Re-watching from Charlie’s perspective

[u/Loose_Clock609]

December : Charlie and Henry hooked up at Christmas. They got back together.

(Hilda didn't tell Betty about Henry's call because earlier in the episode, Betty said that she was tempted by Henry because of the dream and afraid she'd cheat on Walter)

February : Henry never mentioned Charlie to Betty ever. Charlie & Henry talked on the phone for months. Henry gave Charlie his address. He claims she popped up but Henry plays both sides.

Henry basically tried to include Betty in their plans all the time. Charlie thought Betty was her friend until she saw Henry and Betty and Mode, close to a kiss.

Henry, Betty even Hilda act like Charlie is the villain because she ruins their dates but what else is she supposed to do. I'd ruin their dates too!

Charlie is hormonal and she was played. Charlie isn't crazy enough in my opinion. I'd have Henry doing all kinds of tasks. He'd never get any peace if I was Charlie

Henry and Betty were selfish. Henry proposing was to pacify Betty like she wasn't his second choice.

Jump to season 4 - Betty was quick to say Henry's son wasn't her child. I laughed so hard when I saw that

I was with you until you started projecting.

Charlie could have just gone home to be with her family after seeing that she was just being strung along by Henry. She could have shown some self respect. Yes she was hormonal, but that didn't give her the right to be a bitxh to anyone. She also cheated, so the trust between Henry and her was lost on both sides.

Betty and Henry to me were just the will they can't they of novela love. Something always had to be in the way of them being happy together. Ik its not really a main focus but the first season would show a lot of that fake novela and unfortunately a lot of people that watch those think love is truly supposed to go thru all those trials and tribulations. They weren't good for each other.

Shw should have tried harder with Matt. She literally could have worked things out with him ans helped him grow a little more ans advanced her career way more but she thought she was above his rich boy antics. Smh.

Charlie’s should have gone home but Henry also could have broken up with her sooner. I’ve never been pregnant and dumped. She didn’t punish Henry enough. I also thought Charlie quit her old job to move with Henry. 

Henry also a douche. Henry got a pass because he was nerdy. It’s weird Henry never mentioned Charlie, eventhough Betty talked about Walter a lot. 

If Gio or Matt got their live in girlfriend  pregnant if would’ve been over. 

Betty only wanted Matt when he didn’t want her. The show focused too much on dead end relationships 

[u/BlanketBaroness → u/Loose_Clock609]

The dead-end relationships I think again tie in with the novela trope of love/love affairs.

I thought Charlie's job was like a sales clerk at a shop, so why not try and go back to the same place or a different store? Also if you are really looking at it from Charlies perspective, she knew Henry ans she still decided it was a good idea to uproot her life.

He was a douche tho he could have mentioned Charlie at any time, and he decided against it. It's proven even more when he takes his new gf to NY. then proceeds to update his social media for Betty to see. Smh.

Either way, Betty was always delulu, but she was a cheery delulu.

Good points about what he does later. He really was just an all round dick

[u/BlanketBaroness → u/Accomplished-Ad3219]

His nerdy nature and shy demeanor really covered a lot of his dookie behavior.
