So far a lot of the stuff he’s done to her isn’t outright, it’s subtle, but I see it getting progressively worse and it makes me upset that they are putting this female character who has a lot seems to have a lot of self respect in a relationship where the male has all the power. It makes laurel seem like she’s stupid and naive when she is not. There isn’t even a very strong basis for her growing feelings and the only thing that seems natural is their sexual attraction. I have nothing wrong with her wanting to get down and dirty with frank, in fact it’s something that I actually like about the dynamic. It’s nice to see a female character be unapologetically sexual, but outside of the sexy times I think the relationship is a disservice to both characters. 

He makes her feel bad about wanting to have sex with him by saying she is using him for his body when he was the one to start pursuing her. He makes this big ol stink about getting to know the real him while lying to her at every turn. He acts offended for accusing him of murdering a girl even though he’s done just that. I know he is trying to protect himself but the way he does it with laurel makes her feel stupid and like she is going insane,which she even brought up to Wes after she went through his stuff.

That scene in the car makes me really uncomfortable. Not only was frank dismissing Laurel, he was talking to her like she was being irrational and then even had the gal to get her to play his lil errand girl. Laurel was obviously upset with being treated that way, but all the fandom seems to think is that it’s “cute and domestic uwu” completely ignoring that Laurel herself was obviously upset about it and before someone tries to say that michaela was also being like that to laurel, michaela isn’t dating laurel. The car scene showed the audience that the power dynamics of their relationship isn’t equal and when it comes down to it, Frank will just do whatever he thinks is best while laurel needs approval.
