In fact, I really have a say in this issue. Let's talk about my real feelings. Be in love with a boyfriend from a single-parent family for three years. During this time, we also had many quarrels. Boyfriend is very insecure, probably because he lost his father when he was a child, so he has some defects in personality, always feels sorry for his mother, and occasionally has a sense of inferiority.
Because my boyfriend is insecure, I am also cautious in dealing with some things, for fear of accidentally touching the wrong string and making him crazy again. Boyfriend listens to his mother very much, probably because his mother brought him up. As the novel says, her mother gets up early every day to work for him and go to school, and almost places all her hopes on him. Boyfriends sometimes feel inferior, probably because they know that their family environment is not good and they have no father.
Because her parents divorced because of her father's gambling debts, her boyfriend hates gambling very much. As long as gambling is mentioned, there seems to be endless hatred. So I usually control myself in front of him. If there is anything about gambling, I try to avoid mentioning it. Even so carefully, this relationship only lasted for three years, and it didn't come to the end in the end, probably because it was really tiring these three years. This is just my personal feeling, not everyone does.
