When Lydia Plath met up with sister Moriah Plath for Moriah to finally discuss what ex-boyfriend Max Kallschmidt had done to her, some tears were shed. Moriah, while she didn’t totally nail Lydia to the wall, you could tell that Lydia’s conscience totally convicted her and she broke down upon Moriah’s asking of why she kept in touch with Max, even though she knew that Max had cheated on Moriah and totally broken her heart.
Lydia first tried to cite the biblical verses on forgiveness and she wanted to make sure that Max knew that even though what he did was wrong she forgave him because that is what the good book says.
What mistakes was Lydia Plath referring to?
Apparently Lydia subscribes to the belief that forgiveness does not mean that you still trust that person, or that that makes what they did okay. Right, but what she did do gave some really mixed messages. It’s a strange thing that Lydia couldn’t manage to give her sister that same level of forgiveness and comfort when Moriah was trying to confide in her, yet she could provide a listening ear for Max?
Something is rotten in Denmark. Also, the way Lydia started crying when Moriah said that she met up with Max twice after they broke up? It just seemed a bit over the top for a simple misunderstanding, it almost seems like Lydia was almost caught in her own indiscretion.
But if she was, then Lydia is a better liar than we ever gave her credit for because if anything did happen between her and Max then she is not saying anything. One thing that is quite puzzling is, why twice?
Once, maybe, or perhaps a phone call or a long text message chain after such an event, but meeting up with your sisters’ ex-boyfriend who cheated on her twice to let him know that you forgive him? Seems a little fishy. Even Moriah told Lydia that she personally had no reason to be forgiving Max, because he hadn’t done anything to her.
…That we know of…
We’ll see where this goes, perhaps it was nothing more than a puppy love crush, an infatuation and that really went nowhere and was all in Lydia’s head. Still, it just seems weird that she’d have to forgive Max… twice… for hurting her sister. We know Jesus said “go the extra mile” but does that really apply in situations like this? Stay tuned!!!
