I don't know if someone has already spoken this theory in existence (I'm new in the fandom but I'm sure someone's already thought about it at least), but I had a horrible thought that is now basically a headcanon for me.
Say Eddie was openly bi/pan/demi/queer in his teens to his family for one reason or another with their reactions varying. What if when Chris was conceived, one of the reasons the Diaz parents were so insistent that Eddie and Shannon get married was to get their son in a "straight" relationship? I mean, they disliked/hated Shannon and made her life hell, so one more reason for the pressure applied could be that?
I hate my mind for going there, but honestly, I see it from them.

Thinking about bi Eddie and “performing” and Ana and the Dove Cameron interview I just saw where she talked about her relationships with men before she came out as liking men AND women as painful and like a “shoe that didn’t fit” because of the persona she was putting on (even though she is attracted to men, her personal identity was still compromised).

"Look, you hid in a place you knew, where you could feel safe... I understand the motivation."
Buddie fans... Sometimes I just feel tired to navigate this fandom, okay. Feels like it's always;
"Gay Eddie, gay Eddie, gay Eddie.... Oh no! They're now writing him like he really loved Shannon, I don't like this because then he's straight and buddie cannot happen!!"
Yeah umm... And why would Eddie's love for Shannon be any kind of threat to buddie?
Haven't we already worked on this equation before, guys...?
Ahem.
✨Bisexuality does exist!✨
There is no reason why Eddie can't have loved, can't still love them both:
Shannon and Buck.
Sure, might sound odd with how rocky the marriage was but let's remember that we never got to see the beginning of Eddie's and Shannon's romance, the magical era before their naïve, immature highschool sweetheart romance was hit on the head with adulthood problems.
Really, Shannon isn't a threat to buddie. Buck obviously loved Abby, too, and eventually moved on.
The thing is, it was maybe just a bit easier for Buck, to move on, since what Abby didn't do was know Buck for like half his life, have a child with him, suddenly abandon Buck and his child for umm years, then return and beg for forgiveness, then once she was forgiven... reject Buck's proposal and ask for a divorce, and then promptly die in front of Buck. As a nice juicy cherry on top of this already very well baked "bye bye mental health"-cake.
All of this might, you know, kinda traumatise someone and make the grieving process extra hard, and make regaining trust in people and love kinda tricky, and overall, make moving on a fairly slow, complicated uphill battle.
Doesn't mean it's impossible!
And yes I know, obviously Eddie romanticizes Shannon. That's what people who are grieving tend to do!
That doesn't mean he never loved her. Flaws and conflicts can co-exist with love, you know. I mean, I don't know about you guys but everyone I've ever loved has been flawed, and all of my deepest human relationships have sailed through some rocky terrain.
The love has been the most persistent passenger on all of those rides. I think some rocks I've sailed through with people have even made our love deeper. Because sometimes conflicts make the relationships more intense, make you get to know the other person a bit better, conflicts can pull you closer to each other. So yes, even if you happen to get close because you just really need to yell at their face... Well, what you're feeling in that moment is hardly indifference, is it.
And also, with the way Eddie has also been throwing heart-eyes at Buck, for years...? Before Shannon returned and asked for forgiveness, even.
Clinging to this concept of a magical romance with Shannon might just be Eddie's safe place to hide, his avoidance tactic, the way he hides most of his (seemingly) unrequited feelings for Buck from himself, and others.
Maybe Eddie thinks he cannot really love Buck that much... if Shannon is the greatest love of his life. To Eddie it might feel like it's just not safe to love Buck because loving Buck would likely just lead to more pain.
So that may be one reason why Eddie has been clinging to this idea of a perfect, magical romance with Shannon, one reason why we're hearing all this
"Shannon, oh Shannon, you are the love of my life, the only person I've ever loved."
Maybe it's because to Eddie, that must be true. It's how he protects himself from pain.
And it's also how he cherishes the memory of her. Because confronting her humanity, the reality of how troubled their relationship was... might mean letting go of her, and moving on from her, and that's hard because Eddie loved her, and he doesn't really want to confront the truth.
And the truth is that the fairytale is over, that she was in fact very much a human, just a person, just another mortal like the rest of us... Flawed.
And that means that she wasn't untouchable, that death really took her and she's truly gone.
