No not specifically. I guess in everything that had come before the attempted seduction. Mick was aware she was attracted to him and there are moments where I felt it was encouraged because he wanted her to be attracted to him. When I look at the morning after scene I see an understanding between them both of what happened and the continued denial of the feelings.mwj01 wrote:back! I agree there was some mutual flirting but still see her as more culpable. I don't see how he encouraged her behavior in BC...do you mean the attempted seduction specifically?coco wrote:mwj I would never throw a tomato at you but I think we are going to see things differently heremwj01 wrote:This is refreshing to read. I always had sympathy for Josh and the way Beth treated him, especially when he practically begged her to be upfront with him regarding Mick and she still would not. Josh may have not been all that exciting compared to Mick but she was supposed to be committed to him and handled herself poorly with little regard for his feelings, to say the least. In fact she treated both of them shabbily and they both deserved better. *dodges*Luxe de Luxe wrote: its all cool coco.
I just think that Beth's treatment of JOsh put her in a bad light. I suppose we've all mistreated boyfriends in some ways - it just wasn't pretty to see. And I thought Mick deserved a more morally sound girlfriend - someone who was as clear about good behaviour as he was.
Beth is more often than not seen as the one who acted badly in this instance and when it comes to the Josh situation I can understand that. I look at it differenly though based on the situation Beth was in at the time. As much as Beth was the one with the boyfriend, Mick knew this too and still flirted with her and allowed the signals from Beth. Mick was not a saint in all this and IMO liked the way Beth acted in BC and on some level even encouraged the way she acted.
Not everyone will have that view and that's OK. I am guilty of being protective of Beth and that may be what's happening here
