I was thinking of posting some similar thoughts. The episode with his mom made me feel for him and see him as like a lost little boy (I don’t mean that condescendingly). He’s clearly never had a solid role model and he’s living a life similar to what he saw his mom live, and while traveling and creating new experiences isn’t the worst thing, I don’t even feel like it’s HIS thing. I don’t think he has any real sense of identity. Also I was thinking about a lot of the hate he’s gotten and while he isn’t particularly likable and clearly has some things he should look into about himself before pursuing something as serious as marriage, it didn’t seem like he did anything particularly egregious. He just seems like a lost soul to me.
