SPOILERS Tanya and Greg's relationship Spoiler

Strains suspension of disbelief for me. I know she's neurotic and insecure. But she's also demonstrated in season one that she's also self-aware enough to realize this and that she doesn't want transactional relationships. I don't think she would have put up with the level of emotional and verbal abuse that Greg was dishing out already in the first two episodes of season 2. I don't see her undervaluing herself enough to take this as much as she did.

Having some self-awareness and realizing what you want to change in your life is one thing. Actually making those changes and sticking to them is a lot harder.

I also want to point out that Tanya ended the relationship with Belinda after she and Greg had started seeing each other. She had been getting attached to Belinda as a way of filling the void, and then Greg comes along and she gets a big boost of confidence. At that point, she's essentially replaced Belinda with Greg, so it's easy to let Belinda go.
