How do you fail an open note test?!????

This story really pissed me off from the very start.
I had an assumption for where the story would go, but it never really did that.

She gets to go back and rediscover her interest without the weight of a relationship, but not really. She ends up giving it all up for their marriage AGAIN!! If that was it, I could charge it to the game and walk away with a 7.

Her husband is trying to identify the faults in the relationship and win her back, but not really. THIS is where my frustration really lies. I know this feels like it is supposed to play out like a love triangle, but that's not what this show is. That young boy was NEVER going to win. He was a foil to the ML .There was no universe where that relationship would have succeeded. She IS a grown woman and she was ALWAYS going to get those memories back. However, he fought like hell going down.

Imagine having a complete knowledge of shared history, her likes, her dislikes, no past traumas nor money problems holding you back, and still end up winning by a technicality. He won because he had no choice but to. It felt insulting that he didn't even try. When his wife came back, he had every opportunity and resource to become the man she needed but what does she come back to instead? An unemployed bum who is living for himself AGAIN. I guess this time he's not weighed down by self imposed ideals of responsibilities.
