The only thing I really truly hated about the Buffy/Riley arc was Xander's bizarre and grotesque "I'm going to make you feel dirty and ashamed in the lowest possible way because you didn't pander to your man's every insecure need" speech to Buffy just before Riley left. That was so fucked up it left a disgusting taste in my mouth that affected the whole of the B/R arc for me when I came to watch it again. What the fuck, Xander, what the actual seafaring candy-coated fuck.

Other than that I thought B/R was kinda realistic, including his insecurites, but holy shit could it have been handled better at the end.

Ugh, Xander. And I liked him so much in the beginning. I often wonder if the problem with Xander is that he's too much of a stand-in for some of the writers. A little too frequently, he seems to play into that entitled 'nice guy' trope, the pervasive idea in all films everywhere that all normal nice guys somehow deserve the hot girl (but never, ever the reverse). He always seemed way too proprietary about Buffy's love life.

At the very least, I think that Xander had decided that if he couldn't have Buffy, he wanted it to be Riley.
