Nah i'm firmly on the side of the Robert apologists today.
HE DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO SURVIVE .
He didn't fall in love with someone else. Yes, he entered into another relationship...IN PRISON.
I'm sorry but you can't have Aaron literally going on a sex rampage when he's not even properly divorced to Robert yet, having freaking orgies and then be mad at Robert for caring about a man he had sexual relations with and married purely because he saw it as his only way to survive in there.
Aaron has been in not one, not two, but three relationships since he and Robert ended. Has had multiple one night stands. HE MARRIED ROBERTS FREAKING BROTHER. And swore to the moon and sky he'd keep choosing those relationships over Robert even if he was standing right in front of him, and guess what? With John he did exactly that. Over and over again.
And yeah Robert is lying about the marriage. But there's obviously so many factors involved when it comes to him not admitting the truth to Aaron.
1. He still hasn't even wrapped his head around it all. He's only just been released from prison and confronting the prospect of having a real life outside again as well as a future where he isn't locked in a cell? Clearly he's compartmentalising and trying to move forward without having to think about prison whatsoever.
2. We still don't know the full extent of his trauma so i'm not taking him caring for Kev to heart as we still don't the full ins and outs of that relationship.
3. Aaron is literally going through it right now, and you gotta admit that Robert telling him something like this would be the last thing he needs.
4. You can't be mad at Robert for hiding the truth about Kev whilst Aaron is literally hiding the fact that he knows exactly how John escaped. Yeah Aaron has felt the full brunt of that Trauma, but Vic and Rob didn't get off scot free and they do deserve to know that their murderous brother was aided in his escape by Aaron's family, even if it was brought on by blackmail. Like i don't blame him at all and I know he's pissed about that too, but he hasn't exactly been forthcoming with that information? And why? Because he's protecting himself and his family. Now why would Robert be lying do we possibly think?? Hmm?
There's so many moving parts to this story. We've literally heard it straight from Robert's mouth that he's in love with Aaron and he only 'cares' for Kev. Like i'm sorry, but i think we should give him some grace before we start sharpening our pitchforks again.
Sorry
Lmfao.
