They're like the classic male friendship duo. Borderline retarded "playa" jock who's loyal to his friend, and the smart, educated, sensitive but slightly lacking in the physical department. Unless their friendship is zero Jeremy will not steal a girl Ian has dibs on. Ian also has (rightfully so) pretty big self-esteem problems at the start of the game considering his ex cheated on him and left him a broken mess. We have no indication of what Ian was like beforehand (And maybe Chad-ish) Ian is simply a return to the norm.
It doesn't seem like it. Ian likely was almost the same to how we are introduced at the start. Just not depressed or sad over Gillian breaking up.

After all, if the theory is true that Gillian became Mike's girlfriend, then it's likely because Mike was more 'masculine' than Ian was and was more exciting to be around. Whereas Ian is the safe but 'boring' option. (Meaning the guy you settle down with, Mike's more the guy you have a ton of fun with)

Mike explained this update that he and his girlfriend were interested in each other in high school, but it never came to something, so when they met later, their feelings were reignited.

I don't have the impression Gillian cares about the physical aspects and expectations of being a man, usually the men are the ones who worry too much about that. She seems fairly sensible and emphatic, so my guess is she sensed Ian being not content with himself and Gillian and she was overwhelmed with her reignited feelings towards Mike herself.

Sorry if I'm out of the loop, but does this upcoming party advancement is supposed to come out soon or should we expect standard wait time between big updates? If so it would be very anticlimactic. Also... has there been any indication if the rest of party will be only Lena POV or will there be Ian POV too? (even if he is just back home)

Very fun and dandy to make plot armored back story be the scripted cheat for a nobody to swoop in and take your lade, because women are so lost when you first meet them and they hang in there in limbo until you swoop in to save them some more.

Such great total dissonance to Ian and his painstakingly brutal battle uphill with Jaremy to reunite with his high school sweetheart, Alison ... so sure, enjoy your adornment of made-up plot armor off-screen when it comes to tropes and linear ,uninteresting, bland and off-putting characters, while you enjoy dumping on our protagonists.
Enjoy!

"Brutal uphill battle with Jeremy."

"Hey Ian, would you mind if i hooked up with Alison?"
"Honestly man, i'd prefer you don't."
"OK mate, she's all yours."

The brutality, it's off the charts. :whistle:

Um...What on earth are you talking about...? I feel like you have me confused with someone else.

Yes, Gillian is so sensible and empathetic she detected deep insecurity within Ian that even the dev didn't care to expand on, she then cheated on him, actually creating deep rooted insecurity within him, with Mike, the guy who ended up cheating on her with a 9-5 consistency.

She truly has the makings of a A-class Empath, I'm excited for the next update when she'll start moving objects with her mind.

She sounds like she turned 32 and learned empathy. Astonishing. (le joke)

Seriously speaking though, I think Gillian is simply one of those girls who herself did not know what she wanted and maybe felt insecure about wanting to date Ian in the first place. And because she realised that they weren't as compatible as she thought, at some point, she started to grow out of love.

Who knows honestly, I feel like things will be more explained in the near future with Gillian. Especially if Ian decides to reconnect with her.

It's pretty interesting that in this update when Mike talks about his gf with Lena, he opens up that he kinda hates not being able to stick to the relationship he's wanted for a long time, and Lena seemingly has options to give him a push towards either fooling around or "manning up" (whether this means a break up or giving up on cheating remains to be seen) It may turn out to be basically nothing like Ian trying to help Wade, but maybe it'll have some impact.
