I logged in just to give you a slow handclap regarding your analogy of a 'nice guy'. She is an object. By skipping the dating/courting stage, he doesn't have to get to know the actual person. David's needs are first in his mind. I sensed that somewhere during the honeymoon but thought I was being to sensitive.Human instincts are nothing to sneeze at. Maybe deep down Ashley senses that and feels smothered. Not to excuse her snotty behavior though. But I have been with a 'nice guy'. It usually means you are an object of their control issues.
