Yeah, everything is stacked against her. It’s amazing that she’s able to be as open and confident in their relationship as she has been, when you think about it.
Actually, @dealanexmachina and I have been talking a bit about Juls’s insecurities and the imbalance it’s bringing to the relationship. On the whole, the two have been great, for sure, very mutual, very open and loving, and she’s been able to confront Val about the money issues, for example. But there are little things, not at all helped by everything and everyone around them, that show she’s still feeling their differences keenly. When she was like, I don’t want to bother you with my problems. When she was like, Silvina doesn’t like me, this situations sucks, maybe we should take a break. So far, as you said, Val has been the one who reassures her, who overall blows past Juls’s concerns. But that can’t be how their real relationship is, where she’ll always be afraid to put a step wrong or waiting for approval and reassurance.
It definitely feels like it’ll be part of her arc to break free from that. So yeah, I really hope we’ll get to see Juls have the confidence in their relationship to fight for it.
And in a way, Val has her own insecurities too, she doesn’t seem to have people in her life who she can open up to easily, Juls got through to her so easily and quickly simply by being there and by not dismissing her concerns. So they’ve both got things to work on. 🙂
