Sick of women? Is this where Paulo starts dating Mike?

The way people communicate in this comic is fucking frustrating. Just like real life. Weh.

Paulo is not stringing Rachel along and she is NOT a victim here. She set the terms and hasn’t said she wants to change them. This is a classic example of poor communication. It is NOT Paulo’s job to know what Rachel wants, he can’t read minds and a LOT of people ruin relationships by expecting the other person to “just know.” It’s a trope that needs to die already because people think that’s how thing are “supposed to work” and it’s completely unreasonable. Also, Maddy needs to butt out because it is not her place to tell Paulo what Rachel wants and since no abuse or mistreatment is happening here she has no right to get involved in their relationship at all.

okay but like…. if rachel had a problem with them not being exclusive, she shouldve maybe talked to paulo about it?? just saying??? if they never agreed to be exclusive then paulo is not in the wrong at all?????

On one hand: Rachel has stated and implied several times that she is not going to pursue Paulo long term because she wants biological kids and they can’t do that. And this is probably along with some other considerations like “good chemistry doesn’t necessarily = long term compatibility”
On the other hand: Maddie kind of has a point that Rachel has been treating this situation more and more like romantic love, and well, its hard not to have an attachment to someone you have sex with, casual or not. Paulo is being dense if he’s totally unaware of everything she’s been saying and doing. He needs to have a serious conversation with her if its not going that way and never would, and STOP HAVING RELATIONS WITH HER.
TL;DR Paulo its time you learned the fun and adult lesson of “why having friends with benefits rarely if ever ends well.”
