It's to the point where I dont even ship them anymore lol. They fight so damn much like yes, pretty damn realistic for a teenager romance at least from my experience. The miscommunication is very well written for sure. I just wanna see them start making a little bit of progress. I miss the sweet moments lol. I love these characters though

2026-01-16 00:13:32 +0000 UTCWhy is everyone demonizing Cole like Jesus Christ he is a teenager in an extremely frustrating situation. Like yes his reactions are unwarranted and he definitely needs to work on his temper and safe ways to let out his anger. But that's just the thing, that's something that needs work and time and constant reminders and rewiring of your brain..some people are born with quick fuses, my whole family is like that, and we're all working on it to different levels of success. It's hard AF and when your normal natural tone of voice is loud even when you're happy or just having a normal conversation, it doesn't take much to cross over to what others can consider yelling. Yes he has stuff to work on but I'm tired of everyone acting like Cole is the sole issue and max is being perfectly reasonable. Like Max needs to be communicated with in a super specific way, which is completely valid; but for others it can be easy to misunderstand. Cole has been putting a lot of effort into understanding him but max keeps giving mixed signals. Like if you want someone to follow your specific guidelines but then you go "🙈 you make me want to do something stupid 🤭" in the middle of basically making out, and keep doing stuff like that obviously it makes it super confusing for the other person!!! Like I understand why Cole is frustrated!!! Anyways this is not a Cole is perfect angel rant but Jesus Christ does everyone in this comment section live in a glass bubble where everyone whispers all the time or what

2026-01-15 22:36:56 +0000 UTCI agree with you. I also dont think, that Cole would hit Max. He doesnt actually show signs, that he would do that. In the contrary actually. He tents to be less aggresive with Max. You can actually see that in this fight pretty well. He is shouting at Max, yes. Is that good? No. But everytime he's touchung him it is not agressiv. Even when they're fighting. Was that Wall punch good? No. But he activly directed his anger somewhere else. With Brandon tho... Cole pushes him, slams him against a Wall, ... And I do think Cole also would have punched him in the End (If he had seen.) Also I feel like it probably wouldnt have gone this far, if Brandon hadnt fueled it. 😅 All of this doesnt excuse Coles behaviour in this Situation tho. He definately needs to learn to manage his anger more. And yeah, Max definately isnt a saint either. Hes done stuff, that I wouldnt agree with either. (Like the Ultimatum 😑) But I have to admit, that in general I just can relate with Max more. But I not going to excuse his own false behaviour. 😅

2026-01-15 21:49:57 +0000 UTCJust cuz someone hits inanimate objects doesn’t mean they’re more or less likely to be an abuser. You’re acting like he tried to punch max or threw something at him.

2026-01-15 20:04:00 +0000 UTCWhy the hell are people acting like Cole’s abusive or going to become abusive towards max, like dude got angry and hit a wall, should he have done it? No. Does that mean he’s going to hit max? NO! People get angry and need a way to let it out, hitting things is definitely not the best way to deal with it but it’s better than suppressing it until it all boils over. Just because Cole hit a wall/inanimate object doesn’t mean he’s going to hit another person, especially someone he cares about. Also max isn’t totally in the right either, he keeps giving Cole mixed signals and doesn’t try to understand where Cole is coming or why he feels the way he feels and it’s the same with Cole, Cole doesn’t understand that max has a hard time recognizing his own feelings and emotions therefore the miscommunication is on both ends. (This comes from someone with anger issues) Cole isn’t a bad guy nor is max an innocent baby, they’re both flawed and complex characters with their own good traits and bad traits.

2026-01-15 19:42:35 +0000 UTCI'm back at not loving Cole and being scared for Max. He's already hitting walls. The fist will soon be hitting Max. We know how domestic violence goes. FOR EVERYONE- if anyone is acting like Cole in your life please try to safely remove yourself. It's not a case of if, but WHEN they will hit you. Get out while you are still alive 💖 Tell a person you trust. Call helplines. Call the police and ask to speak to a trauma informed officer/police professional. Document everything: things they say, the way they control what you do, money situations, everything. Do anything that will ensure your safety in the safest way possible. NEVER tell them you plan to leave. This IS domestic abuse/violence. You do not have to be physically harmed to experience domestic violence. Hitting walls, throwing things, harming themselves, all of these things are precursors and what they want to do TO YOU. Be safe everyone 💖 I'm unsure what it's gonna take from Cole for me to ship them again 😭 It's gotta be something big. I hope Max shows Cole the footage and Cole reflects on his rage. Even if Max DID mean it the way Cole constantly interprets it, there is absolutely no excuse in this world for the volatility he exhibits when he gets rageful.

2026-01-15 08:21:56 +0000 UTCAgain I have a couple of things. 1. They're both managing to ruin the Date together. 🤦♀️ No need to try to shift the blame. (But if I actually think about it, the biggest issue was Cole taking everything to personal and not giving Max the benefit of the doupt.) 2. Cole seriously has to stop being so aggresive about Max and Brandon. I get he thinks, there could be something between them. But unless something happend in the past or off camera that we dont know about, Cole is totally overreacting. I would be annoyed in this situation too. But there is no need to constantly blame Max for something he didnt even do. 😑 3. Brandon again has to step back. As I feared, he only put fuel into the fire. 😑 And he can count himself lucky, that Cole didnt see him getting closer to Max. Punches would have been thrown. I think he really has a deathwish. While Cole an Max already are in a fight, he should just leave it. 4. No Max, Cole doesnt get angry with you because of passion... That has nothing to do with passion. He takes everything to personal and has to learn anger management.
