Oh! Let me count the ways! The guys is an immature, self-righteous moron who regularly wields hjs self-perceived inadequacies as a weapon against Zoe.
She’s not perfect, it’s true. But this is about Wade and the fact that Zoe constantly has to be the one to go to lengths to ‘understand’ him - a grown man - and to make internal excuses to justify his abysmal communication skills; and it’s SO infuriating.
It’s HIS job, as an adult, to understand, and resolve or accept, his flaws. Yet the show makes it seem like it’s okay that he essentially, underhandedly, bullies Zoe into accepting him, warts and all, because if she doesn’t, it means she’s a bad person???
Yes, this is also maybe a symptom of the times. But I am angry about it NOW lol. I went searching for some reassurance that they don’t end up together; you can guess how that went.
My favourite pastime during their scenes is imagining what their life would look like post-divorce 🥰happy to hear your additions!
