I know you have your “I Hate Robert Sugden” glasses on so no matter what I say, you won’t believe it.

As several have so eloquently put it:

The dude is stressed out.

Like, utterly and completely stressed.

PLUS *gasp* he was kidnapped, held at gunpoint, had his head smashed, learned his former stepson killed his ex-wife and ex-father in law, was nearly murdered alongside Liv, chased after Lachlan and Belle, HIT Belle with his car, found out that his son’s mother is missing and Lachlan is playing Russian roulette with her whereabouts, AND

BLAMES HIMSELF FOR IT ALL.

Also, he grew up having lost two mothers and had a shit relationship with his father. He wants better for his son and has said so repeatedly that having Rebecca in Seb’s life is utterly important to him.

So I mean. Yeah. He’s going to be snippy and bitchy. He was snippy and bitchy to the following people today:
Belle
Doug
Liv
Aaron
The police officer on the phone
Diane.

He doesn’t think he deserves the support. His anxiousness is through the roof. He’s not eating or sleeping. He’s pushing himself and pushing the villagers away.

Aaron knows Robert more than anyone. He knows that Rob pushes people away and self destructs when he’s stressed/anxious/heartbroken/terrified.

Besides, Aaron wasn’t pissed or all, “how DARE you SPEAK to ME that WAY”. He went to the pub and told his mom and Paddy he was worried about Robert because

HE KNOWS ROBERT OK. HE

KNOWS

ROBERT

(Hey, also…(using your words) remember when Aaron verbally abused Robert during the Katie storyline? Or when Gordon came back? Or all the drama post-Gordon. Or maybe right before they broke up?

Robert knew immediately something was wrong.

Psst: same thing here)
