I wholeheartedly believe that the After series would be far more compelling if Harden was portrayed as the villain rather than a love interest. It could be Tessa's coming of age story, diving headfirst into a toxic relationship and slowly learning to believe in herself and make her own decisions and discovering who she wants to be, while Harden is her antagonist.

[@minisn3066]

THIS is the problem with this disgusting genre. Telling young impressionable teens (especially those who are already dealing with life and mental issues) that relationships like this are okay because “relationships are complicated.” They won’t know the truth until they see the bigger picture as an adult, and by then, they may have already made terrible mistakes that can never be undone. Or worse, they never really wake up from this mindset… And it always irks me how they throw so many sex scenes because they know that’s what these teens want. Honestly, aside from sex, what else is there in this godforsaken relationship!?

[@dysmissme7343]

“Not about love, but about control” is a great way of putting it. And I had the misfortune to be dating during that time for me… really toxic stuff

@@minisn3066 we can only hope the last movie will end this terrible relationship and bring to light that it's abusive and unhealthy. that's the only way this series could work in an actually beneficial way. but i doubt it will - i think the writer has some unresolved issues and thinks this is what love is. very sad. i appreciate commentary and review channels going in depth about why the movies are problematic, but unfortunately i'm pretty sure at least some of the fans will be brainwashed into thinking relationships like this are okay.

And the tuition thing...it's not easy to pay ur tuition especially with any job you can get as a freshman. i wonder if she had aid, and if so that aid is given to her based on the fact that she's a dependent on her mom.

[@PB-vb4ob]

A wild thing about this series, is that Harry Styles seems like he would be a great BF, and he's just overall a really likeable guy. So the fact that someone was so obsessed with him that they wrote a fanfic, yet wrote this character that is NOTHING like him, is really weird. Like, there are PLENTY of garbage men out there that will treat you like this, so why did they choose one of the guys who, to the best of my knowledge, never would?? The biggest draw to most of the adult women that are into him, is his personality, and the author of this distorted it into something so unrecognizable, and effectively sucked out every good quality he has, which makes me wonder what she actually even likes about him... Two of his biggest songs are literally about adoring you, and going down on you lol

And also she’s basic and toxic too, but not as harmful because her toxicity doesn’t always to violence.

@@myunwantedopinion7278 all early relationships can affect how you form them later on, especially a big one like a parental relationship that young. it also shows how her mom likely chose bad partners and what they were used to putting up with for multiple reasons. the bs tolerance meter is higher than other healthy individuals. it's not uncommon for kids to follow their parents' habits subconsciously. it would be a bit more interesting, if not very cliche, to explore that part of Tessa but her and her trash bf are both the worst so I think ending it would be better and finally send a healthy message after the toxicity that the audience had to endure. her having no/a poor relationship with a parent that left them like that, it makes sense that she'd be more likely than others to put up with poor behaviour from others regardless of the type of relationship, but also that she doesn't have a great example to model or compare with a healthy partner in a romantic relationship. but unlike her mom, she doesn't have kids so she doesn't even have that to consider as a reason to stay -- like girl, just run and work on yourself. I'm not even completely aiming this rant at this awful trilogy and the characters but in general because people are so quick to name stuff like this "mommy or daddy issues" when it's dismissive of the actual problem and in modern day has gross connotations like you're implying. I'm sure there are fans who see the character like that but I don't think that's what OP was hinting at.
