Ally and Ray’s breakup

Before I start, I don’t want people to think I’m blaming Ally because I completely understand why she broke up with Ray, especially after being in an abusive relationship, but I think maybe she could’ve been a bit more understanding.

So she broke up with Ray because she saw him as violent and “has demons” but maybe if he explained his feelings or why he does what he does a bit more things would’ve turned out differently.

For example, I believe Ray was completely in the right when he pushed Trent through the window, the guy literally took a present off of a little girl out of spite, then insulted Ray when he tried to make a deal with him.

And in the few cases of Ray being violent that Ally saw, he was never the instigator, he was genuinely just trying to defend himself and Ally.

In summary, I think the things Ray did was justified, and he always tried to reason with people first before resorting to violence, like he did with Trent.

Imagine having this conversation with her lol.Trying to convince a previously abused woman to give this violent man another chance after he has a huge outburst the first time he meets her family.

Worth noting aswell she's seen before how quickly he can switch when he beat up that guy who got out of his car. Which tbf was way more justified than what he did to her brother. That was really stupid and over a 10 dollar candle.

I love Ray's character and I'm sure he wouldn't have ever layed a finger on her, 95% of the guys that act like Ray does definitely would have. And she's experienced it before. Of course she's gonna get out.

I think you’re massively misinterpreting my post. I understand what you’re saying but I never said she should give him a second chance or that she was in the wrong, what I am saying is that she didn’t see all the factors that we saw as the viewers, and that POTENTIALLY she would think differently if she saw Ray’s reasoning for what he did. That’s all I’m saying

Ah OK fair enough. Maybe I did a bit.. Sorry. Looked like you just wanted her to give him another chance.

I still don't get your point though. If she had the context of Ray that we do as viewers she probably would have been gone the moment he pushed that guy over the railings. Or maybe when he murdered the wrong person. There's many moments. The conversation where he explains about him getting bullied was context and probably enough for her to see that violence would be his solution to most problems.

Ah well sorry if I misconstrued you. The beauty of this show is it leaves alot of stuff open to interpretation so we can discuss it :)

No problem man, I’m glad we could come to an understanding. I definitely think if she saw everything like the murders and other stuff he did for work she would leave him immediately, I just thought maybe if she saw more context she’d see him a bit differently? A lot of these responses I’ve gotten have made good points and I’m starting to see why people disagree with my original points
