I gotta admit that I stopped watching when they killed Michael. I had been pretty fed up with the back and forth of that relationship, so when they finally got together only for him to be killed off afterwards I couldn't take it anymore. I never liked Jane and Rafael as a couple. I felt it was just so forced because she had his kid.
Same. I was always Team Michael. I hate those SLs where the main character falls in love with a bad boy who needs to be reformed & has to learn how to love & treat her right, but the love interest who already knows how to treat them & who's been a good & supportive person the whole time gets dismissed. & there's never a really good reason as to why the main character chooses the reformed guy over the naturally good guy. Also, I feel like in the past few seasons that practically every bad, dramatic thing that ever happened to Jane was because of Rafael. That dude drags tragedy & chaos everywhere he goes

And like you said, as a result the guy who is already nice gets thrown aside. In Jane the Virgin I felt they just forced the two together since she was having his child, which is another trope I hate. They have a kid together so that must mean they have to be together.
I don't blame you for watching it, there are times I'm tempted to revisit it. I would def come back if your theory turned out to be right. I actually loved how the show was so over the top, and it kind of filled a hole left after Ugly Betty in that respect, but I just felt killing off Michael the way they did, especially after everything they'd been through, was such a damn cheap ploy, and I just didn't feel like sticking around after that.

I really hope you're right though.
