He's doing the best he can. With Sina and Albi he kept saying 'not too close' whilst Anna was just crying about the dogs meeting their 'baby sister'. You can kinda see in his eyes a kind of sadness after Anna critises him - the first time at the hospital with the outfits and the second today regarding the phone. Bless him.
I know vlogging whilst driving isn't the safest thing to do but to me it looks like he is holding the steering wheel and resting the camera on top so it's not like he's holding his arm out vertical and driving one handed y'know? Obviously that's not safe but you see people texting away whilst driving or eating a hamburger on the motorway so it could be worse haha.
I don't feel sorry for him. He thinks that all they need is each other and it's fine and great to spend all their time together. Dofus needs to wake up, she's cranky and mean because she has no outlet for anything. He's had her cooped up for at least a year. More and more so throughout their relationship. She needs people, company, friends, interests, etc. I'd be mean too in her position. She needs professional help as she's not able to pick herself up from this mire. He makes her feel guilty whenever they are separated by whining and acting like a child. It's funny, he's a father figure in a sense to her, but he's also her child in another. She tolerates a lot of his annoying habits and he's got some doozies. She was actually pretty alive with his family there and behaved quite animatedly. Just because he thinks he doesn't need anybody but her (he's wrong) doesn't mean she won't greatly benefit and become nicer if she gets her own life.
She doesn't have very many friends, if at all, though. She just has MSD and her sisters, which she sees basically every day. And if she wanted to go out more, be independent, she should have gotten her driver's license so Jofus doesn't have to take her everywhere. They BOTH need to get out with their own family and friends separately more, as it would probably be more healthy.
As for tolerating the habits, hey.. That's who she decided to marry and be with, if she didn't like that, she shouldn't have married/stayed with him at all. That's nobody's fault but hers.
I was impressed with the way she acted with his family in today's vlog, moreso than how she acted with Jofus' mom.
I think she just never developed as a teenager- normally that's how most teenagers develop their personalities, even if you're just listening to pop tunes at the time and synching them up with your life experiences.
