Still Team Julie.....

And I have to say that if I were Aidan, I would not be laughing, had I found out Sam had a boyfriend. I would feel I had been fucked-over TWICE, by Julie and Sam. My life would be in the shitter for a while, believing "I sure can pick 'em!"

And as far as Caroline is concerned, wow, what a cunt! She judges who is good enough for her sister by his success, not by how good a person he is and how well he treats her sister, or if they love each other. Oh, NOW he's a good guy, now that he's successful! I can only wonder what kind of family Aidan and Kevin came from, when they are both such patsys for sluts.

The old boyfriend information was a surprise. Not sure if there’s a valid excuse for what she did but I’m still rooting for Sam.

Seriously, the Character Aidan would be a brainless fool if he reconciles with Julie. She has shown herself to be untrustworthy and feckless. Why live your life wondering not if, but when she will betray you again. Why take the chance on a terrible bet that is almost a sure loser. There would be nothing in the least bit romantic by getting back with Julie. Quite the opposite, it would show Aidan to be a fool. Some say love is blind. Perhaps. Some say love makes you stupid, Well sometimes. Yet no matter how stupid in love you may find yourself, if you have any spine and any self esteem, you would not put up with repeated betrayal.

As for Caroline, he let her off the hook much to easily and his brother Kevin needs to grow a pair of stones. Finally what is the deal with Caroline and Kevins complete support for Julie???

Aiden must be mentally unwell, a pathological masochist to allow himsel to be used by his disloyal brother and Kevin's conniving slut wife, even more so if he gets entangled with the treacherous slapper Julie.

One converstion, one single meeting is all that should be neccessary to put the slut right. No entanglements. No meetings and no dates.

I can sense the rhythm of the developing story here but please don't try to force the narrative. Aiden has been drifting with events, reacting to changes. The Sam event was the only time he was even slightly proactive in leading the plot. Unless it is discovered he is some sort of borderline depressive personality, so long as he allows others to dictate his future even when he recognises their manipulation (in the case of Kevin and the bitch), or even worse allows himself to be manoeuvred into taking back the slut, the character will be sacrificing a readers empathy for a reader's contempt.

This is and has been a great story. It would be very dissappointing if the internal logic and consistancy of the believeable human reactions thus established were thrown aside simply to add pathos. One bitten, twice shy. It's a simple idiom but there is ample reason why it is still in use. A normal, rational man like Aiden seems to have precious little reason to ignore it now.

Kevin and Caroline appeared. Dropped a star with that new asshattery.

When someone has a giving nature people cannot help but take advantage of him. Especially when the lack common moral fibre.

Carroline changes her opinion of him after he becomes a successful businessman. Glad he suspected dastardly doings where she and her weak-kneed hubbie.

Keep up the good writing, am thoroughly enjoying the poor sods unlove life.

If he goes back to Julie then we all be very disappointed. But then tension make the story always much more interesting. That Caroline is pure poison.
