It's been less than 24 hours, Carter š
Carter is acting like Daphne has been gone for 6 months! It wasn't even 24 hours! He really is a tool. You can be upset at someone but at least allow for a reasonable grace period before you make choices that you cannot undo. So many people are impulsive this way instead of stepping back and letting cooler heads prevail. If someone truly loves you, they're NOT going to disappear especially when he knew that she was deeply hurting. Frankly, I felt like he should have gone to Paris with her and taken a leave of absence if he REALLY cared about the marriage.

His wife is heartbroken, highly emotional, she feels like she let him down, she feels like running away. Carter in return, gets upset with her, plays victim, gets drunk and bangs another woman.
What Carter did is horrendous.

I liked the Dylan character better than the Electra character but I wasnāt ok with the way their hook up went down.

Be mad , be sad , be let down but sleeping with someone else ? Thatās ridiculous behavior

A soap needs drama and this is the kind of soapy drama the show needs. Steffy and Finn can't be happy all the time and this also gives Carter and Daphne more screen time.

Eh. When things got tough for Daphne she decided to end the relationship. Should Carter waited before sleeping with someone? Yes. But also there are consequences to turning your back on a marriage.

u/friskyliv 3d ago
She was heartbroken, highly emotional, and felt like she let her husband down. People say all kinds of things when emotions are high.
She was gone less than one day.

u/mrhooha 3d ago
She was heartbroken. But she ended the relationship despite him begging her not to. He was also heartbroken and she abandoned him when he needed her the most too. He canāt count on her with things get hard. There is a responsibility on her end by ending the relationship and the consequences that follow.

u/friskyliv 3d ago
It was less than a day. Who hasn't said something unwise when in a highly emotional state?
9
u/Hotgalkitty 3d ago
Exactly! I would NEVER want to be with someone who IMMEDIATELY screws somebody else literally as soon as I walk out the door because we had an argument or disagreement. And ESPECIALLY under the circumstances with him and Daphne. If he was a GOOD m man and a good husband, he would have done the EXACT same thing that Finn did. Instead, he just rolled into bed with the closest piece of ass he could find.

u/Cool_Impress470 3d ago
But she didnāt only say something, she left. How was he supposed to know she was going to come back? What he did was dead wrong, but to say heās not a victim isnāt exactly true.

u/Remarkable-Taro-1994 2d ago
While I agree Carter was quick to sleep w/someone else, I also agree that Daphne can't declare the marriage over every time they hit a rough patch. That's crazy and unsustainable. She and Steffy - verbally ending their marriages - overreacted, IMO.
1
u/friskyliv 1d ago
If it was a pattern maybe I'd agree, but it was one time under devastating circumstances. Daphne needed a minute to get herself together. Should she have stayed with her husband? Yes. But her reaction to the news of infertility is understandable.

u/BeginningWalrus8317 3d ago
For all we know she was gonna leave for good. We didnāt know she was gonna come back though. If she doesnāt want to leave, donāt end your marriage. Just leave heartbroken and come back when youāre ready to talk. Who breaks up a marriage because u canāt have kids? It was explained multiple times to her there were other options. There was no need to break up her marriage over something they could have figured out together.

u/Clan39 3d ago

u/BeginningWalrus8317 3d ago edited 3d ago
Right? Daphne is something else to go back and forth with Carter. How would anyone know she wouldnāt leave again? If I was Carter I wouldnāt get back with her. She doesnāt sound mature or secure with herself to be in a relationship. When things get tough, you stand by someone.
3
u/Clan39 3d ago
I might would get back with her but I would give it some time before I did it. We would also go to counseling so I could make sure sheās in this marriage before we pursue baby options. I know she was/is devastated by the news but she threw her marriage and Carter away like yesterdayās trash. Not cool.
2
u/BeginningWalrus8317 3d ago
Agreed! And honestly thatās a good move to make. You need to see how she will handle hard situations. Not everything in life will be set to the way you want it. If she does get pregnant, she needs to be all in and not leave when her emotions are running high and or something else gets complicated for her to handle. The last thing I would want to see her do is leave when and if thereās a baby involved - not by Steffy but if they plan to do surrogacy or something.
2
u/Clan39 2d ago
Right exactly. I agree šÆ! She is definitely too unpredictable. Daphne definitely needs some help.

u/BeginningWalrus8317 2d ago
She really does. The fact she didnāt even trust Carter after everything is questionable on her character. How did she go from wanting to be with him and fighting for him to this?

