i don’t know, paul should have tried hooking up with baxter because it surely looked like it could work out between them.

also, paul and annie were crazy, dawg.

that was one hell of a case of avoidant attachment. it was so bad, i started searching for home remedies i could use to fix mine just so i don’t end up like our brazen protagonist here.

my brain is all in shambles trying to figure out how paul could possibly manage the herculean task of establishing a healthy and dynamic relationship with women all the while enfeebled by the oedipus and madonna-whore complex. freud would have been high as a kite if he procured such a test subject.

why was paul so persistent in proving that clara maltreated her ex-husband, and thus responsible, to some extent, on their marriage falling apart? i’m so sick of this guy’s hypocrisy.

paul and miriam are the epitome of platonic soulmates and there should have been no buts but i agree with them, it would not have work.

competing with a teenage girl over her own son’s attention and very being is crazy. now, he would grow incapable of forming a healthy relationship with other women because she groomed him into thinking that any soul-consuming relationship with a woman would leave her in agony and suffering owing to what happened with her first weird obsession with her eldest son. ok, we understand, but get a grip, girl.

this is the first time i have ever felt personally and deeply connected with an unconventional depiction of love—framing feelings of hatred, anger, and humiliation in concordance with it rather than its polar opposites.

i didn’t expect that. i was sure it was going to be walter, but oh my gawd.

god forbid a guy who just wants to dillydally his way through life

damn, there is nothing more tear jerky than a homecoming of an eldest child who brings all sorts of assortments to spoil the family he left behind to support.
