But not this one."

It degrades their love story.
It’s so disappointing.”

This couple stood for something greater for me,“she wrote on Twitter.
This hits hard tbh.”

“I know someone in my family who has experienced this.
There’s truth to it.”
He also reiterated that Craig indeed loves Nancy and can understand fan reaction.
“Craig doesn’t not love Nancy.
He never meant to go out and maliciously hurt her …
They were in high school together.
They set out to conquer life together.
That’s why they had so much fun.
They loved each other, appreciated each other.
