Owen and Amelia

They just don't work as a couple, for me. The actors don't have much chemistry on screen and their relationship feels forced.

Now they're married, which seems incredibly rushed.

Until Amelia denies him his wishes and he cheats again.

He did it to his first fiance when GI Joe forced his tongue down Cristina's throat first time he showed up in Seattle to show off his streetstyle army chop skills, and he broke his engagement up through an email.

He did it to Cristina when she stuck by her pre-rushed-into-marriage known decision to not ever wanting to have a baby; and he kicked her out of the house which he manipulated her into buying for him on top of marrying him while she couldn't think straight right after going through a traumatic experience, and eventually forcing her into therapy for not wanting to give him everything he wants after her mental health mended.

He's a real catch, that one. I doubt it is meant to last.

Disagree, I like them as a couple and can see chemistry, although I think Amelia is way too edgy for him (considering her past as shown on Private Practice). I hope they work out but being on Grey's means that every couple will go through depressing times.

I like them together. Amelia is a good person, but she has trouble facing emotions. It took her almost a year to cry over Derek dying and even then, she wanted to escape the grief so much she nearly turned to pills. But Owen talked her down and held her, telling her what she felt was normal. He grounds her, and they want the same things; they want to have a family and a happy life. And while Owen loved Cristina, they married too soon. He asked while she was dealing with PTSD, and she loved him, but they should never have married. He wants kids so badly and Cristina didn't. Her career is her greatest love and that's okay.
