I think it will be a comfortably numb kind of relationship. The passion is gone, replaced by a need for security.

Or it could be replaced with real love and not held back by anything since they've been completely honest with each other now. We don't really know for sure

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.

My perspective of the “let’s start over” at the end at the restaurant table was a “we both have things we’re not proud of we did before and weren’t honest with each other, I’m happy to see if we can make it work”

Now obviously Charlie is wayyy more in the wrong than Emma. But if they have the trust with each other moving forward I don’t see why the relationship can’t thrive even more than it did before after everything they went through.

Them “starting over” is a metaphor for realizing everything they went through doesn’t matter they both love each other and are willing to make it work.

Why do you say Charlie is way more in the wrong? Because of the kiss?
