Actually...I don't think I wrote what I meant all that clearly LOL. What I meant was, he has the capacity to understand why she has abuse related issues....not necessarily the "want" to understand the deeper lying sociological references in The Lord of the Rings.
I think though for him to relate and understand her abuse issues...she need to speak very plainly to him, no euphamisms, no analogies. We (women) often have a tendancy to use far more words than necessary to get our points across (I'm obviously as guilty as the next woman on this)...and by doing so we often unintentionally cloud our points.
That's more what I meant to say....probably could have used less words though LOL.
