I hear you. Maybe, I'm just different, and I'm cool with that. I don't do relationships like that. I can't do the tit-for-tat. If I TRULY love someone, I don't want them to hurt or feel sad, especially by me. Even if they do me wrong, I'm not looking for "revenge." I love my wife, she makes mistakes, I'm not looking to try and get one up or "get her back" I'm more of the "hold her accountable and let her know how I feel so she doesn't do it again" type. I'm trying to give her grace because I make mistakes too, I want that same grace and understanding...Love doesn't do revenge, it does forgiveness. It holds them accountable, but doesn't try to purposely make them feel pain.
I just can't justify hurting someone I "LOVE" because they hurt me, but again, that's me. I'm not talking bout no rando, I'm speaking about someone you say you love and care about. I can't absolve Jimmy that way. I can't see how because she did something foul like FT her ex that he should try to "one up" her and have her meet some chick he smashed, he had "frat brothers" I'm sure he could've introduced her to. He made her meet a friend he smashed to get back at her for talking to her ex, weird. I personally don't think he ever truly forgave her for somewhat lying about her looks...IDK that's just not "love" in my mind. Love doesn't want to see someone cry or hurt.
So I get what you saying, I'm not completely disagreeing, Chelsea was wrong for how she acted, she should be held accountable for that. Jimmy just wasn't a saint either. He wasn't completely honest if we telling the truth too. He told Jessica she was still his #1 when they were at the cook out. He told Chelsea she was his number 1 too. He gaslit and strung her along some (albeit, maybe trying to figure out if he could truly be with her) and I think it would have been more apparent had Chelsea acted like a sane woman. Again, I just don't think you do that to someone you claim you love. He got to that amusement park and finally gave it up, the whining and bickering finally made him want to stop trying; but even if they had gotten married, that wasn't gonna work long-term.
I hear you bro, you make solid points and I enjoy the perspective and conversation!
I see it slightly different but agree with some of your points.
