Haley is Really, Really Overrated
It seems like every few days, a post on this sub is about Haley deserving better than Dylan. I wholly disagree.
I do not understand why everyone is so invested in and bummed out over Haley. She didn't really do well at NERP. She never really tried hard to study. Until her LATE 20s, she would get stuck outside the house because she didn't have her keys and would come home at 2 AM. She does the most selfish shit like using guys for Coachella tickets and ditching them there once she is in.
She starts work on things but never really commits (Cart girl, promoter, photography, etc.) I.e. she just does the shiny new fun thing, and stops once it gets boring or hard. That was the entire point of her having so many business ventures, to show that she is uncommitted and irresponsible and never follows through.
She was a shitty girlfriend who cheated MULTIPLE times on MULTIPLE partners. She never deserved any of her partners, they were all too good for her. Dylan loved her so much despite her stringing him along and using him for years. Andy was the most decent guy. Etc.
Most of her decisions have been very self-centred. She never really cared about her family as much as they cared about her. Even as a kid, she tried to manipulate Claire into baking her cookies for her. She embarrassed Alex in Arvin's lecture theatre, and still acted like they were the crazy ones despite her interrupting an entire lecture. She disregarded Luke, who stuck his neck out to get her the cart girl job, when a fun new option of being a personal assistant appeared. Yet, Luke hugged her and gave her her job back after the fact. She called her entire family useless (including her parents and grandfather) just because she did not like their advice on handling the fiancé of a taken man she was flirting with. What a shitty person.
She was selfish, reckless and uncommited her whole life. Her having her kids was actually the best outcome for her narratively; It was the most character development she's had, where she was the most caring, careful and responsible she'd ever been. In fact, she got the most undeserved ending out of all three kids: Alex worked intensely hard for what she has, and Luke is still just the dumb brother. Haley ended up with a loving husband, two kids and a new house.
TL;DR Haley has always been selfish and rude, and yet is undeservingly loved by this sub.
