I have been on here since Robert and Aaron (cannot call them Robron at the moment) started, some people will not like what I have to say but its a free world and I have been on here long enough to feel I can.
I love Robert & Aaron together and am sorry they have gone down the cheating route with Robert but they have and we are now on an unknown journey. After all the character development and promises of openness/love/sincerity and above all faithfulness its inconsistent with the past 12 months and spoils the care and attention take to get to they stage of their non-wedding. The fact that Robert would have died with Aaron in SSW and he has stuck by Aaron without being tempted to see other people (no-one comes close) throughout that time is testament to how much he loves Aaron. I see the sleeping with Rebecca as him definitely being totally at the lowest ebb, missing Aaron, feeling lonely and abandoned and also wanting to punish Aaron for jeopardising his release and their future with the drug taking and pedalling.
I believe he sees sleeping with Rebecca as a big error of judgement (he didn't appear that drunk), he has let Aaron down (as he said to Aaron in prison), he is guilty and sorry that he was weak. Old Robert would not have been sorry he would have sought out how to hide it and to the extreme kill someone to hide the truth (Katie/Paddy/Lodge etc ...), new Robert told Chas (not easy) and new Robert was going to tell Aaron no matter how much it would have hurt. I agree with many, telling Aaron in prison would not have been wise but he was prepare to do it to be honest and open, remember "no more secrets".
I think if you sit back and take all this in to consideration and then think about his behaviour with Aaron, Rebecca and generally it is consistent with someone who is embarrassed and guilty, wanting to protect the person he loves (Aaron), wanting to manage the situation as carefully, honestly and compassionately as possible (with her and Aaron). I think some of the direction and scripting is pretty ropey as everyone is getting unclear messages (or maybe thats the plan), we do not know where this is going and there are numerous wild assumptions on here which may or may not come to fruition.
I think my point is that for the most part since late 2014 early 2015 have been a positive APPRECIATION thread (with some moments of negativity) it is turning in to a SPECULATION thread creating huge amounts of angst and worry.
As an appreciation thread we need to comment on the actions seen in the episodes as they air, I am totally on the page that things are pretty grim and unclear at the moment and I agree that the Rebecca thing is an error that should not have happened so soon after the wedding. I for one am totally unsure where this is going and how they are going to handle this situation moving forward but I will take one episode at a time and watch with interest. I do feel that if things on here don't stop with the pages and pages of speculation that I will stop visiting as its almost worse that some of the tripe IanMc have been serving up.
