Broken-Hearted and Confused discussion

I personally do not like love triangles because 80% of the time, the book ends in the way I do not want it to with the main character with the person I didn't wish them to originally be with. I find them quite frustrating.

You?

Love triangles not so much but I don't always like it when the first love they meet is the one they end up with. I don't mind if they outgrow that person and move another direction. I don't like the back and forth, I want to yell at them and say, "make a choice and stick with one already."

Yeah, it is very undecisive of them.

Have you ever been indecisive? I have not, maybe that is why I don't relate to the love triangle.

No, I am pretty good on knowing what I do and do not want. Plus, I've noticed love triangles also make it to where you start to not like the female lead and begin to lose respect for the character BECAUSE of how indecisive they can be.

I agree 1000%. The one in the middle of the Triangle is always stringing one along for various reasons. And I completely lose respect for the one being strung along... what is he hoping for, sloppy seconds. If the one she wants doesn't take her, Wow how romantic.
"After my wife couldn't get the man she really loved, we got happily married."

It doesn't work, unless you want to portray the lead character as heartless, and willing to us others to feel their own personal emptiness. Then I guess it works pretty good.

Yes. It also makes it a bit unrealistic. Because if the person truly cared for the first one, they wouldn't have fallen for the second.
