I get what you're saying about Robert and I don't think he's good for Aaron either but when you think about it this is no worse than how Aaron treated Jackson (and that ended up much worse because he basically ruined his whole life) so idk the way people are treating Aaron like a little angel who never does anything wrong is kinda ehh :/
OKAY. HELLO. AARON IS MY BABY SO I MIGHT GET A WEE BIT DEFENSIVE. BUT OKAY. HERE GOES.
1. This is worse than how Aaron treated Jackson because Aaron isn’t a cheater. The night of the train accident Aaron had been preoccupied with the man who killed his dog and almost went after him after seeing him out in town. Jackson begged him not to, and he didn’t. But they still fought. And when they stopped to talk about love, and Aaron said he couldn’t be sure if he loved Jackson or not(which was nothing more than childish, naive and inexperienced insecurity - nothing to condemn him for), they pretty much broke each other’s hearts. But the train accident was not Aaron’s fault. Okay if you think he “ruined his whole life”, but he did all he could to keep Jackson alive and take care of him until he couldn’t anymore.
2. Aaron is not manipulative. He’s more often than not a bumbling, naive fool who does a lot of stupid things and likes to think he’s a tough guy. And he is tough, but he is also sensitive and humble and always regrets it when he does something that’s intrinsically wrong. His moral struggle with what to do about Rob and the wedding is enough to prove that. But he’s not perfect. He is not a little angel. But he isn’t cold. He can’t turn off his feelings the way Rob does when it fits him. Aaron’s mistakes are nearly always rooted in strong emotion.
This is worse than how Aaron treated Jackson because from what I saw of Rob tonight, he’s selfish. Extremely so. Aaron helped his boyfriend commit suicide. He is not selfish.
And also, what do you think Rob would have done to Katie if she hadn’t fallen through the floor and died? You think he would have just let her go, unscathed? Evidence suggests otherwise.
