I always feel so split about the ending. The ‘wouldn’t it be funny if this was the last time we ever talked’ thing obv that implies that Diane isn’t planning on staying in contact with BoJack and I always wonder if I’d be the same if I was her because I feel like I’d still hold on despite BoJack being a fuck up? Just because yk Diane has seen the little good BoJack can do like when he cleaned for her so if I was her I’d probably keep him at an arms length but not cut him off fully. Healthy distance yk occasional call or letter

I’m INFJ just like Diane, and no, I wouldn’t cut the contact definitely
Bojack is broken… and we are, all of us. Maybe not that much but who am I to judge…
If I was bojack I would have cut contact with diane after she broke her contract on the ghost write.
absolutely. ive met people like bojack and he was an awful person
She absolutely needs to get away from him, she’s so right to cut off contact w him. I think we don’t talk enough abt the fact that he called her, drunk and high, and told her that if she didn’t call him back, he would kill himself. She went through absolute hell thinking her best friend had died and that it was her fault.
Not to mention he did this right after she put some “healthy distance” between them – she moved to Chicago, and he leverages that against her when he calls. There’s no way for them to have any sort of healthy relationship, bc Bojack has an unhealthy dependency on her, and he’ll always drag her back in if she gives him even the slightest opening.
None of this is saying what I’d do personally, but honestly I’m not a paragon of healthy relationships lol. I’ve had some problems in the past, so now whenever I get even the slightest hint that someone might be dangerous, I cut them off without question. Ik it’s not a good way to be but it’s what makes me feel safe. I think I would’ve cut him off after just a few days of knowing him, while interviewing him for the book. But if I didn’t get there before, I definitely would have cut him off after the end of The Telescope. And if I somehow made it all the way to the end of the show w him, I would IMMEDIATELY stop talking to him after the suicide call.
The show wouldn’t have lasted past season 1 if the main characters were allowed to do the normal thing and dump Bojack’s ass for all the dumb shit he did to them.
I was in a similar position with a friend. They did the same. Called me, knowing I couldn’t be there because like Diane. I was trying to better my life. It took about 2 weeks before i found out they were okay. I didn’t see them for some time. But it was the same situation. What if this was the last time… it was. Idk if they are better or not. It’s been about 15 years now. I don’t have a reason to talk to them.
I’m glad you made it out of that friendship. I’m starting to understand Diane more now with all the replies
The last thing BoJack did was basically blaming her if he drowned because she didn’t pick up the phone. Can you imagine? My friend committed suicide and it’s blaming me
“For seven hours I couldn’t get in touch with anyone and I was sure you were dead. And it was my fault!”
I can imagine how traumatizing that must be. It probably ruined Diane’s healing process. If I remember correctly it complicated things with Guy because she started to doubt her happiness.
Very good point
Yes, but I wouldn’t have even stuck around for as long as she did. Not just because of how he treated her specifically, but his actions in general.
Very very valid
I couldn’t say. Like someone else said, I probably would have a long time ago but if the question is only for the end of the show then definitely not. I’d feel too responsible and I may be very very distant from him but I’d checkup or leave our lines of communication open in some way because he’d been such a huge part of my past
After meeting people like BoJack and identifying a fair bit with Diane, I would 100% go no contact with BoJack and anyone like him. The others like him in my life whom I can’t get away from, I gray rock or yellow rock (be uninteresting or talk only about the most mundane topics).
Life’s too short to keep someone toxic in it. They’ll only hurt you again and again.
Damn well said
If I were Diane… yes. In season 1.
No. They’ve been through too much.
See that was my thoughts but with all the replies yk i get that if Diane stayed it would have been out of guilt or pity because BoJack did fuck her up a good bit
Yes. The final season was very timely for me since I was dealing with a friend that’s very very very similar to Bojack (except he wasn’t famous back in the 90s). I had one last conversation with him after finishing the show and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I made in relation to our friendship. I still get sad about it sometimes especially with what you mentioned “the good Diane’s seen in Bojack” but I also know cutting ties with him is what’s best for myself.
If I hadn’t already cut contact, that last voice message would’ve been it. Implying it’s my fault you offed yourself would make me change my number, enter therapy, and never look back
Hell yes. I probably would have done so the first time he said horrible things to me.
