Givin' ya'll the reactions you never asked

[Therese @treadingthrough]

With our

[Therese @treadingthrough]

because i couldn't bear the thought of making my partner miserable because he wiuld only feel suffocated withour relationship

[Therese @treadingthrough]

For me. If my partner doesn't love me anymore i guess, i would choose to set him free

[Therese @treadingthrough]

The latter would just hurt and it would suck big time.

[Therese @treadingthrough]

The three questions she asked her husband about the necklace got to me as well. 1) if he just gave the gift 2) gift+sex or 3) gift + love

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Because you can't bare the responsibility of making your kid's life hell. Being born to a broken fam would just suck

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Another risk one has to face when they do get married is when they have kids and the need for separation would just feel strong but you cant

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Karen is the one person everyone depended on. She has such a cheery attitude that ppl might assume nothing's wrong with her or her marriage

[Therese @treadingthrough]

The only upperhand advantage you might feel would only be the history you had with your partner, aside from that, you're kapeesh

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Because you aren't on the same playing grounds anymore

[Therese @treadingthrough]

And they might feel that get lit up by someone prettier, sexier, more fun to be with and just MORE! BETTER! And you just can't compete

[Therese @treadingthrough]

It shows us how love could get sour in the long run. Our partners might not feel the burning passion they used to feel

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Karen's arc, probably one of the arcs that was given the most air time was just heartbreaking

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Overall, LOVE ACTUALLY SHOWS US THAT SOME PEOPLE WIN SOME AND SOME PEOPLE LOSE SOME.

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Lemme make a separate thread for her arc later

[Therese @treadingthrough]

Karen's arc was also one of my faves.

[Therese @treadingthrough]

I also liked liam neeson's arc because it showed fatherly love. I'm really weak when it comes to family byw

[Therese @treadingthrough]

It also helps that rodrigo santoro is such a hottie 😍

[Therese @treadingthrough]

And by preemptive rights (chess) we just couldn't give as much love to others as we give to our family

[Therese @treadingthrough]

She also places her family first and i guess we just couldn't choose to let go because they have always been there from the start
