This is actually pretty endearing, and I know some people are icked out on this large of a gap between them, but this is actually pretty good. The only bad thing about this is that, WE DIDN'T SEE THE PAINTING!!! I wanted to see it
Well, damn... Clearly not a healthy relationship, but at the same time, the ending suggests that her husband does care about her, at least on the good days. Not enough for me to forgive the abuse, by far, but it does make the story slightly less black and white and explains why she's still staying with him despite the problems, even if it may be the wrong choice in the end.
Oh Please, there's no such things as good days for a abusers. Her staying is an unfortunate effect of being abused by someone they have history with. This girl doesn't deserve any of this
