Ruby doesnt have any memory of this? What i am trying to say is: their memories doesnt look like "two sides of same coin". It looks like two different memories.
Ruby did mentioned before that she 'acts' in front of her family to not get punished and stuff. But i forgot when the abuse started, if i don't recall it wrong it was after the first marriage?
Huh? What? I know they both tell the story from their own perspective of it but why their memories and interactions look so different from another? Wasnt he beating her and abusing before the marriage? Lets say "this is beforeee, way before she married with ML", why mcs memories doesnt include how close they were as kids/teens? Or is this original story? I am kinda confused and frustrated. Because they really look like tragic lovers in here idk man. The way mc acted and told the story was different than....this. Ooof whatever.
