Just because Freddie accepts Sam's abuse doesn't make it right, and Freddie knows it. Freddie has alwyas given back just as good as he got. In the first, episode he called her an "it" and screamed right in her face. In iWant More Viewers Carly had to use the spray on BOTH of them. Freddie isn't just some classy guy who sat back and let her abuse him. Freddie hasn't just awesomely sat back and accepted Sam. They are equally responsible for the hostility in their relationship.

"Freddie can be his true self around Carly, this has not been shown yet with Sam" When has Freddie ever not been his true self around Sam? What about playing the giant with his tiny shampoo bottles (very Captain-hat like). Or his dorky jokes like "just desserts" (which Sam laughed at). Yes, Sam teased him just like CARLY teased him in iSAFW for his interest in War of Warlords. In fact, in that episode Sam made an effort to learn character names and find out why they couldn't fight whereas Carly just mocked.

"This is one of the main issues I have with Seddie. Why would you root for two people that you like in a television show to get together if you wouldn't want that type of relationship in your own life?" Because it is a television show and you want to watch things that entertain you. It is not like people went to Shakespeare's plays and was like "you wouldn't want your thirteen year old daughter to kill herself in real life so why watch it on stage".

"Seddie is too unrealistic " I know several couples like this. It is more true of childhood friends who grew up with hostility and then matured over time. This is too much based on a person's own experience. In contrast, I have NEVER seen a couple where one pursued a person for years only to be constantly crushed and then have the girl arbitrarily decide she wants to be with him. If Carly wanted to be with Freddie she would be. Nothing is stoping them prior to iOMG. She doesn't want him. Real love just doesn't pop up randomly years after the fact.

"I believe Freddie and Carly are best friends and soul mates" I don't believe there is such a thing as soul mates. YMMV.
