Do you think Lori was in the right?


I understand her frustration, but John's relationship with Ted was a huge part of who he was, and she was wrong to interfere with it. She should've either accepted it or dumped him.

I agree

They seemed alright at the end of the movie, the whole dumping him was just a plot device for the second movie, like Ali in the first Karate Kid.

Lori didn't respect the extremely unique relationship between John and Ted. It's like Lois Lane watching Clark give up his powers for her in Superman II. You just gotta say no.

To a certain extent I can understand it. It’s hard to take a relationship to the next level with a deadbeat friend clinging on. Ted didn’t aspire to be anything else, he wasn’t going to move out on his own. I agree with her as far as kicking him out. But beyond that, she shouldn’t interfere with their relationship, and it’s on John to be responsible.
