I assume your degree wasn't in English because that should be "between my husband and me".

[(Anonymous)]

I cannot roll my eyes any harder at your dumb comment.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but I wouldn't call it a dumb comment, though I might use the terms pedantic, rude, and/or unnecessary.

I'd also call it wrong because it should be "ex-husband" but grammatically speaking, they do have a point. Unfortunately, the widespread (mis)use of this phrase has led to one of those situations where the (mis)use is now widely accepted and "correct" as a result.

you do realize that not everyone on F!S is a native English speaker?
Also wtf is wrong with you

I could see that happening between them. They never did feel like a good match, tbh.

i mean their problem was never her intellect, their problem was that they're both insecure about themselves socially (in frankly the same way. they both think that they don't have certain socially attractive factors). it's not great but it's not insurmountable either.

Makes sense.

Before the long term conflict over trans stuff, most of the acrimony aimed at JK Rowling was from Ron/Hermione shippers who were outraged that she gave some interviews well after the books were over where she said that she thought they wouldn't have worked out, long-term.

Here's the fulltext of one of those interviews. https://www.mugglenet.com/jkrint-wonderland-020714.shtml If you control + F the word "wish," it'll take you straight to the bit where she says she wrote Ron/Hermione for largely personal reasons. But if you're interested in Hermione's characterization in general, there's a lot more on that in there. And on what she thinks of Ron, for that matter.

I didn't like any of the main leads in that book well enough to care about what they did with their love lives, but I was significantly alienated from the Harry Potter fandom by the degree of meanness people used in arguing that their preferred thing should win. And then more so, because of how people who shipped what did become canon attacked the author for daring to say later that she didn't continue to support it. All of the "the author should shut up and let us enjoy the text without her!!" that only got uglier when she pissed more people off, later, was already flying around from over a decade ago, and most of it seemed directly inspired by not liking that, if she contradicted their preferred interpretation of something entirely fictional, people gave that a certain weight. Because she made up the story.

I would agree with movie Ron and Hermione, but I never thought book Ron was dumb.

[(Anonymous)]

It isn't that he's dumb per say. He's not brilliant and he has his own areas of intelligence. But he mocks her intelligence and doesn't particularly respect it. And both he and Harry take advantage of her. She deserves better than either of them.

[(Anonymous)]

I can definitely see that for Ron and Hermione.

For me, their bickering always seemed like something the two enjoyed as snarky teenagers.
But I can see that sort of dynamic leading to resentment and/or arguments as they get older.

My head canon is they go to therapy and work things out after the first couple of years of parenthood.

[(Anonymous)]

Plus he's a ginger, so probably is evil and has no soul.

[(Anonymous)]

Settle down, Cartman.

[(Anonymous)]

I can totally see that, but the different versions of how it went in Cursed Child made me believe in the happy ending being possible.
