…..she instinctively felt a compelling need to protect him from himself. He obviously was in desperate need of a person to run interference for him in life, and she intuitively volunteered for the position. He was, after all, incapable…..inutile…..hopeless almost. Don’t ask me why she felt better qualified to run the life of a person—Any person!—other than herself, but she just KNEW deep in her heart that her instincts were uniquely superior to his and that she should therefore unfailingly be the point-person on every decision that impacted his life to any significant degree. She was doing him a big fuckin’ favor is all it truly boiled down to; can’t you see that, Reader? Can’t you understand that? Well…..CAN’T YA?! It’s clearer than a glacial stream to me. Frankly, the guy should be arrantly grateful to her and the stupid nincompoop definitely shouldn’t feel one bit resentful nor be overly annoyed with this blatant intrusion into his life…..
