Even Gina with her "you just don't do that, steal someone else's man" stuff. You can't steal someone who isn't willing to be stolen, it was never Hazels responsibility to make sure that Daley was faithful to his girlfriend, at all. There seems to be this idea that men can be "lead" or "stolen" by some evil temptress and ruin an otherwise good relationship... of COURSE you see this in films and pop culture all the time but it's nonsense. Daley is FULLY to blame for his actions with Hazel.

As far as that goes, they are each fully to blame for two different things. He is fully to blame for cheating, she is fully to blame for what basically amounts to sexual harassment (if a woman was pushing a man away saying no no no no, I'm serious, no, go away, and the man was forcing himself down towards her, saying he wouldn't go away until he got a hug, people would be livid). He should know better than to cheat, she should know better than to constantly harass someone in a relationship (and that goes for both Daley and Dan).

Talking about Hazel's role is not giving Daley a free pass, just like talking about Daley's is not giving Hazel a free pass.
