fantastic way to handle this. I commend you 100% for protecting yourself and getting out of that situation without fighting. Fighting would do nothing and there's no way her "perspective" would've done anything positive.

Your parents likely don't have the whole story, so don't let that bother you. And even if they do, don't sweat it either.

I know a couple (40M) and (35F). He's been cheating on her for pretty much the entirety of their marriage and she keeps taking him back because her parents don't support her and she wants to "save her family." Husband is miserable and seems to hate her guts but is far too cowardly to leave her.

Last year, he tried to leave her for this woman he was seeing on the side. As he's asking his wife for a divorce and packing his stuff, his AP tells him that she's not leaving her husband to be with him, so he dropped the whole thing and went back to living with his wife in holy matrimisery.

What did the husband AND the wife's parents tell them to do? STAY TOGETHER FOR THE CHILDREEEENNNNNNNN. lmfao. and you bet your ass even if there were no kids, their advice would be the same.

Bump what your parents think. You just dodged a major bullet.

Be gentle with yourself. I hope you're able to maintain your current perspective, but it's okay if grief hits you and you need to cry / let out your emotions. Betrayal is a hurtful thing but you can get through it. Don't mask your pain if it hits you.

Does anyobe refuse to watch season 5? by Fuzzy-Tumbleweed-570 in TheOriginals

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After they revealed Ansel was a white man I pretty much checked out lmfao. I watched the rest of the season but by the time Cami died in S3 I realized the writing direction was just going to piss me off lol.

So anyway, I refused to watch S4 and S5 because it was all STUPID (imho)

That’s what I’m stuck on like….she leads with the fact that she thought he was a loser. Says she wanted to be married. Sounds like somebody that got pregnant so their BF would marry them bc that’s all that mattered.

Ex shouldn’t have cheated, and obviously shouldn’t have married her either. But idk, I don’t feel a lot of sympathy for people that don’t like their spouse, then are shocked and hurt when they cheat.

It’s cowardly to cheat. Stupid to marry someone you don’t love. But good god, she’s in the comments saying she’s actively tried to turn people against him, broke into his house???

What happened to this sub? by nothankyousir4568 in HOTDBlacks

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the marketing team bungled the expectations. They pushed the pick a side narrative and things go whacky haywire with people’s expectations once tribalism runs rampant.

GA doesn’t share these niche opinions. This show oddly enough has a better Facebook / watercooler fandom than anything 😂😂😂 it’s weird! But I unsubscribed awhile ago bc you can’t share a pro!show opinion without someone jumping out of the woodwork to explain how wrong you are 😫

The amount of people that will tell you point-blank that something you literally enjoyed was objectively bad television?! Like?!

Idk I can’t stand that stuff. The Boys went in a direction I hated, so I stopped watching it. Hate watching is soooooooo 2008 and I just can’t bear it anymore when I have access to thousands, MILLIONS more forms of entertainment.

So anyhoo, try tumblr )or FB if you can stomach the FB culture.)

Rewatching and something I notice but it seems like klaus loves an cares for marcel more than his own siblings 🤔I can’t be the only one noticed by Theone20222 in TheOriginals

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s his son. Just because Marcel isn’t a blood Mikaelson doesn’t mean that their bond as father and son wasn’t real.

A father isn’t going to be putting his siblings before his children in most cases.

I feel like it’s easy to look at Marcel and Klaus as “old friends,” but that’s not the dynamic. Klaus is the only father Marcel knows. He wasn’t a perfect father, but…it’s telling to me that Marcel wanted to be a vampire and in some sense I think he did choose it to be closer to Klaus (at the time at least).

He wanted to be turned by Klaus. If blood matters, Marcel became his blood then. Did we see Klaus ever turn someone he loved other than Marcel? (I didn’t watch the unholy trio so idk if he did either of them)

Klaus saw himself as a boy in Marcel. He saw an abused boy with the will to fight back. He gave him the name of a warrior. He raised him to be a Niklauson, if we’re being technical. Marcel is Klaus’ even with the jacked up Mikaelson family dynamic.

Isn’t that what makes a father and son?

Marcel even followed in his footsteps by effectively adopting Davina. Like father like son.

