I'm gonna be alone in this, but I think Anna is not the villain here. Neither is Tobi, or Colette, or anyone. People fall out of love all the time, it's a fact of life Anna seems nice

(Correct me if I said something different before) But I kind of agree here, now that I think about it. My parents fell out of love too (my mom remarried and my dad stopped talking to the family), and once you fall out of love, there isn't much reason to stay together. However, if all you ever do is fall out of love, then... Hmmmm... Not gonna support it, but not gonna criticize it either. Though I do agree with everybody else that before simply giving up, you should at least try to fix things first...
@XSimMimX and @SilentWolf101 you guys both offer an interesting perspective! I do agree, SimMim, that (the way things currently stand, at least) no one is really at fault. Feelings change over time for sure. And Anna is a pretty sweet girl
However, I would agree with Wofly that you should try to figure things out before giving up too!
Now, all that being said, are we sure Colette and Tobi have actually fallen out of love? It's hard to say... I think they're both struggling right now for sure. That much is clear. And Tobi is in a super vulnerable place right now...
I think this song is a great theme song for their current story arc
Sorry for my cynicism, I've always been a skeptic. It's just that I feel like their relationship was doomed from the start. No union formed in response to panic lasts long.
Here is our last daily update (for now, at least!). I hope you've enjoyed them There will be no new chapter tomorrow -- Mondays and Fridays are gonna be my "days off" this summer

@XSimMimX you're not the first one to mention about them rushing into things, so I get what you're saying! You may be the lone person not flying the #TeamToCo flag haha you get points for being a rebel. I was so sure everyone shipped them!
And yes @JoieWilder that is the bar where he and Stefan were conceived but he'll never know that

I actually semi-agree with you here! I don't think Anna is a villain at all. Not saying what they're doing is right, not saying I approve. But all she's done so far is show she would be up for stuff if Tobi is. That does not a villain make. Someone who makes poor choices, perhaps. At least I haven't gotten the idea she's all in it for his money or somethign. :P
But we should know I'm a sucker for folks who make poor choices (*cough* Deigo *cough*)

This is all true, but he hasn't actually made a poor choice yet. And we don't even know what her angle is because we're learning about her through Tobi's jaded eyes. My actually first thought about her was that she calls him "Mr. Rosebrook" to keep things professional between them. True, she could have ulterior motives, but we don't actually know that. However, our concern should lie with Tobi because situations that we're all speculating about all begin with innocent-ish thoughts in your mind...and he's definitely having some thoughts. The thoughts themselves aren't wrong, buuuuut people tend to run away with their thoughts. Let's hope our boy isn't one of them. I personal don't think he is, but what do I know?
I especially am confused because usually when relationships deteriorate like this, the woman doesn't feel an attraction to her mate even if they are handsome like Tobi. But she is...how can she keep her hands off him?? She has this desire. But maybe she feels him being cold to her...that's sad. A vicious cycle.

@pammiechick Hahaha like I said to someone on WP, I think sometimes talking is easier said than done in situations like this. Plus, both Tobi and Colette have, quite unfortunately, kind of begun accepting their current situation as their "new normal". To them, it's a helpless/inevitable situation, so they're just letting it happen instead of fighting to stay together. Which is definitely NOT what they should be doing, but... they're Rosebrooks, what can I say?
And as for her attraction to Tobi, it's a little complicated. She's almost punishing herself here She still feels a strong sexual attraction to him, but she doesn't want to sleep with him anymore because their sex life has become very cold and passionless, thanks to the growing distance between them and lack of emotional intimacy It's basically like going through the motions just to get off... And Colette doesn't want that.
Marriage counseling would help them so much right now. But one of them has to take that step. And it's not happening

Hey, pssst, Tobi. That's the bar you were conceived in.
And also, don't go getting any ideas with Miss Magic Hands!
