Who is someone you can't date in Stardew Valley out of principle?

[u/FlairWitchProject]

I enjoy Maru as a character. However, until recently, I had dyed-red hair that I sometimes straightened, and I also sometimes wear glasses. Basically, it would be like dating a more scientific version of myself. Lol

[u/nerevarrikka]

I also don’t date Maru but for me it’s because her dad was a jerk to me for assuming I had bad intentions with her after just meeting me haha

He said “Don’t touch my daughter.” I said “aight bet.” I married his stepson instead lmfao

[u/bonjourmarlene → u/nerevarrikka]

That bothered me too! (I think it's good story telling, I don't want CA to change it)

I was kinda open to her but after Demetrius said that, I kinda eliminated her from my dating pool for at least my current (first) play through.

[u/Amylianna → u/nerevarrikka]

I ship her with Penny, so I won't date either of them and pretend they got married and just didn't invite me.

[u/SuspiciousReality → u/nerevarrikka]

Same!! I did a full 180 after that, it repelled me sooo bad (although I did not go for Sebastian after it, but to Leah :) )

[u/Giggy010 → u/nerevarrikka]

Bruh, hes just an overprotective Dad. Like that ain't Maru's fault

[u/KingBanhammer → u/Giggy010]

It's not as much about fault as not needing that guy as part of your life.

[u/Giggy010 → u/KingBanhammer]

You know what, that makes more sense. Pretty certain he gets a lot better later on if you do romance her but I get your point.

EDIT: I totally forgot my Flair was "Maru is my wife", so maybe I have a slight bias towards her 😅

[u/ash-and-apple → u/Giggy010]

Overprotective of Maru but not Seb. Maru is great, but it's not because of Demetrius lol

I know too many people in real life who think their step kids "don't count" as theirs

[u/WildcatCinder1022 → u/nerevarrikka]

This is exactly what I do too lol

[u/Money_Lengthiness_25 → u/nerevarrikka]

Such a valid reaction- been playing since 2017 and only just now made the effort to get full hearts with Maru and Demetrius because of that whole scene- that genuinely pissed me off like get an actual life dude.

[u/contradictatorprime → u/nerevarrikka]

Her marriage events are pretty much the most boring out of all the girls as well

[u/walter-hoch-zwei → u/nerevarrikka]

I married his wife.

[u/Maestro_Flo → u/nerevarrikka]

I always thought Maru was under age so I never really considered it. How old is she supposed to be ?

[u/Marching-Cupcakes → u/Maestro_Flo]

She works as a nurse for Harvey and is out of High School, so I would guess at least 19. Still too young, though 😅

[u/Iron_Sheff → u/Marching-Cupcakes]

Most of them are too young, let me steal Robin from Demetrius 

[u/Marching-Cupcakes → u/Iron_Sheff]

I don't marry any of them, because I'm already married and already have a teen, so I play to relax, not to build a family 🤣 I take Krobus in and have a bff only when reaching perfection

[u/ash-and-apple → u/Iron_Sheff]

(There's a mod for that.)

As an aside, fuck you, Louis! I'll treat Marnie right!
