The original comment made no mention of Yufina at all, nor did it imply that Karchess was the deciding factor in the decision. The comment was solely, "poor Martius, he seemed like he was a nice guy and it's sad things turned out for him the way he did--Karchess got everything he had". Which is, you know. True. Regardless of how he got those things. Karchess got his wife and he got his country. Yufina's choices factored into how it happened but it doesn't change that simple fact and that fact is why we feel bad for Martius.

There is no condemnation of either party in that statement. You can have sympathy for an injured party without hating on the people who caused it, especially if they're sympathetic as well.

Don't act like I'm being a sexist pig for thinking that political obligations and a marriage (which is a promise to be faithful to someone, even if she didn't find him attractive) which can impact countries full of people might be a bit higher priority than chasing a romance. Which is not the entirety of the argument I was trying to make (which was, again, about Martius being a sympathetic character) but since that's the aspect you've decided to pick at I feel I must defend it.

I even brought up a scenario where the genders were completely reversed (Banica and Carlos). So no. Don't put words in my mouth.
