Please tell me this is going to get less annoying at some point. Connell is an idiot of massive proportions. He keeps sabotaging their relationship and when Marianne goes on with her life (well done, M.!) she’s the bad guy who *actually* wanted to snub him because of his lower class status. Okay, dude, sure 🤦🏻♀️
Is he ever going to take responsibility for his actions? I might throw this book away...

M: “I’d have done anything you wanted me to.”

Are we supposed to take this as a sign they’re “meant to be”? The power imbalance is real, and all this is unhealthy. I’m very curious about the author’s intentions here...

„[Her mother] decided a long time ago that it is acceptable for men to use aggression towards Marianne as a way of expressing themselves. As a child Marianne resisted, but now she simply detaches [...]. [Her mother] considers it a symptom of her daughter’s frigid and unlovable personality. She believes Marianne lacks “warmth”, by which she means the ability to beg for love from people who hate her.”
