</p><p>Listen, mate, I might be one of the few who is on your side with this. Maybe it's because i'm a girl. Although I think other girls responded as well.
</p><p>Here's the scoop- I think it's hella shady to get involved with someone else when you still have feelings for someone else. I like to call it "emotionally cheating" because you aren't exactly completely committed to the new person. Even though it wasn't 100% clear when Mako and Asami ended things, I didn't like that he immediately jumped right into a relationship with Korra. Personally, I don't think it's very healthy, people need time to really get their *ish together before jumping into a relationship with someone else. But again, this IS a cartoon, and to be honest, guys and girls do this stuff all the time, so really, the creators got it spot on. They were able to portray how most young adults act towards relationships- immature.
</p><p>Myself, personally, I take relationships seriously. And again, that's just the way I work. If i'm with someone, I make sure i'm fully available- physically and emotionally. If i'm still hung up on someone else, even if I don't have a chance with them, I don't date. I make sure to get that out of my system, only because, I like to treat others the way I want to be treated. How can I expect someone to give me their heart completely when I can't give them mine? Again, not everyone thinks that way. For me, being in a relationship and being intimate is something I reserve for ONE person, that includes emotional and physical intimacy.
</p><p>As far as the relationship between Korra and Asami, I don't know how they do it. I don't have ANY girlfriends who would be okay with me dating their exes (and vice versa), no matter how things ended. And personally, I find it really disrespectful and gross to be intimate with someone that my friends were intimate with. Again, just my opinion. Anywho, just saying i'm on your side. I think Mako is gross. But a heck of a fire bender.