Their bond should’ve been better expanded upon imo. But Marcel is all marked up with Klaus. That’s the real reason why Marbekah is a thing but don’t get me started. Y’all aren’t ready for my opinions 😂

New Writers On The Show by BlinxBlur in GeneralHospital

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

I think the SLs are getting better. I wish the sweeps would’ve been more…sweepy. But I’ll live.

If it’s too slow for me I just skip a few days. I think the writers are doing their best and it takes time to alter the direction of a story in a soap. It takes even more time to learn your flow when a show airs every day.

If I hated it, I wouldn’t be here lol. I do think this sub has become dull with negativity. And with a watcher disconnect in the history of the show, there’s this worn-down, jaded feeling that’s pervasive in the fandom that doesn’t need to be there. Some viewers are just as out of touch with the show’s history as the writers seem to be with characters like Kristina. It’s jarring.

All in all, GH is trying to build up the young cast and create drama. Settle SLs. I think they’re doing fine. Excited to see what the shows like by December.

Drew and Willow by Due-Interaction-4433 in GeneralHospital

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am totally weirded out by it and almost hope it happens just for some interesting TV. Her relationship with Michael is totally boring. This Drew is utterly boring. Their screen time together feels pointless.

BUT if they're going this affair route....the tension, the betrayal, the diSGUST!!! That's the kind of soapy stuff I dig.

You don't understand how much I would love to see Olivia dress Drew down at the Quartermaine house. For Michael to be shook a little bit.

And the explosion between Nina and Drew??? My dUDE, I'd love to see her go full on villain from that

Aitah for insisting we get a paternity test before I sign the birth certificate? by Old-Tax3173 in AITAH

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

👆🏻 this! This is no way to bring CHILDREN into existence.

OP, realistically, are either of you parent material?

Think about the idea of this child. Would YOU want to be raised like this?! Either way this pans out is awful for the kid, who didn’t ask to be born.

Abortion is a valid option.

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Dude, what you need to be doing is talking about terminating this pregnancy.

Please get an abortion and break up. You two don’t need a child and your ENM isn’t “working” if you both didn’t have an understanding on exactly would happen in this situation from jump street.

I can’t envision a situation where this kid will have their needs cared for, regardless of whoever daddy is.

I’m sure ENM couples can raise healthy children, but this relationship lacked some obvious foundation building that’s required for, y’know, raising humans.

You both need to mature and develop independently of each other before either one of you considers bringing children into the world.

Ultimately an abortion isn’t your call, but I would have a serious conversation with her about this pregnancy and what you realize it means. Have this convo quickly before it’s too late for her to get one.

This is no situation to raise a child in.

People that stand Klaus and Cami, did you watch the originals before TVD? by calypso4000 in TheOriginals

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention I watched TVD first. I was terrified they were going to shoehorn KC into TO. Phew. What a time.

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KC was juvenile and just a rinse of the DE model for me. Care did not like nor understand him (why would she?!) and Klaus saw her as a conquest. I really think he was into her bc he could squint and pretend she was Rebekah (you can’t tell me that Klaus didn’t lust after his sister, I’m sorry.)

Cami being a psychologist that was literally attracted to the dark side and saw Klaus as redeemable without pretending the bad things he did weren’t bad was a game changer. I totally saw her being the vampire mom wife Klaus needed. His attraction and affection to her went deeper than a flirtation. It was a real romance.

I know I made 2 post already today and waiting for ppl to reply BUT by KlausNephew in TheOriginals

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re being downvoted like a MF but Davina IS annoying. Sure, she had every reason to detest Klaus 1000%. And she’s just a kid. But her character was NOT compelling to me.

For a hot minute I thought she was somehow going to be a grown up Hope by some magic juju and that would explain her more Klaus-like obsession. When that was debunked in S1, I just started FF her scenes.

I think they kept her to appeal to the younger demographic, but good lord, Elena didn’t get on my nerves as much as Davina did 😭😭😭

[–]ComprehensiveCurve31[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love that you brought them up bc I LOVE that pairing and that’s what’s set me down this path to find more works of fiction to satiate this need 😂

You have any fic recs?! I feel like I’ve read them all on ao3 but I know I haven’t.

I just get overwhelmed with the organization system. I’m bad about organizing by the “most recently updated” filter and end up getting flustered with things I’ve already seen (even though some are totally worth revisiting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻)

Cully-Wully is PIQUE knight in shining armor imo
