Honestly I am getting lost in all of this conversation.
My original point was that Chrome is probably not going to get the intimacy he craves until the effects of the betrayals are addressed. I very much believe that Mrs. Chrome has issues she needs to address, but that until her pain has healed some, any pressure that Chrome puts on her to change will not be well received and in fact will probably work against him.
Heather, your 'taking one drink' analogy doesn't work. It's legal. If you are over 21. If you are under 21, you still have an ethical issue at play... we all break that rule (well... a lot of us did)... does it make it right because so many break it? No.
I didn't mean to address the ethical side of it...I was only saying that doing something once or within moderation doesn't automatically point to a problem, i.e. escapism.
