I said it before and I will say it again. Cooper started this thing with Andy when they were fucking kids. His home life was shit, so he replied on Andy. - be nice to him in private- bully him in public. get Andy to feel sorry for him until he is done using him, then push him away. Any time Andy gets some sort of self esteem or independence and starts moving away from Cooper, there is something to draw Andy back - making out in college one minute, sabotaging his thesis the next. Cast your minds back to the original internship and if it wasn't for the games Cooper played, Emery wouldn't have noticed Andy to begin with.
Do I think Andy is 100 guilt free here ? no. He obviously has more damage than being Cooper's emotional punching bag, but Jack hasn't really given us Andy's full backstory has he. whatever it is that makes Andy so dependant and such a door mat Waking around for someone who doesn't even know how to love himself maybe we don't get to know that. I DO know that Anday had thrown away at least two sound romantic partners. --I still stan emery as a good partner- even if he is older -- age gaps between consenting adults are no ones' business--
Andy sabotages his own happiness to be available for Cooper. its a disservice to himself. Cooper really needs to get his head out of his own ass. learn to love the man he is, then decide if he loves Andy. then the two of them need to grow up and decide if they are going to be monogamous or be in differing degrees of polyamory- like real grown ups. its not that hard.
