[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 404995, member: 649"]Alright, I'm going to rain on the parade here. "Suppose you noticed fat stuff giving us her usual dirty look..." I am always irritated/offended by people who mention weight while insulting someone else. Bob seems pretty obsessed with looks. Lots of showy compliments on how pretty Blanche is and how he enjoys showing her off like a trophy. He says he loves to go out with her in public because everyone looks at her, there's no mention of enjoying her company. There's not even a hint of any admiration for personality traits, ie: how kind or generous or loving or smart Blanche is. Don't get me wrong, I like being complimented on my looks occasionally, too, but I prefer being complimented/appreciated for who I am. I'm truly glad they had such a happy and lasting relationship and I'm sure he must have been a "good" guy, like he predicts he will be. I suppose this letter just underscores some of the differences between the times. But perhaps some of his other letters show more admiration for who she is rather than only focusing on what she looks like. :) (Edited to correct Blanche's name.)[/QUOTE]
