I get that the male lead was heartbroken by his wife leaving, and he's having trouble opening his heart again. But making him be so blatantly cynical and anti-marriage just made him unlikable. A divorce lawyer can still wish a newlywed couple the best, and accept that many marriages are happily successful.
Both parents were terrible control freaks with their kids. I understand being alarmed by your kid dropping out of school. And the son could have called his mom weeks earlier and told her that he was getting serious with somebody. But that doesn't excuse the parents' behavior. They deserved the scolding that their kids eventually give them.
Also, I don't know much about veganism. But wouldn't a vegan object to fishing and cow-milking and harvesting chicken eggs?
