A big part of Finn’s problem is his mother. Finn was clingy, but Emma was practically taking his measurements for a wedding tux. Plus her constant attacks on Leyla meant that Pete was too busy defending his girlfriend to notice what was going on with Kasim. Meanwhile, Ross has always struck me as supportive but uncomfortable about his brother’s sexuality, so his default response to Finn’s relationships will to be happy for him but inattentive unless Finn asks for his advice. I expect Aaron to help if only because he’d be prone to chafing under that type of smothering and could get what was feeling.
Finn could definitely benefit from a gay mentor for guidance. I’m not sure any of the gays on the canvas currently qualify, though. Aaron might be okay but as far as we know he doesn’t have much experience dating either. His mother and brothers are cheerleaders but don’t have much useful advice for him.
I have little doubt Robert will cheat on Aaron at some point in the future, probably after they are married. It would not surprise me if he cheats with a female. It would be more interesting than them playing happy families in their new home with Liv – where Robert will presumably be living rent-free and can be kicked out.
I assume Clary takes for granted that every guy is into her (although she probably sees it as acting normally) and considers guys like Alec who don’t give her deference are jerks.
How long until Tracy bankrupts David with her free spending? Her having no savings to pay rent after months of working full time and living rent free at the B&B should have been a red flag.
What Finn really needs is for a friend to tell him that his and his mother’s clinginess was the entirety of his problem with Kasim. I guess getting him laid might help with his confidence, but it looks like he’s just going to repeat his same mistakes with the next guy.
I’d be a bit insulted by Robert’s explanation of why he wouldn’t cheat if I were Aaron. Aaron should be proud of building up his own business. It might not have been as lucrative as seducing an aging closet case and his miserable daughter, but that’s no reason to belittle it. Besides it really didn’t address Aaron’s concerns. Does anyone believe that Robert wouldn’t hop into bed with someone else if there were enough profit in it for him (or even if he were just frustrated with Aaron at the moment).
