I think the FL is naive and was in a delicate state. Well, it’s very understandable—she doesn’t know anything about the world. A pampered lady, suddenly left with nothing; all the riches were gone, her father died, and I’m not even sure if she inherited debts.
.
She thought she could find comfort in her husband, but her husband was damaged beyond repair. Who knows, maybe he was afraid to touch her or be rough with her, fearing he might accidentally hurt her. He locked her up—maybe because he thought it was his only way to have her and protect her.
.
The puppy, the lady, and the broken soldier—they were all scared. People need therapy.
@Tokioki I beg to differ. I agree that the FL is too fragile to handle him, and ML is too damaged to be fixed, but these are not faults of their own. they have been dealt the worst cards and they couldnt handle it. not their fault at all.
@Tokioki While the ML definitely messed up in terms of communication, I personally cannot think of FL as having done anything wrong. She had come with an open mind and actively tried to meet and talk to him, but he refused her offer every single time. There’s a limit to how much rejection and neglect a person can handle and I believe ML basically pushed her away all on his own. Sure, he was not exactly in the best of mindsets but that, as @Spacetrebushet says, is not an excuse to ignore what he did to her and the impact it left behind.
Honestly, FL is actually kinder than me because I’d never even consider the idea of helping someone who treated me like that if the same had happened to me. Becoming his therapist and helping him heal (a trope that keeps popping up in stories these days that’s very much not a good thing to encourage) is not her responsibility at all.
@Tokioki The fl was just an average person and she became fragile bc of his bad treatment of her. She tried to communicate with him but got tired of him. She’s not a therapist with no personal stake in the outcome that only has to deal with him for an hour a week. She was hurt by his attitude when she came there completely openhearted, he didn’t except her, he actively neglected her and abused her and ppl don’t just get an eternal pass for bad behavior because they’re messed up. It’s their job to heal and not take their issues out on innocent ppl
@dapperlady While he is a red flag, he didn’t kill her in the previous chapter, he didn’t push her off the stairs, she fell while fleeing him, at most he’s an accessory to her accidental death. It’s still awful and I get why she wants nothing to do with him and she doesn’t have a responsibility to help him
He didn’t actually murder her and didn’t wanted her to die or have a misreable life ,To what we have he provided her with everything but you know PTSD get better of you whatever you it’s not easy to overcome.
What? Bro straight up murdered her? I’m surprised she hasn’t lept on him at first sight to claw his eyeballs out after what he did to her, much less want to benevolently fix his life. The only reason I’d be slightly inclined to do it is to prevent the suffering of whatever other wife he would have. She did nothing wrong, she has obv attempted communication, but he was severely mentally ill and dangerous, and that does not excuse his treatment of her. She is not fragile, I wouldn’t have lasted a day with a man like that, she is much stronger than me. Ian of her past life was vile, hands down, no questions. But this Ian…. It’s hard to condemn him for acts he technically hasn’t yet committed but that’s easy for me to say since I wasn’t the one he committed them against, which is why I’m surprised she seems to untraumtized to see him. I really hope he is not the ml tho, idk if I can get down with the man who actually murdered her, his wife, in his past life
i think both have faults here if only both of them try to communicate with each other it would’ve worked out but , the dude is too damaged to be restored and she’s too fragile to step up to fix him.

they all need to fix their heads and get therapy…I mean, with their minds straight it could’ve been a lot better.
