#aka the token straight friend on thin ice

I disagree actually with some of the takes about how Rebecca stating the way Jack is acting remember her how Rupert acted and love bombed her till she complied was uncalled for and mean.

It's not.

Queer relationships are not inherently always good and healthy.

Queer relationships can be as toxic as straight ones. Love bombing isn't a straight thing and it's silly thinking so.

Rebecca treat Keeley relationship as she would have treat a straight one, she saw a red flag, immediately had a flashback of her toxic and abusive past relationship and she brought it up in a quite frankly mature and respectful way with her best friend.

Rebecca has the best intentions here and maybe because I was in a similar situation (one of my dearest friend was dating a walking red flag) I respect her suggestion. Sometimes friends in love need a reality check.

And let's not fool ourselves either, I see why it could be interpreted in the wrong way, because media has a tendency to portray lesbian relationships as either through a male gaze or straight up toxic (masked as spicy women) or worst, as lesser one. I'm not saying this is the case, because right now Ted Lasso broke most of the stereotype. It's a nuanced topic.

With this out of the way...I hope Jack and Keeley relationship will be treat with the respect it deserves, whatever they plan to do with it
