And, as usual, the Harlequin FL instantly forgives the ML for deceiving her from the beginning, when all Harlequin MLs hold a murderous grudge forever when they even suspect the FL of not telling him their innermost secrets from first acquaintance. I have to admit that the ML was a typical member of my gender when he was busting himself to get into her pants and started blaming her and saying completely unforgivable things when she didn't comply, followed by the "stomp, stomp, stomp" exit, stage right. For most of the women I've been friends with, that conduct is, in common parlance, called a deal-breaker. Harlequin women sure do forgive a lot! I guess I just felt that the ML had a lot of the behaviors and attitudes that have often made me cringe when observing my fellow men in action.
