Okay, now it’s just funny how A is doing way more damage and abuse than her fiancé ever would in the future. First the knife, then destroying her phone. Now, bashing her skull to knock her out, really? I already know the reason is that she wants to make sure she doesn’t leave (irony), but omg. It turns out that she was the real abuser all along. Not the intention of the story, of course(?), but what irony.

From what I can tell, it seems as if the relationship was great before. Then the old lady made her get paranoid, hostile, now thinking that innocuous things were bad, worsening the idea of them she only had in her head. Over that week she got defensive, not as loving or playful, and then hostile. Only then did he do something, and it wasn’t even to her, and it was better than what she did. Relationship crasher 101.

So the old lady implanted a seed of major doubt in the MC that she now is fearful of her fiancé because he mentioned that his parents wanted to invite their friend to the wedding. Is this supposed to be abusive and fearful from that info alone? What? What???

She too would be pissed at her fiancé for allowing someone with a knife to barge into the home… One of the worst ways to write the onlooker being bad.
