There’s no denying it.The Notebook’s Hollywood happily-ever-after easy to gush about.
Except, Allie and Noah’s relationship is literally what domestic abuse centers ring alarm bells over.
We’re not saying that Rachel should have chosen Lon.
We’re saying that there’s something seriously wrong with Noah.
WhenVoguewriter Emma Specter rewatched it, she was startled by Noah’s “weirdly vacant” eyes.
Yes, that’s called mansplaining.
But isn’t just that Noah is a slightly misogynistic jerk.
Are The Notebook’s Allie and Noah in a toxic relationship?
Since when is alcohol abuse sexy?
And who, really, aspires to a relationship with constant fighting?

“Stay with you?”
Look at us, we’re already fighting."
To which Noah responds, “Well that’s what we do.

Real life may well have been different.
It goes beyond just that.
Because, since when was threatening possible suicide to manipulate someone into a relationship with you romantic?
