History YMMV / PeteVersusLife

** Pete clearly struggles with being an adult. Is he just immature, or does he have some sort of [[AmbiguousDisorder learning disability]]? Given the sheer number of easily-disprovable BlatantLies he comes up with, he does appear to be a compulsive liar.

** Anna comes across as bossy and domineering, with an occasionally-seen softer side. Is she merely a wannabe AlphaBitch, or are her actions the result of a sheltered (and, from what we can see, [[BrotherSisterIncest somewhat strange]]) family background, immaturity, [[ACupAngst anxiety about her figure]], and uncertainty when dealing with her fiance's friends who she (rightly) suspects don't actually like her?

* JerkassWoobie: Although many of his problems are of his own making, it's hard not to feel for Pete at times.
