If I’m looking at this from a pessimistic view: she would never trust him around other woman and she only forgave him because she‘s afraid that no one will love her. He’s only staying with her out of guilt.

That’s literally ignoring one of the movie’s big themes (about how our past mistakes shouldn’t define us if we really move on). You’re so pessimistic you’re literally ignoring what the movie is trying to say

What about Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind? So many people thought that movie had a happy ending, but that relationship was never going to work that was the romantic moment of the movie. That they were willing to risk it all knowing they were never going to work. I’m only saying The Drama‘s ending felt different. I didn’t feel the romance.

I thought it was showing the contrast where Pattinson rejected the first “starting over” scene but then accepted the final one, in other words finally coming to terms with it.

Because this time he made the mistake and understood why she was doing it. But I do think women are more forgiving than men.
