i really have made some peace with the beardjane endgame ending, not because i think they're a good healthy couple, but because like. i knew they weren't going to break them up lmao. i knew it. i think they had a good opportunity to do it after mom city, but i knew they wouldn't.
now, i don't think beard is happy in his marriage, and there's definitely that ted-shaped hole that jane unfortunately cant fill (and she hates beard for that, and ted, too)......... i think he tries, like a lot. i really do think he tries to force himself to be happy. they keep going to codependents anonymous, beard probably begs her to agree to couples counseling.........they have a baby that needs both of them, and he isn't happy. and he hates himself even more that he's not happy, because he...should be, right? this is the life people should be happy with. a good job, a wife, a baby........
#i don't think he resents the baby at all btw like he tries FOR the baby the most#he grew up in a tough home.#i just think beard has never had a healthy family so he tries to create one for himself but with his skewed view on families#like how he LATCHED onto the lasso family. dottie probably preferred him over ted.#it's also very interesting that the Moment ted went through a separation/divorce .... mr. doesn't settle down NEEDS to find a partner#like watching ted actively struggle through a divorce and just. i will replicate a relationship for myself#(i always thought a part of it was tedmichelle was like. beard's gold standard for romance since he'd been on the outskirts#of it for like 20 years. they were his . well this is what true love looks like.#then that marriage fell apart and so did beard's projection of happy marriages/relationships so he met jane and flung himself into that)#beard losing ted and immediately proposing to jane and having a baby with her to replace family he lost with ted's departure#bc again. he has some of the most unhealthy views of family since being neglected / rejected / growing up in a tough home / qanon mom / etc
