luke’s behavior during lorelai’s engagement

i can smell the downvotes from a mile away, but i was so turned off by luke the first time i watched the show when i saw how he acted during lorelai’s engagement to max. i feel like nobody talks about it because he did such a sweet thing by making her a chuppah and he did eventually show up to her engagement party, but i hated how he was intentionally messing with her head.

he couldn’t stop himself from trying to psyche her out and make her question her decision. if he was really concerned that she was potentially making a bad decision and was being too hasty, he could have pulled her aside and talked with her honestly about whether or not she knew what she was jumping into. instead, he hurled questions at her to make her doubt going through with it.

it all boils down to complete immature jealousy and i don’t know why lorelai gets called out for it constantly on this sub while luke is off the hook. no one was stopping him from making a move on lorelai and asking her out. it was his choice to wait eight years.

i love luke in general, but sometimes i feel like he gets too much of a pass. i know people find it so funny how he acted when lorelai told him he was engaged because he didn’t give her a real reaction, but i just can’t get on board with it.
