No one was holding a gun to Regina’s head. She could have walked away. Why did she even go through with the wedding? While this has been debated, I think Regina had already pushed Cora through the looking glass before she said her vows.
Tword issues. I remember this debate. I’m still not 100% sure. She was wearing her wedding dress when she pushed Cora through the mirror. Either her wedding had just taken place (in which case Cora was holding a sort of gun to her head) or it was just about to take place, meaning she couldn’t get away.
I think adultery is adultery. I don’t think falling in love with someone while that person is still married to someone else is enough to justify breaking a marriage vow. Too many people think today that if it feels good, it must be okay.
I do agree that adultery is adultery. But this wasn’t a case of following some hedonistic desire. The king doesn’t love her. She doesn’t love the king. And to bring this back up, something KFC and Kat have mentioned, we don’t know what Tink was encouraging (either than meeting him) and we don’t know when this guy is her new soul mate. I don’t think Tink was encouraging her to go in there and knock boots with him. It was: go meet him. And then if it’s TL you can quietly divorce the king or have him set you aside.
