Grey’s Anatomy Fans Can’t Help But Cringe Over George And Callie’s Relationship – Looper

There’s plenty to be said about George and Callie’s incompatibility over their relationship’s multi-season arc. Callie spends much of the time being jealous of George’s judgy besties, Meredith and Izzie (her instincts turn out to be correct when George hooks up with Izzie), and cheats on George with Mark. George, meanwhile, can barely muster an “I love you” and then impulsively marries Callie while he’s grieving his father. To add to the relationship’s juvenile undertones, Callie even compares the hospital to “high school with scalpels.”

Some fans think the relationship didn’t have the juice from the jump. For u/kaiaslair, it was hard to watch “those 2 attempting a believable relationship.” Speaking of the Season 2 prom-themed finale, “Losing My Religion,” the Redditor added, “She was so desperate for him and he so wasn’t. So rough to watch.” u/blackkittymeowmeowww concurred: “They were such an awkward couple.”

George and Callie lacked chemistry and treated each other horribly, and their breakup triggered a sigh of relief among their biggest detractors. Unfortunately, it also ushered in an even more cringey relationship: George and Izzie. “I was so happy when [George and Callie’s] relationship ended,” recalled u/Noahneckaneo. “Then … I had to deal with him and izzie smh.”
