(2/2 from the old lady) My point is even the Gillovny fandom (including myself) might have this fairy tale in our heads, it may not be wise to keep wishing/wanting Gillian or David to be kept a certain way forever in real life decision on finding “the one” for themselves. Maybe she wants to see how it’s like to be with a more mature and live a more classy life in a different circle. I am not saying I like PM. (He certainly doesn’t pass my classy meter.) But it can be just a trial.

Well… I have this thing for never trying to contradict people who are older than me, especially when they talk about their own life, because you lived 15 – 20 years more than I did, so you obviously know a lot more things about life than I do. One thing that strikes me in this fandom, especially in the younger fans is that they see Gillian and Gillovny as if they were people their age, which I try hard not to do, even if it’s hard sometimes. I have no idea what it’s like to be in a relationship in your fifties and have kids and be famous and having to deal with everyone on Earth shipping you with someone despite your marriages and parters and children.
You’re probably right about her wanting a more classy and consensual relationship at this state of her life, but with Gillian’s background, with all the things she said and did, with the way we know she is and wants to be, it just doesn’t fit. It feels like wanting to be someone you’re not. It happens to all of us, at some point of our life I guess, for many reasons, but eventually, we are who we are, and I don’t think people change that much. So I agree it could be a trial, but I don’t think it’ll be a successful one.
