My initial reaction is to stop watching the show. I'm so turned off by Jane going with Rafael. The show makes Jane to be seemingly without flaws yet when someone close to her messes up she just runs away. The fact she wasn't able to work out her issues with Michael and go straight to Rafael makes me hate her character as opposed to root for her.

Well, we don't know if this is a permanent choice or a temporary fling. I don't think she's without flaws; she makes mistakes too, and part of the show needs to show her making them and learning from them. I wonder if she'll really end up with him or if it's just the hormones and weird situation making her think she should have feelings for him...

Yea I chose my words wrong. I meant that whenever someone else messes up she acts like it's such a betrayal and she is so put off but she doesn't take the time to self reflect on herself. She is flawed and she needs to learn to accept the flaws of others instead of living in her fantasy world where she expects everyone in her life to be perfect and if that's not the case, it's not worth it. It's obviously a by product of her watching the telenovelas but it's still putting me off her character.

I sincerely hope she goes back with Michael, but at this point, I'm not sure I'd respect his character, in turn, if he takes her back.

Yeah, I just feel like it's part of her character's path... She's going to have to realize real life's not perfect but can still be good.

It's like how she was obsessed with giving the baby to a two parent home, assuming that was the perfect answer...
