Logic 103... She indicated not being happy and or things being bad between them prior to her cheating and it can be assumed that, at the very least, they both had a hand in the state of that relationship. She questioned whether or not the MC ever loved her in the first place, which indicates that on some level, she questions the MC's motives. You might try to claim I am ignoring the fact that she tries to get back with the main character, but the reality is you're ignoring all of the above JUST because she tries to get back with MC as if no one ever does things even if they're not 100% sure. Your words imply that people don't go back and forth on their feelings and or why... especially college aged people. It's as if you've never heard of someone thinking they're sure about something, but then they have a talk with someone and realize that maybe their wrong.
Charli: "If he hurt you so badly, why do you keep wanting him back?"
Emily: "I don't know. I love him. I mean our relationship wasn't all bad you know? I just... He used to hold me at night and I think about how he smelled I miss him."
Charli: "That doesn't sound like love. It sounds more like familiarity or maybe even obsession. Neither of which seems healthy or a good reason to pursue someone."
Now right or not, it would be VERY realistic if she considered his words and that's without looking at the various factors beyond her cheating. The key thing here being "right or not" as whether it's accurate or not has nothing to do with whether or not someone believes something.
My issue with the whole Emily thing if you went her route is thus...
They obviously had issues the first time round that led to the big betrayal etc..
MC forgives said betrayal, misses the girl, looks to get back together and attempt to make it work this time... only for someone else to get involved (again though with less sex this time) and for things to fall apart a second time.
So my question is this, if the relationship has gone nowhere and fallen apart so easily twice now, why would the MC go for a third time?
I haven't argued against the whole shit talk thing, devs game they can do what they want with it, i'm just struggling with the reasoning behind making one of the main love interests so unlikeable and have her be part of the main reason it keeps falling apart.
I can't be the only one now that will never have anything to do with her again.
At first it was all good. The big redemption story of how 2 lovers came back together to find love but it didn't go that way and i'm not one for trying to fix something that keeps breaking. To me that's an obvious sign it aint meant to be and it's time to move on.
I just don't get the thinking behind it. It's like the devs don't want people to like her.
