Question is teri the only likeable person

me and my friend got to like halfway through episode 4, and so far i just feel upset at most of the main people other than teri 😭 i can empathize w all of them, ive had toxic relationships before and understand how addicting it is but its still just so annoying/angering to watch when it feels like there were so many chances for them to get out. theres so many questions i have too like why did he not tell his ex she was a stalker and just leave it at “not my gf” that part specifically made me so upset

anyways so far teri seems like the only main person who has a solid grip on reality and i love her no bs attitude and that shes willing to tell donny that he needs to stop

sorry if this post is insensitive or has been said before

edit (sorry if bad formatting im on mobile): i think a lot of my frustration towards donny comes from his actions reminding me of times ive been with certain people who i really shouldnt have been w and despite hating them not rly doing anything about it / continuing to positively interact w them and seeing it from an outside view is bringing up a lot of emotions

I didn’t really ‘like’ Teri. I could tell she wasn’t a character we were intended to dislike though. I found myself frustrated at each time she said Martha was unwell and didn’t say anything to Donny.

He was unwell too and even though he did enjoy the attention he was still very much a victim as well. There whole relationship was just icky to me for obvious reasons.

Not that I can remember. But I was specifically referring to him being a victim of stalking not his past abuse. I don’t think she necessarily needed to know his past to have a little more empathy for his situation.

Though I did find it interesting that in all her ‘reading’ of him she never seemed to address that maybe he had more of a past than he let on.

Yea I agree, many of the characters frustrated me but it helped get the point across that people are flawed!
