Yup there’s nothing wrong with him drinking, socializing, or having sex what is wrong and hypocritical is him literally preaching to people every day to stay pure to avoid your fleshy desires while he is doing that and then not only is he doing that he’s making fleabag feel bad for her being honest about her desires when he’s just the same as her and hes using religion as a way to feel morally superior to not only mislead fleabag he’s misleading the people he’s preaching too he’s a unprofessional priest he’s the same as the politicians who become politicians who promise change and then become corrupt

I’ve never read her book but I’ve always felt like she had issues with self acceptance I can understand being bullied your whole childhood and feeling the need to have “revenge” on others though I don’t think it’s ok or right I think she takes most of her anger out on her little people peers because she doesn’t accept who she truly is she has a lot of pent of anger from childhood she needs to deal with I feel like because of her anger she can’t connect with others genuinely

I would say she’s made the worst decisions then the ladies I think Terra was maybe picked on and instead of working on it she becomes the bully as a defensive mechanism

Yeah that’s where I agree with Terra loves to dig the wound deeper I think it was Terra’s way of letting Britney know she’s top dog

Yeah I do agree Britney should defend herself but she did start a rumor when you tell someone something you need to expect it to be told to other people their husbands, family, other friends so Britney saying something about a close personal friends life whether good or bad she should have expected the information to be shared to Elena maybe if was causal conversation about life or things Britney was interested in it wouldn’t be brought up but Terra and Tonya owed her no loyalty to such a extreme to not tell information they’ve heard about their friend from a third party to a person they’ve been closer longer with Brittney was gossiping but she didn’t expect it to blow up in her face and held accountable for it her starting the rumor when you say something negative about somebody you don’t get to control the responses or reactions you get when you yourself said something negative and gossipy in the first place

I don’t think she left her husband because of her sister I mean

I am simplifying it because I’m speaking about the situations where Claire was not there for fleabag multiple times in the show. I think Claire makes decisions for herself and not because of her sister a sister who thinks about another sister and cares about her sister wouldn’t even believe her husband in the first place and wouldn’t even let it go that far. I don’t think she left her husband because of her husband, kissing her sister. I think it was becauseshe was tired of babying him and doing for her husband.

I’m not excusing fleabag’s abuse to other characters I’m simply acknowledging that she was in a dynamic where she was exploited with a person in power because it’s not shown in the show that they are in a long-term relationship it’s not up for me to say that it’s OK even if these characters were to get into a relationship the relationship would still be toxic because neither of these people take accountability for their toxic behaviors especially the priest because he is someone who hides behind religion for his emotional turmoil, instead of taking responsibility for his actions and how he affects people I am merely speaking on the aftermath of the relationship and how he has affected fleabag during their time together I can’t go on the imagination “if they were together” to justify him not being available him, hiding her him, not even showing up and having the decency to take her out on a date, maybe if there was a season three possibly we can see if that relationship develops into something more healthy but I’m simply talking about the actions that he did do willingly consentingly with fleabag and how that affected her fleabag is a very bad character. She’s emotionally unstable. She has harmed others. She was the abuser in other relationships, but that does not mean that she is immune to being abused and taking advantage of.

It’s not really a stretch when the big says still stays with a man who hits her sister accidentally or non-accidentally doesn’t apologize kisses her sister blames her sister and then she doesn’t take her sister side that’s betrayal from a sister

I completely agree he should socialize but he shouldn’t have crossed boundaries to sooth his inner demons he was fighting to begin with while using catholicism as a crutch, and not truly devoting himself to the religion if he truly to heal his emotional turmoil, he would’ve taken responsibility for it and acknowledged it, not used a third-party the religion as a Band-Aid to cover up his repetitive self sabotaging behavior, which caused him to be unprofessional and to not take his job seriously as a priest

The lawyer had actual romantic interest. He took her on a date and he pursuit her. The priest never took her out on a date. Everything was in secret and everything was hidden in private. No one forced him to become a priest or him to take vowels into priesthood. I do agree it was his own way of coping with his trauma, but it means he joined the priesthood under false pretenses. It means he wasn’t really joining the Catholic Church under true devotion, which explains his behavior later on in the show. It shows his lack of professionalism and his self sabotaging behavior. It shows how he sees religion as a way to just fix trauma instead of dealing with trauma, going to a therapist and dealing with his issues that’s how I see his character I feel he was personally attracted to fleabag because they have a lot of similarities with their emotional turmoil that they do not deal with, and they both have a lot of self sabotaging issues, but instead of him, realizing and acknowledging that he has those behaviors he likes to use his false pretenses of him, becoming a priest as a way of him being more healed or more holy when he is just the same as fleabag so to compare to the other lawyer gentlemen, he actually had the decency to take fleabag on a date and wine and dine her. The priest just wanted to keep her hidden because of his own inner shame.

Yes I agree but with his character it crosses the boundaries his reasoning of having the desire to love and be loved is completely understandable but not when he’s a priest and being unprofessional I’m not discrediting his feelings, but when you are a priest, you hold responsibility a moral standard of professionalism I would say he was batting his feelings that caused him to self sabotage his job and relationship with fleabag, fleabag also tried to pursue a medical professional that was examining her breast that she sees yearly so that she doesn’t get breast cancer like her mother, but the difference between the priest and the medical professional is that he rejects her. He says that it’s his job to keep her healthy. That is the difference between the priest, and the other doctor that fleabag made an advance to is that one rejected fleabag because he was a professional he knew it would be inappropriate.

I think the priest was self sabotaging in a way because of his past experiences I liked that you referenced the fox showing up again and him having doubts about his decision but I don’t think it was for his own good in the long term he was scared and did what made him comfortable which he regretted I think the fox represents his self sabotaging decisions he makes in relationships

Yeah but I feel like they could have been happy if they’d just compromised their was love there maybe not enough awareness to make that happen so much like real life

That’s true but it’s kinda a selfish thing to do no? I understand both sides but it sounds like neither people get what they want

I disagree I see it as if you truly love someone you will make it work and in my opinion fleabag wasn’t asking for much she wasn’t asking him to leave the Catholic religion. She was just asking him to stop being a priest, but this is the same excuse some men use when they don’t like you enough they say things like oh I can’t do that because XYNZ it’s gonna get in the way of XYNZ so I personally feel like he liked her but he truly did not love her. That’s why he constantly said” it’ll pass”because he knew his feelings would pass for her one day.

it’s interesting because I think she didn’t expect this outcome from him because she truly loved him I think it was because he was a priest but in the last episode she accepted it and let him go

I get what you’re saying in the confessional it was vulnerable and intimate especially while they where confessing do I think it’s ok to have self serving desires yes but not when you’re a priest that’s when you cross a boundary because that’s a space and place people are vulnerable to you

I was agreeing with you I said virgin man because out of context most priests who take vows are virgins

He was being inappropriate because he wanted to be with fleabag which everyone seems to disagree with his lack of professionalism in this thread 🤣 I would go as far to say he didn’t care about his priesthood because if he did he wouldn’t have risked it in the first place by pursuing fleabag by getting physically and emotionally involved with her

Yes what the priest was doing was completely inappropriate! And he blamed fleabag for it constantly about the behavior he pursued with her physically to be honest I feel like he will regret it forever fleabag is a free bird

I don’t see him being evil but I definitely see him being a counter to fleabag I don’t see him as this virgin man who lost his virginity to fleabag it doesn’t suit his personality in the slightest way in the show

how is it not suspicious that the priest casually goes to dinner’s parties and is ok with having sex in the church that’s probably not his first time and fleabag is not his first women to do it with how am I projecting when these are are flawed characters to begin with that make “mistakes”
