it really annoys me when people say, "I love dickkory, but it's better for them to be exes/this relationship wouldn't last long because they don't let Kory live the way she wants." well.. how exactly, for example? how did this relationship hold her back? did Dick forbid her to do what she wanted? or do you mean their conflict over the murders? Dick was supportive of Kory and always gave her freedom, even when it came to issues where their opinions differed. he literally left her on Tamaran after her wedding because he thought she wanted it. is that how he's holding her back?
"he would never accept her culture" what makes you think that??
why do people absolutely deny the development of a relationship? why don't people think that Dick and Kory would have changed in their future relationship? for ourselves and for each other. no one stands still, especially in a relationship, especially like Dick and Kory's, because they've ALREADY changed. they both made mistakes in this relationship, and almost always after a while (usually not for long) they realized these mistakes, admitted them and apologized. and they really didn't do that anymore.
Dick and Kory's relationship has always been about overcoming difficulties and making positive changes for each other. they changed, they made mistakes and admitted mistakes, they got better, both of them. so why do people think that if they continued the relationship, they would stop developing?
