    Leslie is right! Gunther is blind to how manipulative Bets is. Hopefully he will come around. Bets should want to be with Gunther because she cares for him….not because she cares for him getting her “views” and “likes”.

    Les tells it like it is. It didn’t take much to convince Gunther to sew those costumes. He lets Betts walk all over him. Studying is more important, and Betts should have accepted the fact that he needs the time to study.

    That’s quite the sassy little pose Gunther is making in the third panel. I feel bad for the commenter who claimed there was “a man’s man” underneath Gunther’s awkward exterior, because that stance says otherwise.

    Here’s a thought.

    Right now, of Les and Bets’ date, we only have Bets’ side of the story.

    Just suppose…was it the other way around?

    Granted, Les and Bets’ date was a couple years ago our time, maybe a couple weeks their time; nevertheless, Les was still somewhat in his bad boy days. We don’t know.

    But I’m wondering, if the truth be told, which is the one who dumped whom – and why?

    I really like Bets in that she’s felt pretty well-rounded right out the gate. Like, she has a vibrant, go-getter personality, but people are right in saying that she’s pushy/bossy (and then there’s the jealousy thing she had about Luann).

    Especially because her pushiness does feel more…“balanced”(?) than being straight up manipulative or forceful. Sure, Gunther has expressed reluctance in things like being involved in her social media, or right now where she’s talked him into sewing them costumes, but ultimately he seems to enjoy himself or at least grow more comfortable with being more social and outgoing by the end of it. I’m sure there needs to be a line drawn somewhere down the road, but I really enjoy Bets as a character and get kinda frustrated that half the plot lines she’s featured in have other characters raising their eyebrows like she’s some sort of wolf-in-sheeps-clothing tyrant.

    Nope, you’re mistaken, Gunther. Your spine was pulverized and it was sad to witness. Dump Bets. You have known she is bossy, demanding, jealous, suspicious, domineering, unreasonable…all the unflattering adjectives. Yes, she was a rare one who is interested in you but she is interested in you for all the wrong reasons which is all in name of self-interest. Bets’s priority is…Bets – and her social media followers. Don’t put up with her because you rather have a girlfriend than being alone. Someday, you will realize it is better to be alone than be miserable in a bad relationship.

    Where is is Morty? What got me in this whole story line is that Bets didn’t ask Gunther to sew the outfits, she told him to do it. Not only is that bossy, but it is also impolite. If Bets has true feelings for Gunther she should be supportive to his needs, especially school work.

    Les is trying to help Gunther understand how unfair this situation is!? GO LES! He’s a great cousin ♡!I really miss it when Gunther had the “three days beard”. He had a horrible temper, was irritable, victimize and selfish. But he seemed better able to look around and know when someone was taking advantage of him. Now he looks so weak, so manipulable. Gunther really loves Bets♡, so much that he is unable to see flaws in her. Let’s hope this doesn’t affect his grades too much.

    Gunther is comfortable with Bets. The other girls made him nervous and sweaty. He puts up with Bets because Bets “puts out” for Gunther. It is obvious that they share a very active sex life.

    Gunther probably has the perfect girlfriend, even if she is pushy. He does love to sew. He loves it a lot, but it’s easier for a boy or man to say his girlfriend made him do it instead of just admitting that’s what he wants to be doing. He might have a hard time finding another girl who not only admires his talent but encourages it and provides an outlet for him to sew any time he wants. It is odd he doesn’t work on spiffing up his own wardrobe…just sayin’.

    Just live in the moment. If Gun is doing well in school and can handle a relationship, then it’s all good. What difference does it make as long as he is having fun? Personally? I am not a Gun fan; however, in this matter it’s all about balance. If the costume making isn’t impacting his grades and he enjoys being with Bets then the point is moot.

    Les knows what Bets is up to; he’s got too much experience with manipulators not to see that this isn’t healthy. Ultimately, it’s Gunther’s decision what he does with his life, including his love life, but hopefully he starts to see what Les is talking about. His relationship with Bets can work out and continue, but it is awfully one-sided right now. He needs to learn how to stick up for his own needs.
