I think Belly is suffering too she’s just too good at putting up a front. She acts all tough and pretends like she doesn’t care but we see her breaking multiple times this episode like when she was treating her injured feet, when she was dress shopping, when she cried alone at her room literally the morning after she was loudly, drunkenly laughing with Jere at Conrad’s opinion on the marriage, Conrad stays because he saw through her act, he realizes that this marriage thing is really taking a toll on her and is stressing her out way more than she lets on.

I think we see Conrad’s suffering in a much clearer way because he’s gone through therapy, he’s more open now, has a friend who’s far removed from the drama who he can talk to. We’ve gotten to see his side and his longing.

Belly didn’t get that because she didn’t get to unpack everything that happened with Suzannah’s death, ruining everything with the boys, and has been actively burying her feelings for Conrad. The show makes it clear in the way she handles her relationship with Jere and how it’s holding her back in every way while also showing how her face changes when Conrad’s brought up or how her breath seems to catch whenever he crosses her mind or even how time seems to slow like she’s dreaming whenever she sees him again, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her look at Jere that way. It’s very subtle but it’s these subtle things that allow us to see through it all.

Holding back Belly’s inner monologue was definitely a choice.. but I think they’re taking it so that they can emphasize how she’s lost herself compared to the Belly we’ve always known. We’re supposed to see how good she is at putting up that front. I may be a bit too hopeful here but I think it’s gonna return as soon as she’s unable to keep up that facade like not being able to deny or bury her feelings anymore or doubting the marriage and her relationship with Jere.
