idk i think everyone is being a bit too harsh... yes Ian wasn't great but you need to understand these were not the thoughts of a mentally stable man, both in the past and the present. Love is a double-edged sword. The society they are living in is harsh on those with disfigurements, even more so than it is now. She has rejected him more than once. when he proposed as a 'healthy' bodied man, she said no. When he came back with injuries the now nurse proposed herself, and he'd heard the words of her father describing him as basically a meal ticket. he was suffering from PTSD, coming off a warfield where scepticism could save your life, he had every right to be apprehensive. Fmore she rejected his efforts at keeping her out of prison, choosing not to stay by his side but go to jail. Things were bad enough that a brokie noble in name was going to be with someone of such high standing, but now an ex-convicted?? It was truly the severing of their relationship. I understand her choices were rooted in her inner values, but i don't see him as being unworthy of reconciliation...
