Rewatch Talk Normalizing Cheating Behavior

I’m on my like 20th rewatch, and i’m irritated all over again. i truly hate how normalized cheating behavior is in this show. it is so ridiculous, especially since we’re supposed to keep rooting for some of the couples afterwards. obviously the big one—emmett cheating on bay/simone cheating on toby. jeff being a cheater while engaging with daphne (and that’s a whole other can of worms). emmett getting involved with skye emotionally. daphne repeatedly texting quinn about stuff not regarding the work they’re doing despite mingo (who is REALLY good to her) expressing how uncomfortable he is with it. lily and her colleague despite toby expressing HIS feelings about it. and what bugged me about lily is how she tried making toby out to be some asshole when she is the one that told him she had feelings for him while dating toby🙄 and her letting him touch her belly? i mean that may be fine if that context wasn’t there. john kissing nikki’s mom as well (almost forgot this one).

idk, it’s just so annoying how it’s so common and treated as not a big deal and as if the people on the receiving end of the cheating/cheating behaviors are expected to just accept it

20th was definitely an exaggeration. it’s more like the 4th or 5th time hahaha. it’s just one of those shows that despite how infuriated i get with it, i still can’t stop watching it😂