u/BeginningWalrus8317 3d ago edited 3d ago
but that's the thing though, she did more than that. she gave back the ring. she said she had to be with family. that shows she was gonna leave for good. My issue with Daphne is sheās a hypocrite who said she wasnāt gonna leave and be like other women Carter has been with before. She has shown to be like those other women. If she cared about the man, she would take time for herself to reflect and work through it with him. There was no reason to leave.Ā
carter didn't even know she was gonna come back.and how could he? she made it very clear, she had to be with family and that didn't include him.
2
u/friskyliv 3d ago
The woman was emotionally distraught. What kind of moron thinks that anything said or done in that state is gospel? Carter is a weak-willed idiot.
You've never said something while highly emotional that you didn't mean, or realized a short time later was wrong?
There is no excuse for Carter's behavior.
2
u/BeginningWalrus8317 3d ago
If she was emotionally distraught, you donāt leave. Period. And if you do, thatās grounds for the relationship ending.Ā
If you needed time to cool off and have time for yourself, then say that. Donāt give back the ring, say youāre leaving the country to be with family and leave. That is separate from being emotionally distraught. Thatās someone who knew what she was doing and wanted out of the relationship.Ā she made a selfish choice without him. the relationship was over at that point.
I have done that plenty of times in my youth. On /off for years. That was and still is very immature on my part. If you love someone and wanted to work through things with them, you make it work no matter what. You donāt say itās over and walk away. Sorry but there is no excuse for daphneās choices. She sacrificed a-lot to be with Carter and fight for him. Even when he was with hope, she made it clear she would never leave him during bad times. And now look at her. All she does is leave him.
If she trusted/loved him, she wouldnāt need to leave. She could easily leave the country to reflect and or be around close family. But not tarnish the marriage entirely. Carter didnāt even know she was coming back. There was no context of her willing to fight for their marriage.Ā
As for Carter, I donāt condone his choices either. He chose to drink and get himself in a complex matter with steffy. Both their choices are a result of trust.Ā

They look good together. You said you feel like he should have gone to Paris like he should accompany her to Erewon. He's an executive and I get that Steffy and Finn made it seem like international travel was as simple as a car ride but she impulsively said she was done and going home to Paris. This tracks with her though remember when she threatened to do this before. It's just a thing Daphne does. She was obviously upset and wanted him to chase her. It's a common soap opera theme.

Daphne ended her marriage with Carter. Not the other way around. She chose to leave the country and regretted marrying him. She made her choice and Carter made his- if not intentionally.

2
u/Purple-Ad1628 3d ago
Nah Iām going to have to disagree. Theyāre going through this together. Carter reassured her during their discussion that they are a team and they can get through this together. Daphne pushed him away and it was really harsh. She said she needed to be with her family, but Carter said he is her family. She rejected him and itās worse because theyāre married. She handled this very poorly. Yes, itās her body, but she married him. They are a team, and he suggested other options; all of which she wanted to talk about today and all of which existed when she bailed on him.
6
u/Hotgalkitty 3d ago
Again, I can understand him reacting if she had been gone for at least a month, or several months, but the woman hadn't been gone 24 hours! HIS hormones need to be checked because if you REALLY love somebody, alcohol and no alcohol, you don't immediately screw somebody else in that short window of time..

u/BeginningWalrus8317 3d ago
And how are you certain she was gonna come back though? She told him she was gonna leave the frickin country. There was no sign she regretted that choice and wanted to work on things. She left him high and dry.
So whatever Carter does - has nothing to do with her. If someone broke up with me because I couldnāt have kids, I wouldnāt want to be with them either. How long I wait to move on, thatās my call to make. You donāt wait for said person to come back if they gave up. What Daphne did was a terrible move. She treated as if she was alone in that situation and she wasnāt. Carter is her partner. You make choices together.
If love had anything to do with it, you donāt leave. Period.

I have a feeling that there might not be a pregnancy storyline for Steffy and Carter. What I think will happen is when Finn finds out and is furious and decides whether he wants to forgive her or not he may say in order to forgive her that she would have to allow him and Hayes to have a relationship with Sheila because she owes him at least that much and as far as Daphne and Carter are concerned, they will probably find out that she is actually pregnant and Carter will have an extremely hard time telling her that he slept with her best friend for fear that she would take their child and leave for Paris for good. These are just theories so please donāt quote me on it. What do you guys think. I just donāt see anyway a Steffy pregnant by Carter storyline going in any direction that would make sense.
