While it was horrible of Arizona to cheat on her, I think people really forget how Callie had been acting that whole year. She kept talking as though she had been there on the plane. She would group them together as a "we", and she would make assumptions FOR them, when they did not agree. She wanted to sue the pilot when the survivors of the crash were like "wtf... no, he was one of us". Callie just... didn't get it, she was co-opting their experience. She kept acting like she was part of the horror but she wasn't.

And then she also pushed Arizona into getting better. She kept guilting her for "making it all about the leg". Arizona lost a limb and Callie made it about her sex life. I do admire the fact that Callie was often patient, but she could also be REALLY pushy. Arizona was clearly not ready for a lot of the things Callie made her do.

So while I hate that Arizona did what she did, I don't think it's so simple as Arizona being a self-obsessed child. I think if anything... Callie was being a bit self-absorbed as well.

I do agree with you that it was weird that Callie kept acting like she was part of the group, and part of the experience, when she clearly wasn't. So much so that halfway through the season, I started wondering if she had been on the plane, only to realize that she hadn't. So, yeah. That was really weird and annoying.

Arizona was clearly not ready for a lot of the things Callie made her do.
Such as what, exactly? I really disagree with everything else you've said here. Callie did NOT make it all about her sex life. Yes, she made an issue of the fact that she hadn't had sex in several months. Not the most understanding thing to do, but in light of how understanding she was in general, I think it's excusable.

To me, what's INEXCUSABLE is the fact that, even a YEAR later, Arizona still blamed Callie for cutting off her leg. Arizona continually acted as if that was Callie's fault and placed the blame on her, when Callie was responsible for saving her life. Callie had to put up with that kind of stress and guilt which was completely unfair.

Right after the operation, Arizona spent months laying in bed and refusing to go to rehab or anything. Which is understandable because she went through a major trauma, but then yes, Callie did eventually push her to get better. I don't think what she did was wrong.

I'm not really a fan of Callie or Arizona or them as a couple, but this was how I felt about their situation.
