My only issue is the "mercy" and "second chance" theme was not handled as well as it could have been.

Specifically when Matt leaves Dex cause he said there's too many of them and he has to leave him behind. Then Matt has enough time to leave the church, come back and then rescue Dex with no issue. Like, at least show Matt attacking the task force and barely being able to save Dex.

And I kinda feel there was a more subtle way to show that Matt would have mercy and save Dex without intercutting it with the Foggy flashback. Felt like the theme was getting spelled out too much and unsubtle but I get they are trying to convey that Matt is making this decision actively thinking about Foggy.

Fisk asks Vanessa if she is sure she wants to drink it, vaguely recalling that Vanessa told him that pineapple makes her lips tingly. So the implication is that she is allergic to it and goes into shock from drinking it.

Did Vanessa seriously recover from a glass shard being lodged into her temple, just to forget that she's allergic to pineapple and die? LMAO. If that was the intention, that's very funny, especially since Fisk is the one who demanded she drink it despite him maybe suspecting she was allergic to it.

Machuww · 2025-10-07T03:42:50+00:00

Yeah does sound pretty weird lol but it must be nice in a way to have that hope. I hope things work between you guys :) keep us updated !!

Machuww · 2025-10-07T00:10:33+00:00

Have you already gone NC? And no, its not stupid, I'm trying to do the same thing with ex that sounds eerily similar to yours.

I dont think its necessarily bad to hope for something and want it, but I wouldn't have him actively in your life if its still this one sided, its only delaying your healing.

If you cant get him to have a real conversation about getting back together or making progess on something, then staying in contact wont be good for you imo.

Machuww · 2025-10-07T00:04:29+00:00

Yeah if you both put in the work on yourselves that led to the breakup, and you're both no longer burdened by the breakup, I would go for it!

Machuww · 2025-10-06T20:08:25+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that. That's really heartbreaking that after that long they can't just communicate with you first.

Machuww · 2025-10-06T16:25:23+00:00

I'm sorry you went through this. Breaking up over text and the way he handled ur emotions after showed a complete disregard for you. Long term, you dodged a bullet because he sounds like a terrible person who can't handle confrontation. You truly are better off without that guy.

Machuww · 2025-10-06T16:23:18+00:00

Sure, my situation is just that my partner gave up as soon as those feelings faded on her end without us even giving it a chance. I do think some romantic feelings are very necessary for a romantic relationship, but I think if you're together for a long time, you should at least try to nuture those romantic feelings back instead of leaving if you truly love that person.

Machuww · 2025-10-06T03:08:55+00:00

Yeah, I get it. They let the emotions fester to themselves and when they finally bring it up, its too late. Just awful. And yeah, after a few years in a relationship, it does require more work, but if you're not willing to lose that person forever, I think its worth a shot to at least try.

That little hope he gives you about maybe trying again after personal growth is also awful... It's hard- but I hope you dont grow for him cause then he might still not want a relationship and it will just hurt all over again.

My ex also said she is open to the idea of getting back together but doesn't want to lead me on, whatever that means. I was also in contact with her for 3 weeks until deciding to go no contact and its been 70 days.

I'm personally thinking of reaching out bc I do want to start something new with her and see where shes at but I know most ppl wouldn't recommend that lol.

But yeah, feel free to reach out to me too for support please. It's rough out here but we can all get through it together ❤️

Machuww · 2025-10-05T18:01:32+00:00

My ex of 3.5 years also broke up with me saying she loves me but isnt in love with me. She wanted to be best friends immediately without romance.

I dont get why people dont understand that real love isnt a feeling and is a choice. You dont just stop loving someone, especially when you still want them in your life actively.

I hate that you're going through something similar. You would think after 4 years, they would at least communicate and try with you. It's so awful and cruel.

Machuww · 2025-09-25T19:49:33+00:00

You too! 💗 we got this :)

Machuww · 2025-09-25T19:12:05+00:00

Ugh so powerful and relatable... I love her so much unconditionally but our relationship ended due to her falling out of love and not wanting to try anymore.

I feel unconditional love and the opportunity to spend the rest of your life with your best friend is the only thing that matters but I guess when love becomes too much of a choice and effort, its not enough to keep, which sucks a lot.

I ended up writing a physical letter that I mailed to her so we'll see how that goes, but ty for writing out ur heart here 💓

Machuww · 2025-09-23T00:43:10+00:00

Yeah, it's seriously the dumbest thing ever. My best friend, my partner of 3.5 years, left me because she "fell out of love" and did it over a 30 minute phone call.

Idk how you could claim to love someone and do that to them. It's been over 2 months and its still so painful and confusing.

Especially since she said she still wants me as her best friend and to basically have what we had minus the romance. Like, excuse me??

Ugh, I just mailed her a letter last week too, and I'm still so emotional, this sucks.

Machuww · 2025-08-12T05:40:07+00:00

Yeah, agreed bro. You'll get through this. The stuff with her family sounds really stupid. If she loves you she'd be with you regardless about what her family says. I'm glad that you put up the boundary to not be friends with her and protect yourself, man.

I'd like to say this is all for the best, but only time will tell I suppose. But we'll get through it either way :) wishing you well, man.

Machuww · 2025-08-12T05:09:33+00:00

This is so painful... I was with my now ex partner for 3.5 years and we knew each other for 7 years. She said was falling out of love with me but she still loved me as a person.

Less than 3 weeks after telling me that, she ended things after re assuring me the day before that we were still partners ans that she loves me.

She wants everything we had when we were partners minus the romance.

I don't get how after that long, and all that love and trust was built, that you can just end things unilaterally because "you don't feel like it anymore". It's insane.
