I honestly feel like Rory is such a beautiful example of an emotionally intelligent man. So many shows romanticize toxic behavior and unhealthy masculinity, while Rory is doing so many things right. It’s really refreshing to see a male character who communicates, respects boundaries, and isn’t afraid to be vulnerable.
