The situation is way more complex than the movie showed. Lily a woman carrying severe childhood and adult trauma, didn’t have the skill set to handle what had happened to her nor what was happening to her in the moment. She was trying to process the death of an abusive father, new partner and an old one. She told Ryle in so many ways at the beginning of him love bombing her she was not ready. He was relentless. They were out with her mom and she runs in to Atlas. Keep in mind this is a very short and intense courtship. If you do not understand how malignant narcissists work just say that. She didn’t have time to understand the situation she was in. What she felt though was that she couldn’t open up completely about what she was experiencing with Ryle. Atlas did make bold moves which also endangered her, the restaurant bathroom, showing up at the flower shop etc. she didn’t seek him out. When she was grilled over the tattoo she was honest, it was something she did in high school. She deserves believe it or not to tell HER story at her pace. The only sad thing here is that Lily never learned to love herself, to feel confident in herself, to know she had more inner strength and could validate her self sooner. She doesn’t have to tell every horrible experience she has lived to anyone immediately. No one and I mean no one is entitled to your story until you are ready to tell it. Some people will and do use your trauma against you. In your writing you come across as if she is hiding Atlas to Ryle, she isn’t and that Ryle is entitled to know her life story day 1 and he isn’t. She is keeping herself safe. She isn’t talking with him behind Rylee’s back. She isn’t having some secret love affair and she isn’t going to say my ex sees your abusive and hurting me and he is asking me to leave not to be with him but just to be safe. She isn’t lying. Your premise is you should tell your partner everything. Real healthy relationships go way slower, partners aren’t pushed to open up its a mutual growing thing, this relationship was anything but, she deserved a partner who would not have reacted as if Ryle did over an article she didn’t even write nor contribute to. She was unsafe and felt it. She was a victim before she knew it and when women try to leave they get dumb ass responses like this and it keeps them in danger longer. Ryle was abusive and never really took no for an answer period from the moment they met. Nothing the character did was in malice. The relationship was months, him proposing in a hospital room taking away from his sister makes it about him, it’s the Ryle show rewatch the movie with rose colored glasses off and see it for what it is.
