You got everything wrong.
He told her he wants a threesome with another girl. When he was in Sunshine Bay he was talking to Nicole about all the girls he's met. Nicole talked to her sister and was scared he was going to meet someone else and Georgina suggested she cheat which she turned down.
They have spent months arguing and she's trying to find a way to restore peace.
She suggested the open relationship after talking to her client and her client saying it could have saved her marriage so she thinks giving him the option might save their relationship.
In no way does she come across as unhappy.
Because no guy ever in the history of ever has never thought about a threesome....*rolls eyes so hard they fall out of my skull*
But again..he told her. Didn't demand it. Didn't do it...he ain't some slut evil male patriach demon you realise? You do understand that yes? So he told her about the people in the bay? So what? That not be a normal thing to do when talking to your partner? She is the one who gets the problem. She talks to her sister....great advice from her sister. Does she instantly demonize her sister? No...she eventually mulls the idea over in her head...especially after talking to her client. It's the most illogical and dumb idea since the inception of illogical and dumb ideas and completely out of what appears to be her character. She is also the one with all the insecurities and the one who wants the MC to be something he will probably never be (hence the arguments). Again, get over yourself on her. Open your eyes on exactly how she reacts the day he loses his job. That is pure belittlement, control and only caring about herself and being materialistic. Sure I get she doesn't want to lose her home,as the most intelligent of the two, maybe like many people in the world who whine about being broke at the end of every month, she should have thought about that before getting a mortgage they, in reality, can't actually afford.
There is only one person half-committed to that relationship...in a 'loving romantic' way....and it sure as hell is not Nicole. She cares about appearances and material irelevent shit. She offers the break. And this may upset some folk, but people who offer 'breaks' (and it's usually men I'll admit) offer them so they can do something with someone else with a clear concience yet keep their safety net and familar surroundings, which is also bull and shows how little they really thought of the relationship in the first place. May as well just break up and end it there and then.
Bottom line is this. There are many heated arguments around these different threads regarding some characters/plots. Some, and I mean some, are because of how well written a character and their development is/are.
Most, like Nicole (currently), are because of terribly bad writing.
Except the 3some was in his dream and Nicole got all pissy about it and didn't even want to talk about. I could be wrong, but I don't recall him saying he wanted one, only what happened in the dream. Also from the writing, all the fights seem to be because she's not happy that he's not doing well enough, ambitious enough etc.
All the fights and pressure are because her dreams are not coming true. To me, she came across as a frigid bitch that only put out when she got what she wanted or she was in the mood, without any thoughts for his happiness and enjoyment. Seemed like any time he wanted to talk about what he wanted in the bedroom she shot him down with I'm too busy, or not the right time, or I don't want to talk about it. Again that's the impression I got of her from the start, long before he got the call from the sister or even lost his job. That she is cold and uncaring and as long as she gets what she wants out the relationship it's ok.
Maybe she does really love him and is wanting the best for him, but if so she just doesn't know how to show it.
This one again. Her, her, her. Everything he seems to have done, is to appease her. She is not a bad person, not evil, she just needs someone with her drive and ambition. She thought she could change him, that was her first mistake. It breeds resentment. He will never be, what she aspires him to be. As for loving him, I'm sure she does yes. as for wanting what's best for him, well, many couples have had a divide of exactly what that means. To me (from what I see of his character), the best thing for him is to be with someone who accepts who he is, which is nothing like I imagine the person Nicole wants him to be. Again, alluding to the fact the other LI's are written to be likeable and would accept him as he is.
I enjoyed the update. One of my favorite games right now. I think all the criticism is overblown. Excited to see where the story goes.
I will say that the option to deny the open relationship and do a Nicole-faithful route doesn’t make too much sense. The game updates aren’t conducive to that unless they are planning lewd content for Nicole every update (highly doubt).
IMO it would have made more sense to have the choices be...
-Option A: open relationship as is included in the game, and
-Option B: MC is hurt by the open relationship proposal, ends the call mulling things over, and breaks up in the following update.
But again, I’m more than okay with playing the game that the MrDots team wants to make. Looking forward to more!
That would have made much more sense and have been much better writing I agree.
