you knew exactly who to go for.
implied that amy only passed her road test because she wore a short skirt and the driver was ogling her lmao mocks and belittles her at every opportunity in general, actually
outright informs amy that he loves her more than she loves him
jealous of amy’s relationship with the doctor to the point that the doctor is accustomed to asking permission to hug her, because amy is an object to be constantly passed back and forth between them like two children fighting over a toy and not a fully autonomous human being free to make her own choices
has proved on multiple occasions that he’s well aware amy has doubts about marrying him and settling down with him and retiring from traveling with the doctor but continues to expect all of these concessions from her because he’s so insecure about the stability of their relationship he has a nervous breakdown every time amy expresses any opinions independent of him
views their relationship as a points system and one at which he will always inherently be winning because he “waited” for her, even though a) the doctor told him not to and said amy would be fine without him and b) amy was unconscious and didn’t ask and c) he canonically doesn’t even remember any of it, but guess how often rory wants to discuss amy’s very real and very much remembered traumatic pregnancy, abduction and loss of her child? never
quoting myself because i was right about this the first time: the entire foundation of rory’s relationship with amy is a lie he tells himself to feel better; he pretends amy is happy because amy makes him happy. rory is “humble and unassuming” only because it benefits him to appease amy without ever attempting to understand amy and her emotions on a deeper level. rory doesn’t want to acknowledge amy’s feelings in any meaningful way–because rory, unlike amy, is eager to forget the doctor (even if only subconsciously) because he associates eleven with his insecurities, and feels more confident when his role as the most important man in amy’s life goes unchallenged. he frequently gives amy these noncommittal, vaguely agreeable answers because it discourages her from pursuing complex emotions that don’t involve him/or that he can’t access equally, while at the same time appearing to vindicate her. it’s just this endless dance, in which rory plays the role of loving husband while in reality only wanting to validate himself and his importance to amy, and to advance his vision of a “perfect life” with her in a way that rarely takes amy’s own wants and needs into account.
also i will never forgive him for being the reason amy dies in angels take manhattan, and i will never forgive him for “amelia williams” on her headstone. rory williams ROT
