I think you're being uncharitable making this connection. You have no idea why she ships things the way she does. I like my unhealthy relationships unhealthy, but I'm not gonna judge those who want to romanticize them. I don't know what's going on in their heads. I don't know what's really going on in their lives, either. Only they know that.

Not the OP but I'd agree with you about not assuming that people who romanticize dysfunctional relationships are dysfunctional IRL but in OP's case, the shipper makes excuses for IRL dysfunctional relationships, too. Suggesting that there's maybe a connection isn't so unreasonable.

I didn't say it was unreasonable. I said it was uncharitable.

Fair enough. But you also tell OP that they have no idea why their friemd ships this pairing. I don't think that's the case. Your example of not knowing what goes on in people's lives is true for you...but OP actually does know what's going on in their friend's life.

I think the degree of charity that you're asking for is kind of unreasonable.

[(Anonymous)]

Not surprised.

Wha?

"You have no idea why she ships things the way she does."

I suppose it could be for reasons beyond the ken of fandom, but my guess is that the relationship in that pairing works for her regardless of how unsuitable it might seem to others. OP's friend romanticizes the unhealthy dynamic in a fictional couple and refuses to even acknowledge there are issues in it. And she also "makes excuses" for her own husband who exhibits abusive behavior.

I don't think the services of Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple are required here, nonny.
