There was nothing he could do from the beginning. The question was a trap. If he had refused to answer, she would have been suspicious. If he had said he never gets bored with her, she would have said he was lying. And we see what he got for answering as he did.
John’s doing the best that he can with all of these stupid questions that Elly is asking. C’mon Elly, you’re giving us women a bad name with those loaded questions that really have no good answers. Argh!
Elly and John are a good match. What one says, the other is thinking, and vice-versa. Both confidently insecure, thanks to the world around them. Yet isn’t it funny, they always seem to anchor to each other in the best of ways (heart, devotion, love), without wrapping the chains around their own necks!

As the priest said, “just because you’re on a diet, it doesn’t mean you can’t look at the menu”
