[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved it! I’m a bit naive and privileged so I think it helped me see the other side. She just had so many crazies around her that drag her down and I’ve never experienced that.

I loved Nate and wished she would date him. I married a man just like him and he’s such a great dad and husband. [/quote]

Nate wasn't a good guy.  He was offering to help her so long as she met his expectations (Date him).  He exemplifies how so many women, who leave abusive relationships fall into other abusive or controlling relationships.  He appears as the knight in shining armor but he isn't.

So no, I am glad she didn't date Nate.[/quote]

I don't think he was a "bad" guy, but he wasn't good for her and obviously wasn't helping her out of sole concern for her welfare.

While I think it's understandable that he was upset that she spent the night with, and slept with Sean, he was really nasty when asking her to leave. He had really had no clue what she was dealing with and didn't realize what he didn't know.[/quote]
No, he was not a “bad guy”. How many men do you know would happily babysit a kid while the mom is boinking her abusive ex-boyfriend? [/quote]

Men will do a lot to get the girl they want.  So, no--he's not a bad guy but he wanted something from her and that's why he was doing all the things he was doing.  Once he figured out she wasn't going to give it to him (even though she had been clear on that many times prior), he kicked her out.  Perhaps he didn't fully understand what was happening in her world.  Perhaps she was wrong to accept help.  But at the end of the day, one can say Nate represents the argument that women fleeing abusive relationships shouldn't necessarily fall into the arms of the next 'nice' man and many, many, many do -- only to find that the cycle perpetuates if that man turns the table on them when/if they decide the woman isn't doing what they want.   So yeah, Nate could have continued to offer homecooked meals, ponies and fancy preschools to Alex but who is to say in 5 years, he wouldn't get mad at her for whatever and just pull the entire rug from her.  Or get jealous and start controlling her.  The tables weren't equal between them and Alex recognized that.  [/quote]
