Y'all know I'm a passionate Mike defender and apologist. However, that doesn't mean I agree with everything he's done. He's said some pretty shitty things and hurt his friends before and I don't agree with that but I believe there is much more to him than the bad he's done. I also believe that people have hurt him just as much as (or more than) he's hurt other people.
People act like Mike consistently hurts El and never feels sorry and they act like El has never hurt him.
Yes, the fact that he couldn't tell El he loved her until her life was in damher sucks especially since he wasn't being entirely honest. (he loves her, just not romantically)
The thing is, Mike never felt entirely secure in their relationship or entirely safe to be upfront with his feelings. El often showed a lot of disapproval of the things he likes and she completely dismissed his trauma when he was trying to explain that he's been bullied before and he wants her to understand that he knows what it's like and she's not the only one.
People get mad at Mike for not helping El earlier on when she was being bullied at the skating rink but how was he supposed to know she was being bullied when El painted their life out to be perfect?
Though I don't blame El for any of the relationship problems she and Mike have, I do not think it is entirely Mike's fault. They're both at fault for not being honest and open when they should've been.
Also, Mike definitely regrets hurting El, but sometimes he doesn't realize what he's done is hurtful.
I mentioned this in a post before, but Mike may have realized his feelings toward El weren't romantic and was ready to break up with her, but after Will told Mike she needed him, he was scared he would hurt her even more.

Yes, I am Mike apologist but I'm also an El apologist. I could never judge her for anything. I know what if feels like to know that yeah others suffer too but your suffering is worse because you are just so different, absolutely no one around is like you.

milevens don’t want to admit it but i feel like the majority of them have reduced el to just being mike’s interest and occasionally saving the world and that’s it

“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.”
