Hiii I'm gonna ramble:

I'm absolutely sad that Winry is all alone in 03/CoS but not in a romantic sense. I'm absolutely devastated bc she no longer has Ed (her best friend and I personally see them as sibling relationship) and Al (again, same as Ed. Yes I'm including Al in this conversation bc he is ALSO Winry's best friend and im not gonna let people forget.).

But the thing is, she accepts that they're gone for good, even though it clearly pains her - she knows to not dwell on the past and move forward with what she does have! I think that's something she definitely learned from them, their mistakes most notably as well as from her own losses (like her parents.).

And another thing to realize is that she didn't have them around for years already. Yes, she grew up with them, but once Ed went to be a dog of the military, it took her 3 years (I think, could be wrong.) before she saw either brother again. On top of that, she already had her grieving period for Ed when everyone thought he had died to bring back Al. She already had her grieving period over Al when he almost IMMEDIATELY left to go train under Izumi again.

Although it ABSOLUTELY makes me sad for her, Winry is a strong, independent woman (woman by the time CoS hits, but she's a child for most of the series like Ed and Al. I feel like I needed to say that.) and she'll be able to live without her friends.

And THAT is what I love about Winry's character. That she adapts and overcomes, even if it does make her sad - another thing to point out is that, unlike Ed and Al, she's not dependent on either of them (while Ed and Al are HIGHLY dependant on each other, because they grew up believing that they only HAD each other.)

This being said I do think Winry is sad over Ed and Al (MAY I REPEAT, AND AL!!!!) leaving her behind, but as I said previously I don't think she'd be that holed up over it so to speak.

I love OP's point, and what they said bc it's true to some fans. I just felt like talking about how I feel:) (I'm sorry if the words are scattered or make little sense, I'm multitasking and just felt like spewing.)

love how some fma fans treat winry like a girlboss but then they see fma 03/cos and they whine that winry was all alone.

like some of you just reduce winry to ed's wife/gf and it shows
