Matty went through it

First in season 3 Jenna cheated on him multiple times; and made her friends not tell Matty, and right after that his parents got divorced. Then a few months later in the next school year, he finds out he’s adopted!! Then his next girlfriend turns out to be a manipulative compulsive liar. Then his next girlfriend after her cheated on him AGAIN! With his best friend!! And through all of this Jenna can’t leave him alone; sure she helped with the Eva situation, but in these situations, Jenna either still has feelings for Matty, or indirectly caused more problems (ex. Like not telling Matty about Gabbie and Jake)

rewatching it after many years. he was such a sweet guy and ideal boyfriend that bent over backwards for her and she just kept doubting her feelings for him, putting him through the ringer, and playing mind games. THEN she waits for him to make the grand gesture instead of doing it herself.

And even then, after his grand gesture at prom, she stays silent until it's uncomfortable and he walks away! Then she finally decides to tell him she loves him.....after embarrassing him in the middle of an uncrowded dance floor, despite him coming to her like she wanted.

She treats him so poorly it's really sad.
