Vera can’t have mike growing a spine by being the one to break up with sandy as he’d either come off as rational and sympathetic or if he’s too harsh, too much of a hate moment to be able to pull her “mike was just going through a bad phase” bull crap so she can still trick the fans into thinking him ending up with Lucy or being friends with everyone is a sensible possibility.
Also she can’t have sandy full on cheating with mike because that would indisputably paint her as the bad guy here and again she needs to avoid giving mike any excuses for his behaviour while still pretending sandy is a “good girl” too.
So what does she do? A fucking pussy foot around the issue by saying sandy hasn’t been “cheating” on mike but rather been “interested” in someone else (code for slobbering over tyrone).
That way Vera gets the breakup without sandy coming off too bad, mike coming off too good and of course, without mike in anyway actually becoming a better person from this or improving in anyway of his own volition.
Instead he’s going to hit rock bottom and have to get “someone” else to rescue him. Then all his “friends” show him the error of his ways and realizes that what he truly wanted was in front of him “all along”.
Utter horsecrap. Mike learns nothing but to be a docile victim, Lucy gets everything she wants and no one has to actually change for the better.
Fuck this comic and especially fuck it for it’s disgusting use of attempted suicide as an excuse for bullying and gaslighting.
