Whoa, that was something. I don't much like either of those two . . . but the husband probably didn't remember that asshole thing he said about feeding the girl sweets for more than three days. It loomed large for the woman because it was about her hangup, so she remembered it and let it ruin her life. For him, it was just semi-random snark on a day he was in a bad mood, and now he has no idea why his wife operates the way she does (because he's never made any effort to find out and she's never tried to communicate).
