What if Nate and Cassie had broken up at the beginning of Season 3?

After the breakup, Nate realizes he still loves Maddy. He sincerely apologizes for everything he put her through and genuinely works hard to earn back her trust instead of expecting forgiveness. Eventually, they get married. Their relationship isn't perfect they still argue and clash like they always have but despite everything, they always find their way back to each other.

Meanwhile, Cassie has to rebuild her life after the breakup. She grows as a person, becomes more independent, and eventually reconciles with Maddy, repairing their friendship.

With Maddy by his side, Nate becomes emotionally stronger and more mature. Together, Nate and Maddy face the challenges posed by Nate's father, Cal, as a united team.

Would this have made for a more interesting Season 3 than the one we got?

Give me your honest opinions🫠

I'm a doctor, and med school was incredibly demanding.
Passing professional exams was challenging enough, and the constant stress took a toll on me. I gained weight during that time. Now I'm preparing for NEET PG, which is another extremely competitive and mentally exhausting exam.
What hurts isn't just the weight gain-it's the lack of emotional support.
Since day one, I've had no shoulder to lean on. Instead, I've faced body shaming from people around me. My mom constantly brings up my weight and tells me it'll be difficult to find a good groom if I don't lose it. I've explained to her that my priority right now is clearing NEET PG, and once it's over, l'll fully dedicate myself to losing weight. But she still keeps bringing it up, making me feel guilty.
She even chose my undergraduate convocation day—a day that was supposed to be special—to remind me that I hadn't lost weight. Instead of celebrating my achievement, she said hurtful things that stayed with me.
It's not like I'm doing nothing. I control my cravings, try to eat mindfully, and do what I can while preparing for one of the toughest exams. I just can't commit to an intense weight-loss routine alongside this preparation.
Has anyone else experienced family members focusing more on your appearance than your mental well-being during a stressful phase of life? How did you deal with it?
