Re: Peony--Grey's (when you are done)
I did. I really did. They were hot with their slightly rough sex. But there's no realistic way back from this. If him screaming "you killed my baby" wasn't enough, they want totally different lives.
Agreed. Neither is budging whatsoever or even wants to find common ground. I've never really liked them together.
I hate when I'm around people IRL and they're fighting (especially a couple). It makes me feel all squicky.
When I watch scenes like Owen and Christina's on Thursday, I felt the same way. At points, I actually fast-forwarded it.
I hate when Owen gets that creepy/crazy look in his eye too.
Also, did we talk about how Kamikaze's H looks like Owen? (Not creepy eyed Owen).

I KNOW! I think I have had a love/hate with them since they started. I see both sides which makes me torn, but seriously- there is no coming back from this. I understand they love each other but what is there to work on?
And as much as Christina sometimes annoys me, Owen was driving me crazy. What is so hard to believe about someone never wanting kids? Why is he trying to push her into it? She has had TWO abortions and a miscarriage (right?), trust me, she doesn't want kids. But he was totally right when he said they always do things on her time (SHE bought the house, she won on the abortion topic, etc.)
Ugh, I don't know. I don't get how they could work it out at this point. Even if she magically changed her mind, he would still always hold that abortion over her head.
(Sorry, I didn't just see this until now)

People can love each other but this is one of those cases where love just isn't enough. There is nothing you can compromise on because it's not like if parenting isn't for you, you can just not be. Or if you always envisioned having children I think you could fool yourself into thinking you're fine without them for awhile but eventually the resentment comes out.
I was really annoyed at Owen not accepting that she doesn't want kids, saying she'll regret it & that everyone wants kids. I know people that dont want kids. I can even compare it to me not wanting any MORE kids. People are always telling me I have to have another for a plethora of their own reasons for wanting more than one. Meanwhile I've never had even one moment of wavering. Not one moment of wanting another. If I somehow got pregnant now or any time in the future I wouldn't have it. But that wouldn't even happen because I'd rather use 5 forms of bc at once to prevent that from happening.
Anyway I think it's just a crazy thing to say to a woman who has had two abortions already at her age. It's not like she was a teenager with all this time ahead of her. She has a career and is established. She already knows how she sees her life and doesn't want a different path. No one tells someone who wants kids that they're going to regret it and maybe they shouldn't.
I guess he should've picked Teddy when he had the chance.
I don't remember a second abortion. Just the miscarriage with Burke. When was it? And FFS, use birth control, Dr. Yang.
I feel like both their positions are ridiculous. He shouldn't expect her to change her mind about having kids. She shouldn't expect him to not have trouble getting over the abortion. There's just no way to reconcile where they are.
Right- for someone so sure she doesn't want kids she should be doing a much better job in the bc dept.
She said sometime early on I think that she had an abortion or made a reference that she had one a long time ago. Before Burke. Maybe in college or medical school. Don't remember the specifics.
And yeah she is totally crazy thinking she can just have an abortion without discussing it with her husband first and he should just be ok with that because she doesn't want kids. Then have an IUD and use condoms. Or at least take the pill.
I think they were always doomed. All they seem to do is have sex. That's great but they don't have anything else in common or even really know each other.
