GAME TIME: What personality trait/negative would make dating your favorite RDR character difficult?

I brought this question up after receiving an ask about Abigail and I asked the question in my discord server.  If this question is cringey, oh well.  Formatting is screwed up on mobile but it should show a keep reading thing For the question - I don’t mean stuff like “They’re not real. They died.”. I mean a personality quirk, habit, a situation etc. Compatibility with YOU is optional. What about your ships!? Either Reblog or Tag me with your answer.

I’m predictable as fuck. I chose Abigail or John.. Ot3 would be nice but I’m talking separately for me. TLDR for both - both are stubborn and fiery and I wouldn’t know what to do with an older Jack disrespecting them. I’d alo worry about John’s drinking. Pros: Both romantics, good cuddles, loyalty.  If you want me to explain. John:

 John needs boundaries. Dating anyone ever needs healthy boundaries. He has a temper and is stubborn af. If he gets nasty and unhealthy - then that’s not okay. Younger John is sometimes willfully ignorant and a little arrogant. He has times where he is a man child. Then there is the problem with Abigail and Jack. If this an amicable breakup - no problem. If it wasn’t, then there would have to be minimum contact.   I could deal with John during RDR 2′s timeline, but I would be far happier dating John older. Rdr 1 John is perfection. We’d run to Canada. Could be a pro or a con - but he wants another child. For me - it’d only work if we adopted because....health. However, I think he is kind of easy to date? He has a lot of trauma and that cannot be ignored not just with him, but any of the gang members.  I think someone who is kind, affectionate - but doesn’t allow him to get away with bullshit is the way to win him over. Encourage him. Tell him he did a good job. Say he’s handsome, intelligent, etc. Feed him. That doesn’t make trauma go away, of course. I would also struggle with what to do with Jack as the step-parent. I wouldn’t let him disrespect John or I.  Another problem for me is the same as if I dated most male characters. I don’t like traditional gender roles. I do not want to cook and clean and serve all day. I’d want to be like Sadie and Jake where it’s split and from what I can see - John does NOT want to do ANY cooking or cleaning. In fact, he seems kind of mean/demeaning about it at times? I  understand he does a lot of hard work and I would do the same with animals. I would need it to be equal. I don’t think he whores around or drinks like Abigail implies he does. I just don’t believe it - but I would worry if he drank too much.

For Abigail:  First - same as above - if John and Abigail split amicably - no problem. If not amicable - minimum contact.  Like John, Abigail can be fiery and emotional. Boundaries. I don’t see Abigail fighting with anyone else. She usually only fights when she wants Jack to be treated well or if she is scared that YOU are going to hurt yourself.  For the most part - she’s reasonable with what she expects from John. (Except helping Mr. Geddes - I’m bitter about that.) I think being logical helps - but stepping away and letting both cool off is smart ,too.  Abigail needs an equal that she can feel safe around.Make her feel intelligent and that she is more than just a mother or her past as a working girl.  She wants to love and be loved. She knows she doesn’t have as much to offer as some might, but she’s a hard worker. She loves fiercely. She put up with so much shit and anyone who shows her even the smallest bit of kindness is rewarded.I think she can be very cute and girly. She and John are both romantics. She’s very loyal to the point it hurts her. Make her feel heard and loved and I think you’re good to go. Also gives 10/10 cuddles. The only thing that would suck is that you’d have to teach her to cook. However, I think I wouldn’t have to worry about splitting chores with her. She does all the house work AND leaves the house to work at a doctor’s office. I think if I didn’t have an outside job, then my tasks would be different? I don’t think she is as willing to adopt a child, but she might.

FOR BOTH:  Again, I would struggle with what to do with Jack. I think Abigail is overall a good parent, but she seems to be at her wit’s end by the time Jack is a teen. This is normal - but she does cry a lot about some of the disrespect she gets. That would really hurt to watch and I wouldn’t put up with it easily. Same with John. Yes, he’s a teen and it’s understandable he’s angry. As the step-mother, that’s really hard because I technically don’t have the right to discipline? Out of curiosity - For those who have been in this situation - what do you do?

I’d be happier with either one - or both. ;)  What about your ships!? Either Reblog or Tag me with your answer.
