I agree, Tyler deserved way better. He deserved his freedom & a happy life away from all this drama - with Caroline, it's what they both deservesd
It's interesting, because Klaus's way of going after Caroline was actually pretty shallow. Like with the bracelet... I remember people comparing it to the bracelet Tyler got her & saying that Klaus 'deserves' her more because his was more expensive. But that somes him up, it's money & power, it's not actual heart. Tyler gave her a charm bracelet that had things connected to her & their relationship on it, it had way more feeling behind it & proved how well he knew her.
I don't get how anyone can not understand which gift shows love more there...
