I villainized the man I was in love with and cursed him to hell and back for not "treating me right", but now I see that it was my fault for even clinging on in the first place when it was obvious he was not interested in something serious. You can't love someone into loving you, and it wasn't his fault he didn't feel that way about me. I think a lot of sasusakus are still trapped in that thinking, wanting Sasuke to grovel for not liking her back sooner and hurting Sakura in the process, when he had much bigger things to worry about and he never asked for Sakura to break her back over him, only telling her to leave him alone. Of course, the whole point of the show is that they didn't leave him alone and that's a good thing, and it ended up being what saved him, but Sasuke shouldn't be blamed for their stubbornness. He didn't ask for any of it and is not responsible for their actions.
