i donât get how this opinion is so underrated, but i strongly dislike rafael. heâs selfish, impulsive, reckless and incredibly self-centered. i also strongly dislike jafael because of how toxic they are and because of the actual lack of development they have. i mean, sure, in the s4 finale jane told rafael that heâs âit for her, foreverâ and she did tell him that she loved him at one point in the season but come on, thatâs not love???? rafael mightâve encouraged her as a writer but their relationship is solely based on sex and physical attraction. also, jane NEVER wouldâve went back to rafael if michael hadnât died. she made it absolutely clear that michael is the love of her life. i mean, she chose him and she would choose him again: theyâre married ffs and the life jane wanted was with michael, not rafael, even though heâs the father of her child and even though she couldâve brought to life rafaelâs sick obsession of a âperfect familyâ. she saw that michael deeply cared for mateo and that he would do an amazing job at being his stepfather, and, even if it wasnât the idea of a family she used to have and as flawed as it might be, itâs her family. +++ rafael learned that michael was still alive a day or a few days before actually telling jane. he waited to tell her, he had fucking sex with her and let her have this idea of a mariage with him while he knew her husband was still alive. now, the writers mightâve only brought michael back to fulfill their jafael endgame but honestly thatâd just be shitty writing. michael and janeâs love story was beautiful, and michael is the one who took care of her, whoâs always been there for her. he waited to have sex with her until they were married, he respected her choices and decided to stay by her side even though she was carrying another manâs baby because michael loved (loves) jane unconditionally. michael also asked alba to help him learn his wedding vows in spanish because he respects and loves janeâs culture and family. what can you ask more? when rafael proposed to jane, it was only after a few months of dating, in public, without consulting her about her future and without consulting her family. sure, it was romantic, but incredibly reckless. frankly, rafael is a dick and jane deserves much better.
