So do we resign ourselves to the fact that Flower is talking a load of rubbish then as per normal? :P
I have a sister that was once in a relationship like this, she is a lot older that I am and I witnessed the way she was treated and vowed to myself no man would ever treat me that way.
Looking back he had insecurities that I think she felt she could help him overcome, but it lead to him destroying her self esteem and belief in herself, she would always defend him when she was questioned about the way he treated her like it was her fault that he threw things at her when the windows got steamed up from cooking dinner as she forgot to open them.
She has been out of the relationship for a few years now and is happy with another partner.
We as a family did not give up on him and he has since realised the error of his ways and regrets what he put her through, but it is all a bit late but they remain friends due to the children they share together.
He is now a more content person but it has taken 35 years of us knowing him for him to reach this stage in his life, so sad really so many wasted years of unhappiness.
LP.
I find him intriguing, funny, witty, sensible at times, and confusing at others.
To be him could never be boring.
