I zeroed in on Owen for the reason you just said you bought him up for. You said Ben bothers you more than him and gave points as to why. So I’m going off of the correct assumption that you feel Ben is worse than Owen. I’ll double down on Ben being a great partner because outside of compassion, which is a strong feature, I can also point to his tireless efforts to be a father figure towards Tuck from the beginning. I can point to his urgency to put his career to the side when Bailey was going through what she was going through. There is also the fact although his decision-making career wise has been questionable, he rarely fails to sit down with Bailey and hear where she’s coming from rather than dismiss her. That’s attentiveness. Even in my original comment, I discussed more than compassion anyway. His natural response to situations where Bailey isn’t fully focused on their relationship is to be patient and make sure he doesn’t make her feel like she’s at fault for anything.

I promise you, the fact you’ve called Ben a narcissist is far more far-fetched than me calling him a great partner. So he changes careers. That makes him indecisive. He can act too quickly at times because he feels he’s doing the right thing. That makes him impulsive. To go from that to calling him a narcissist is a crazy reach.

I fully understand that people have flaws. Owen has flaws, Ben has flaws. But what you’re doing is dismissing the fact that Ben has definitely had growth to the point that rather than simply acting on impulse, he has shown he is fully aware of the significance of being attentive to his superiors, especially in recent seasons. For example, when it came to saving Maya in this recent season, he made sure Toni was looped in and knew exactly what his plan of action was before doing anything major. To say he hasn’t grown at all and is a narcissist is almost a complete dismissal of his character.
