I mean apparently they were a dream couple until ~5-7 years into the marriage. These are a lot of good memories, expieriences, storys, passion shared. They shared 1/3 of their life together after all and and it was probably the most defining part of their lifes so far.Yikes. Now I'm really worried Allison's path is going to be about the MC and Allison reigniting their original passion rather than learning to communicate and starting a new relationship from scratch. The latter *might* actually work, the former would be every bit as doomed as it was last time.![]()
Imo its fine to reignite the original passion if they add their newfound experiences/perspectives to it. Jake kinda changed/reverted back into a improved version of the guy she did fall in love with.
And lets be honest, they did got married waaaaaaaaaay too young (at least for Jake), the break giving him opportunitys to experience single life and freedom.
But if he gets that taste (single, sex, different women, freedom) and realises that he would prefer to have his family back, i would say that a huge learning experience and shift of perspective. No more fear of missing out.
The renders of the dialogue with Nat are not about sex by the way, Natalya tries to explain Jake that Allison doesnt dislike him at all which he struggles to believe.
