Yes they were dependant on each other... But I also mean after Adens breakdown he just had to exuse himself to everyone - to the viewers and to the other carachters espesially Belle, since she eventually took him back. I have always thought it was wrong that he had to justify himself all the time... Of course it was wrong what he did to Belle, Rachel and his father during his breakdown, but it was a breakdown... And after he came back to the bay after the clinic, he was the one who had to be strong.... Belle cheated on angelo, yes she did, but she wasn't kind to Aden either. Gave him mixed signals, said she just wanted to be friends and then touched him on his hands etc.... , and also followed him - took photos... and so on. Yes, she wasn't sure if she could trust him anymore, but she knew it was about his father/grandfater, he had only reacted in bad ways in situations related to the abuse, not in other situations. And Aden was the one who had to build himself up again after the breakdown, yes he had a lot of counciling in the clinic but to go back to daily life and try to live as normal as possible takes time after something like this.
She had Irene to talk to and when she was unsure of Aden her life was more stabile than Adens.
He was the one who had suffered a breakdown, not her.
And after that he had to show to the public/Belle that he deserved her. Every storyline they had from there were like... will Aden go through this with belle.. (the drug abuse, when she didn't tell her about the cancer etc) He owe her so much... But did he owe her anything, yes she took him back, but that was after months after she had dated Angelo and also given Aden signals that she also wanted him. But she didn't break up with Angelo. Aden needed Belles support.
After the trial, she said to him that he was the one she loved , and he just walked away from her... Everyone seemed to be angry at him for that. But what?? she was still with Angelo, and he was actually watching them when she said it to him (Aden). What was he supposed to do??
what I am trying to say is that Aden always had to change his ways because of Belle, but she didn't do that for him. she fully supported him only for a couple of weeks from the day he told about the abuse and until the breakdown. I think that Aden "drowned" in Belle, there was no mention of his family, his history anymore...
I hope we will have his storyline back on track and finished properly
