On the topic of Adam and Eric’s relationship.
I don’t mind that it came to an end that much because the reasoning behind it makes sense: they are at different points in their life and can’t offer their partener what they want.
HOWEVER, the way the writers chose to put an end to this relationship is just lazy. There is nothing wrong with an amiable break up between people who realize things simply won’t work out anymore, but inserting unnecessary drama such as cheating is just not it.
Why did Eric have to kiss someone he had no emotional connection with out of the blue just to realise he wanted to go out and party? He could have realised that just by being in the club and having a good time by himself. But no… God forbid we get an accurate depiction of a healthy and natural break up. Now we see the pattern of Eric cheating on his SO’s and that’s just not nice, because eventually the audience catches on and it feels like he doesn’t care so we shouldn’t either.
They both deserved better
I think the reason why dynamics such as Ruby x Otis and Adam x Eric work - or worked, rather - so well is because of the very underrated trope of “I hate everyone but them” and “Everyone hates them and at a time I did too, but I got to see something I didn’t know was there when they tried to be better” and I think that’s beautiful
