Was anyone else really mad at him when he leaves her at the club?


I hated that part! I felt so bad for her when he just selfishly leaves her behind to go sleep with another woman. It was her first time being in a place like that since the accident, she obviously would be feeling a little insecure and vulnerable and would need his support more than ever. Ugh! That part just kills me. I wanted to jump in the movie and give her a hug.

- my guess is, in his mind he played it straight because he asked Marion to dance before he wandered off to the dance floor.
- also, earlier, when she asked about his love life he was honest, then asked if she wanted him to.
- there were no actual adjustments to the first facts laid out, which may have amounted to the rules for the time being.

- Marion was not unreasonable when she challenged him the following day. she was only straightforward.
- i think she cut him slack, already, for being a real friend, from the time that she phoned him.

- on the other hand, Marion was unreasonable with the guy who approached him at the bar. anyone can be thrown off by the sight of missing legs. she had it neatly tied up as a political failing before he had a chance to react.

- [ and, again, what does OP mean? ]

- i took a different tack, but i like your reaction. don't we all want to jump into the movie?
- bye the way, it is not long before we see them together again. (that's as far as i got. i came to IMDb to find out what OP means in this film. d.

I wasn't mad at him at all. Personally, I don't believe in friends with benefits or casual sex, but he made it clear with Stephanie that he had lots of beeping buddies and they entered into a sexual relationship purely on the grounds of a factual, non emotional conversation - "I don't know if my stuff works any more".
- "Want to find out?"

Her reaction to her FRIEND leaving to screw another woman was out of bounds for how he probably saw their relationship. Her reaction means now they can no longer be open and honest friends, discussing everything, because now he has to hide his other relationships. This also means he won't be letting her tag along with him to the club any more.

And because the majority of women do become emotionally attached after sex is part of why I don't like casual relationships unless the woman knows AND ACCEPTS that's what it is.
