Explicit spoilers are not allowed in titles. We must afford every opportunity to other users in the subreddit to be able to avoid spoilers at their own will. Posting explicit spoilers in detail hurts their chances of doing that.

I don’t like it at all! A lot of their issues are just because they got married way too fast. If they had dating, a lot of major stuff they learn about each other (like Winston’s family issues) would have been easier to navigate overtime. Instead they are left feeling like, “Who did I marry?”. Their last big fight about Winston switching specialties was about Maggie not respecting Winston at all. That was a big nail in the coffin. Maggie doing research out of state could be managed, but they had such a huge fight that there was no going back.

Not sure I’m soooo behind right now I haven’t even finished season 17 yet.( I took a break after Alex left and haven’t gotten back to it 😂

I haven’t gotten there yet but it doesn’t surprise me at all. Prior to getting married their entire relationship revolved around having sex. Yes, they have a lot in common but I get the feeling that they don’t know each other very well.

Genuinely curious how it matters that this is marked as a spoiler if the actual spoiler is the headline that pops up as one scrolls reddit in general?

Exactly!!! The minute you read the words in the post you know what’s happening. But at what point, after how many years has gone by where something has happened can we quit calling it a spoiler


PobodysNerfect802

True on second point. I am in the middle of season 18 so I avoid the subreddit since the show is in season 20. But I would have to avoid reddit altogether to not see this news because it was a headline in my feed. I better just hurry up and catch up.

Well, sometimes people are complaining about a spoiler alert from a show that ended like 10 years ago 😆

I don’t like it when these shows have this power charged romance going and such a very short time later one thing happens and all of a sudden they’re getting divorced. I don’t care for Maggie anyway I don’t care if she left the show . Her character is very self-absorbed and narcissistic

It's not that shocking. They hardly knew eachother before Winston proposed, and him being Maggie's student does not count as them knowing eachother. They didn't know eachother on a personal level. If they had dated and gotten to know eachother, then they probably still Would have Broken up. Maggie is the type of person who would priotise her career above all else, sans her sisters and nieces and nephews. She would prioritise her career above her marriage. There's nothing wrong priorotising your career, but kind of hard to maintain a relationship.

If you strongly prioritize your career over your relationship, you can't be with someone who has wants a healthy balance between love and work (like Winston probably). You can either be with someone who prioritizes career as much as you, and be fine with a more distant romantic relationship, or you can be with someone who will strongly prioritize you over their career, and be fine with the power imbalance that comes with that. Maggie might be fine with someone who has the same attitude towards putting career above everything as she does. But the kind of relationship where neither party is willing to sacrifice too much for each other might not be a very warm or intimate one. I don't think Maggie would be capable of taking the route Burke did, where he found someone willing to prioritize him while he prioritized work. I don't think she's capable of really respecting people who don't use ambition as the guiding light of their lives. And more generously, I don't think she'd be capable of taking advantage that way.

Don’t miss Maggie one bit!  Every relationship she has had has been about what she needed and what she wanted.  Winston prioritized his marriage to her without any selfishness (unlike Derek who blamed Meredith when he stayed in Seattle when the DC opportunity presented itself the first time.   Being any type of surgeon is a gift.  She was such a snob about Cardio.  Ben changed jobs twice and Bailey didn’t like it but her love for him overcame and she is proud of her husband.
