It's really frustrating. I get that she's strong, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't get to grieve.

It's true. She needs to be supported too.

I haven't watched the episode after it yet, but it bothered me that Barry was pretty much not even considering that Iris knew Ralph too, that she would be hurting too.

I agree. He needs to do better in that regard. Didn't like that he was needing to be coddled rather supporting.
Cisco was super sad too but no one is giving him a shoulder to cry on or a therapist appointment. __________________

Meh. It feels like a weak excuse IMO. They all felt responsible in their own way but none of them were snapping at each other or shutting each other out.

I agree that that is why, but that's just not good enough, imo. As was said above me, they all had reason to feel that way in some form, but he was the only one responding like that. And tbh, isn't he kind of breaking his promise to Ralph anyway? He essentially said he'd protect them, how does he plan on achieving that by shutting them out and going off on his own so he doesn't know what is going on?

It's not an excuse, it's how Barry is. He becomes extremely self-centered when he grieves. He lashes out. It's the same when he's nervous/afraid. I remember how snappy he was towards Wally last year after he learned Iris was going to die in the future.
This is the same guy who stopped being the Flash after Iris' death. It's not like he cared that Joe, Wally and Cisco were suffering as well. Iris handles grief differently. She's also calmer and that's why she and not Barry gets to be the leader. Of course the BTS reason for why the show writes Barry this way after a tragedy is their absolute and annoying love for MANPAIN. I don't like anything about Westallen in this part of the season. Run, Iris, Run was their last good episode. They get 0 focus. The scenes where they seem to be more affectionate end up on the cutting floor. The reason why this part of the season isn't the worst ever when it comes to Westallen is because 2A is still a thing. __________________

Iris handling it differently is fine but it seems like she's not being allowed to handle it at all, and that's not okay.

Iris should be allowed to feel and grieve too.

I would love for Barry and Iris to have a couple moment that isn't about Devoe or coddling Barry about Ralph. Just the two of them being husband and wife.

Maybe one day they will step outside the Lab.
