一直很喜欢《绝望主妇》中的Lynette和Tom Scavo这一对。Tom 几乎就是完美的老公。特别是下面他对强势老婆Lynette的解析,让人泪下啊。(背景:帮他们家装修的老头觉得Lynette不尊重她的老公而起争执,Tom 向老头解释他们的夫妻之道)
Tom: Hey Roy, can I talk to you?
Roy: Sure thing, pally. Here, take a load off. If it’s about me getting into it with your wife though, I have to stop you first and say I’m sorry. I mean, I know times have changed, but a man’s still a man. And you deserve to have your wife respect you.
Tom: She respects me plenty, Roy. Here’s the thing you gotta understand about Lynette. She grew up without her dad. Her mom was a drinker. So she had to be responsible for everyone.
Roy: Yeah, well, that’s rough.
Tom: Yeah. It left her with this constant fear that everything could suddenly fall apart. And that’s why she needs to control everything. Of course, she can’t. Nobody can. But… She can control me… If I let her. So I do. Because it makes her feel safe. And that is my job, as her husband… to make her feel safe.
Roy: You’re a good man, Scavo.
Tom: I try.
