Mackenzie is wild. He literally just met Robert recently and he will literally put his life on the line multiple times to ensure Robron are endgame. Bro literally was laying on his deathbed taunting a psychopath, saying shit like “you can kill me, you can do whatever you want, but no matter what you do, Robert and Aaron will always end up together.” He’s just like me for real. Man’s got his priorities and I respect it.

Here's what's truly delicious to me:

Aaron, at this point, clearly didn't marry John out of love. He did it out of spite. Out of spite for Robert. Out of spite for their families. Hell, even out of spite of John, and himself. Between their soulmatism, and John's malicious murderous BS boiling up, he's going to be gagging for Affair Era: The Redux by the time Robert gets back out.

Here it is, the end of I'm Yours. Thank you for reading. I don't know if I'll write anything again, but it was a lot of fun. First time doing anything like this.

I can't thank the person behind me doing this in the first place Tina (@drawlallvowels) without you, I never would have done it, you helped me through so many tough parts/writers block - means the world to me. Love you!!!

Well enjoy.

Robert Sugdens idiot since 2014 

[yeah-sure-amanda]

I’m posting something positive here because my dash is so negative I feel like I can’t breathe. 

Robert Sugden went from hiding who he really is to please a father who was never going to accept him, lying, cheating and stealing to survive to someone who is truly in love for the first time, understands who is he is and isn’t afraid of it and is trying to be a better human being for himself and Aaron Dingle (his beautiful husband who he can’t stop loving even if he tried). 

There is nothing that can be written to change that.  That is fact. That is canon. Take comfort in those facts as we go forward into this current storyline. Regardless what is inferred by people trying to bring the couple down never doubt that Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle love each other. For Robert is always in Aarons heart and Aaron is someone Robert can only see loving for the rest of his life.

I know it's a soap and they need storylines full of drama to keep fans "hooked" However what is wrong showing two people sticking by their vows and having a "happy" marriage without cheating. I would of personally like to seen -them two working through Aaron's mental issues - talked as a couple about Roberts struggle - getting the Mill ready together - sorting Liv out. Just seems a weak and re hashed storyline with no longevity. So where do they go from here. -Aaron and Robert come back - Aaron finds out _ Robert and Aaron split up? - Aaron donates his sperm to adam and Victoria - which means there will be two children belonging to Aaron and Robert raised in the village with other people. - Robert didn't actually sleep with her?? So many questions and does not help they are not back till next month!!

I would honestly love if they used this sl as an opportunity for Aaron to grow and be understanding for once instead of just attacking Robert for everything he does. Even if that means they need to break up while Kev is around, if he can do it for the purpose of giving Robert space to deal with this, and not for the purpose of punishing Robert, that would be growth in my eyes. Robert has been on probation in their relationship consistently since 2016 and Aaron hardly ever gives him any grace. This is an opportunity for Aaron to show Robert that he’s capable of that now and that he wants to respect him and his feelings, not just reprimand him constantly. Especially when Aaron has put Robert in some pretty shitty positions lately while he was with John, who he’s also still married to.

The way Robert looks away and doesn’t know how to answer when Aaron asks if he’s been crying at the hospital is so painful to watch.

He’s looks shameful, but also worried and scared and like he’s trying to hide all that from Aaron while just pleading for someone to just give him the space to deal with all this, even if it’s on his own. He clearly just wants a break from all the pressure coming at him from all the people in his life who don’t hardly know the first thing about the situation and are constantly reducing it to a black and white crossroads.

He’s not an emotionless husk or a scheming liar anymore. He’s been through 6 years of straight trauma and Kev is the only person who ACTUALLY understands any of that (as much as Aaron says he does, he doesn’t). They’re trauma bonded in a way that’s deeper than just getting out, moving on, and collecting the check when Kev dies. There’s obviously a reason Kev is leaving everything to Robert. He wants to know that the one person he loves and cares for the most is looked after when he’s gone. And Robert doesn’t want this man who’s implied to have sacrificed a lot for him, to die alone and heartbroken. And that type of care doesn’t just spawn out of nowhere. They’ve been through a lot together, and it says a lot about their dynamic, the way they both are still looking out for eachother.

Their lives existed together for six years completely separate from emmerdale village and anyone in it. Robert had no one but Kev. Kev had no one but Robert. They spent over 2000 nights alone in that cell, with nothing to do but get closer. Even if he’s not in love with him anymore, that’s huge. People in the fandom like to forget this but Robert IS a human being, and his feelings and actions towards Kev are extremely human given their history.

He clearly cares for Kev in a way that no one else gets and he’s not just gonna check his teeth in the mirror while Kev dies in the background, like he did with Lawrence, years ago.

Robert coming face to face with Kevs mortality today, and knowing that he will lose him for good sooner rather than later, has gotta be a harrowing and conflicting thing to come to terms with.

So seeing him falling apart about it, trying to be strong for Kev, and then not having the strength to stop crying but clearly feeling like he can’t look Aaron in the eyes and give him a straight answer about why he could possibly be crying, is so sad. No one in his life is a safe space right now, not entirely at least. Bcuz they all seem to think that he just went away live abroad for 6 years and nothing about him is different now.

People on here have already said this but I’m saying it again, Aaron does not in any capacity understand what Robert’s life has been like for the past six years, and Kev does. Robert loves Aaron more than anything but he’s a completely different person now and it’s gonna take a while for him and Aaron to get to know each other again after they’ve lived what feels like a lifetime of trauma without each other. Robert can’t offer Aaron what he used to be able to. That unconditional support and comfort, isn’t something he has the strength give right now. This is the least clued into each others lives they’ve been since 2014. And if Aaron wants to truly be with Robert he needs to stop talking and listen for a change, cuz he doesn’t understand, and Robert deserves the chance to explain, seeing as no one in this entire village experienced even a second of his time inside, and no one in this village knows Kev either, or how meeting Robert might’ve changed his life.

Also not even that long ago Robert was begging Aaron to tell John about them too, and he couldn’t do it either. In fact he told Robert over and over to forget it, and to leave him and John alone after sleeping with him and basically acting like he wanted to be with Robert instead. Aaron is human too and I understand that he feels blindsided after Robert ‘chased him for months’ but Aaron also strung Robert along multiple times since he returned, and still stayed with John right in front of his face. And he wasn’t going to Robert reassuring him that “he’s the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with” the way Robert is trying to do. At least Robert is making an effort to fully explain himself instead of doing what aaron did: stringing Robert along and then running away from his feelings, leaving him to pick up the pieces and figure out why he’s never enough to stick around for.
