Michelle closes her eyes at Ted's accusation, aware that he's got a point and a right to lash out at her. She doesn't argue with him, aware that he's got a very valid point and she messed that one up.
Jake. Had became a calming presence in her life, had given her back a sense of normality she and Ted and lost completely. Jake had turned exactly into what she had needed, how could she let that chance go? Even if that meant screwing things up... Their happiness and a little stability was worth it.
Meanwhile, what is Ted doing with his life? Working for a school and dating a girl that's barely out of it?
Huffing out a breath, she shifts the way she stands on her spot, still unnable to look at Ted in the eye. "She's young, Ted. And you are tying her up to something that's unbelievably hard." She's tempted to tell him that she knows from experience, but is aware of how cruel that would be. She's sure he is well aware of how his human self has already plenty of baggage. But sharing the weight of what it is like to protect a werewolf?
Michelle herself had been positive that she could help him endure that curse. It crushed her heart to realize she was not strong enough, their marriage was strong eough. "What happens as she starts growing older and realizes she's missing out on things girls her age are doing?" Poeple her age go out and party, they don't just tie themselves into long lasting relationships. "Have you even asked her if she wants kids of her own?"
