Good morning, dearest hostiles. My apologies for leaving you on your own this Friday, but I was traveling and it was just a small filler material bit.

We don't have much time left, and I can't even imagine how this could end on a good note with them, but I have faith.

I think I'm resigning myself to a bad note. :( Which means I will either be sadly not surprised or happily surprised!! But. :(

Doesn't Anne or Arath see what's going on?

Unless I've missed something where it changed, Arath wants them to break up because Collin is not happy in it.

And Anne is back but she missed a lot of stuff so maybe she's not sure what all's going on.

Arath seems to consider Fox a bad boyfriend even when Fox is getting along with Collin. Even if he looked past his personal dislike of Fox he's still got his opinion of Fox's merits as a boyfriend, and those seem to be seriously lacking. And, sadly, I'd have to agree with him. Fox's heart might be in the right place but Fox really hasn't been selling himself as a good boyfriend.

And I say this as someone who likes Fox muvh more than Collin.

But the thing that really seems to be bothering Collin is Fox's, well, Foxness. Add in the fact that Fox doesn't even seem to take Collin's potential feelings into his actions (and he never has) and they've hit an almost unpassable obstical.

Talking things out would eb good but I'm not sure how they could do it. Collin is apparently not saying anything, which is fairly in character for him, and Fox still hasn't grasped the full problem.

For example, remember when Collin was taken to the hospital for, kidney stones I believe? Collin had to be drugged into unconsciousness just to say that Fox being so into female attention was bothering him. Sure, Fox cut way back after learning that but he never changed the core of the problem, that he doesn't consider Collin's feelings when he does things. Fox seems willing to fix problems but until he grasps the source of their problems and actually changes their relationship is doomed. But the question becomes, can Fox change so much? Can he become less impulsive and more thoughtful? Would he want

I have to agree with you. And my own personal answers to your questions:
1: I don't honestly think Fox could change so much even if he did want to.
2: He could be...With a LOT of work. But then it just wouldn't be Foxman anymore...And that would be sad.
3: No matter how much he loves Collin...No. I don't believe Fox would WANT to change that much. I really don't.

I think what the boys really need is to get their heads out of their butts and communicate. Once that's been established, they need to find a compromise for their issues. Fox isn't the only one that could change. Collin is capable of it as well. Granted...he's even LESS likely to then Fox, but he still CAN.
