I was so surprised I had to check the comment section to find out other people's reactions!What a pleasant surprise that the cad who broke the engagement is actually not a cliche-ish evil idiot. And he is actually quite wise for an idiot.
Yeah, it's quite nice to see the guy who broke the engagement, honestly admit that he is and was a fool and also be supportive of her finding love.What a pleasant surprise that the cad who broke the engagement is actually not a cliche-ish evil idiot. And he is actually quite wise for an idiot.
Right? He's the dumb in head but smart of heart kind of guy and I love him for it. Social intelligence is all that his head is good for but man is he good at it.@hanfeizi , @GipoScribantino , @TechnicsMan
It's certainly refreshing that the ex-fiancee didn't dump her because he couldn't appreciate her at her worth. If anything, he undervalues himself. He may call himself a fool (not without reason), but even as an adolescent he was clearheaded enough to see that their marriage would make both of them miserable
and he's insightful enough to realize his own flaws and appreciate how his wife's skills neutralize them.
I'm curious to see how this will continue, since the author doesn't seem to be using the milk-a-misunderstanding-for-all-it's-worth-and-then-keep-milking-it-some-more strategy.
He was also a child at the time, so he may not realize yet that a lot of problems can be resolved better by merely talking.Right? He's the dumb in head but smart of heart kind of guy and I love him for it. Social intelligence is all that his head is good for but man is he good at it.
In a world without arranged marriages and a strong stigma towards breaking engagements he seems like he'd explain it better before breaking up... But eh, as clumsy as his method was there weren’t many better ones.
I love how they’re like those old heckling muppets but they direct their rudeness purely at themselves. And I was surprised that his wife was good-natured enough to not take "I chose you over her because I'm a fool" personally. They really are the perfect match.
