My Happy Marriage (light novel)
| I can see how Miyo’s actions can be frustrating, but as someone who grew up being abused in similar ways I see her as an accurate portrayal of an emotional abuse victim. She absolutely is not setting up a healthy foundation for a relationship and her communication/expressions are not helping her in anyway, but complex PTSD really does a number on a person and their thought patterns and behaviors. Something that, simply being out of the situation for a couple of months, if that, won’t erase. It’s difficult to watch her suffer like this and in some ways make her current situation worse for herself, but I think watching her road to recovery will be a big part of the payoff of this series. I really appreciate that it isn’t depicting her story as simply as “she moved away from her evil family and all her problems went away” and I think the romance will be stronger for it. |

Pffffff..... What is with all these people? What is wrong with all of you? What problem do you have with Myo? Like for real now. A personality can't be changed in a few days/weeks . It takes months maybe years to change.π°π°

| Bro, just because can't understand her plight and what she went thought doesn't mean she is poorly written or anything. When someone was confined their entire life and every decision was made for them, it's obvious that they won't know what to do once their circumstances improve. It is literally as if a therapist would try to blame an abuse victim. It's really cringe when people think that character development is like a flipping a switch and Miyo would immidietly do a complete 180* just because Kaya is gone, while in fact it is a gradual process, that in some works can take entire story. People seem to completely omit the fact that in earlier episode they had an argument, after which Miyo started to believe she is nothing but a burden and began to question wether they should even marry, which makes her not being able to answer the question totally consistent with her characterization.  |

A-lil-weeb-dog said: Bonus nitpick: When he got shot, she didn't even react or respond, or try to yell out to the guy with the gun to stop like she didn't even care. Only when he was beaten did she run out to him. Which is kinda weird, She worries that her husband would be overworked because of her being around but she didn't even flinch at the sight of him actually getting shot at and in danger. Seems unintended. They didn't cut back to her, so her not reacting is not shown either. If they wanted to make a point of it they would of cut to her having no reaction. They either cut any reaction there because it would disrupt the flow of the fight with too much pausing or because they didn't know how to make it be irrelevant to the fight without adding unnecessary things like the old man stopping her twice. If she scream and he looked at her wouldn't you be calling her an idiot for distracting someone that was in life/death combat? |

| @Piromysl Trauma is still stuck with her that she can't even call Hazuki "big sis" |
| I find absolutely no issue with Miyo having these flaws, she has a right to be a severely flawed character because of her history. Many people here are upset because it has only been a short amount of time, and trauma does not heal that quickly. I agree with that sentiment. I think, reading through this post, the frustration is more-so with the concept of character development in story-telling. This is an anime. It is a work of fiction, and while I don't think the story should magically cure all of Miyo's afflictions, it feels unproductive because there is no sense of progress. Most good stories show character development in one way or another. Miyo has become less groveling and more independent. But in dramatic interactions between Miyo and her husband, where it feels like progress should be made, it feels unfulfilling when nothing comes of the emotion. This is just my take on the conversation. I don't really care if no one agrees. |

| I can't with Miyo anymore, It's like she's apologizing for existing to everything and everyone.. Gurl stop. I can't. Every single episode she will apologize. Please. |
| I just find the show a frustrating watch, somewhat agree with everyone's chimes in the forum, and I agree not everyone reacts the same to a situation/event especially when abused however its still painful as a viewer to watch the terrible communication that if done better could solve/help issues very easily. |
