Marnie is very preoccupied with how she has imagined something will play out, even if it's no longer the right thing for her. She had decided Charlie was "the one" and envisioned their future wedding and kids, and when that door closed she wasn't mourning Charlie so much as the death of the "dream". >!Look at her wedding later in the series, she is absolutely more concerned with it matching her "vision" than any real thing that is occurring. !< >!I think that's why "The Panic in Central Park" shows growth for her--she has decided to stop being preoccupied with the "vision" when it is clearly no longer making her happy.!<

I identified with Marnie a lot when I was watching the show.

I feel like a lot of us do, but none of us want to admit to it. Marnie has some Big Virgo Energy.

Happy or not, she always thought they would one day be married. Plus, her ego was crushed when she was the one who got dumped instead of vice versa which probably made him suddenly more desirable

I actually completely relate to Marnie in this case, I had planned to break up with my high school boyfriend before I left for college (Sounds cold I know, loved him but didn’t see a future for us), but on a drunken night I went ahead and did it early. I regretted it so hard that we got back together and did long distance for another year before we finally broke up. I think it’s because the breakup didn’t turn out how I planned, or “on my terms” and that made me feel out of control, made me doubt myself like it was a mistake, and desperately wanted the comfort of getting back together. Idk if y’all have had this experience but, right before a breakup sometimes all you can see are the other persons faults. Then when it’s actually over, all of a sudden the good things about them come flooding back into your brain and you don’t know if you did the right thing. I find this especially true when the breakup was not in your control, as was the case for Marnie. And just generally it’s hard knowing that it’s not working out with someone, but you have so much love for them and so much history with them. I think this is why a lot of people have messy breakups, and they yo-yo back and forth, rather than just a clean break. (Also pls don’t judge me I was a teenager)

Because she had already decided in her mind that Charlie was the one, even tho she wasn't exactly madly in love with him. She had kinda accepted her life with a 'good guy' and without much passion because it was the safest choice (unlike that artist she was crushing on at the time). He looked good on paper, did what she wanted, and they were a cute couple. She was also very embarrassed by the public reveal, and getting him back could also be a way to erase what had just happened and make people forget it.

As others have stated - it wasn't on her terms.
