Rob doesn’t seem to like Sophie right? His digs about bringing her down to earth, his comment of seemingly punishing her by living in that studio unless she asks family for money, him arguing with everything she says and always having to be right, and him having 0 tolerance for any conversation that matters to her. Either he just doesn’t like her, or there is one of those weird manosphere mindsets about her being young and needing to be directed.
Also though their relationship highlights a problem I’ve had with the 90DF universe for a while. Producers and edits heavily focus on the problems a couple has, and we have very few moments (if any) of seeing the good in any of these couples relationships which makes it impossible to root for almost anyone.
Rob is hoping Sophie will get tired of living into that shack and will ask her family for money so they can live somewhere super nice without him having to do a thing. He’s a fucking bum who thinks he hit the jackpot with a rich girl, but didn’t count on Sophie being proudly independent and not wanting to rely on her family. The way he tells her to just ask her family for money is weird af. If she wanted to do that, she would. The whole “bring her down to earth” thing ia a facade. He doesn’t want to live in that shack anymore than she does. And no, he doesn’t really like her. He likes what he thinks she can do for him.
