Yeah, and Alfie was being a bit horrible when he wanted Amber to date him to. Remember when he locked himself onto the bannister and wouldn't unlock himself until Amber started dating him? He literally said,' I won't stop until I get what's mine.'

Newsflash Alfie: Wanting to date her does not make her your property.

And she didn't even really want to date him at the beginning, like literally, she only agreed to it to get him out just? Sometimes the blame is shifted on Amber for that and people sympathise more with Alfie but the thing is, Alfie's motivations and intentions were horrible if not quite misogynistic at points, and that just really sort of disgusts me? I mean, it did get better, but anyway.

I don't know if she did it for Mick though, because I think their relationship was based more of the fact that they found each other attractive, and because he was popular and such, he already fit into a set of dateable criteria, and that in the end was their downfall. I think the gifts were just Mick's way of showing affection to her (I think that's one of the five love languages, no?)

But yeah, the blame is shifted of Amber more but it was both of their faults, not just hers.
