14. The Problematic Thing Is I Love You

As to be expected in a relationship like Mark and Bridget, the two continually fight. She thinks that he’s embarrassed by her and he gets tired of her continually lashing out and not talking to him in a civil manner.

So they have big blow out fights rather than casually talking about their problems. And this results in the most innocent show of affection Mark Darcy has shown thus far: his proclamation of love.

They go to an event for Mark and when he doesn’t sit with her at the table and shakes his head at her on numerous occasions, Bridget comes to the conclusion that he didn’t want her to come in the first place.

So the two fight on the way home and Bridget thinks she’s ruined it. Mark, however, shows up at her apartment to talk to his girlfriend. And when she doesn’t immediately let him up, he says through her speaker “The problematic thing is I love you”.

What makes Mark extremely appealing in this scene is that despite his obvious discomfort in screaming his love for her through a speaker, he continues to do it to please Bridget. He’s willing to sacrifice his own comfort level to make her feel better and that makes him a truly amazing love interest.
