Okay, so there's apparently an episode -- one of the ones with Idina, so a friend had bothered to watch and then informed me -- where Emma doesn't want Will to meet her parents because they cause her a lot of stress and higher stress levels increase OCD behaviors. She doesn't want him to see her that way; she's embarrassed.
But he insists, and so of course he gets his way! They end up treating her like shit and she freaks out and Will acts self-righteous and surprised and eventually ends up singing Fix You because you know he's going to FIX EMMA for being SO BROKEN and MADE WRONG and omfg the way the show has Will show "compassion" for OCD is... there are no fucking words. It always feels like we're supposed to think, "oh what a great guy for being willing to fix this flawed shell of a person Emma is who really he should find intolerable." Because he has no flaws or foibles of his own for her to look past! No, he can correct minor errors in the span of an episode while she is BROKEN and needs HIM to FIX her and UGH UGH UGH.
Will is a piece of shit who actually thinks he's a saint and every time Sue puts him in his place I cheer a little.
