I would like to see Loren ....

..... see what I see -- a smarmy, immature drama queen -- and gain some self awareness. And her parents know it, coddle it, and smirk that it's Alexei's problem now. I don't think she's a bad person and she wants to be happy but she is going to drive poor Alex away because it ALWAYS has to be HER way. She pushed and pushed on that Alexei as a model thing and he took it for as long as he could. Now, I don't know why he didn't say goodbye properly to his friends, so that is on him; but perhaps somehow Miss Neuroses (and I'm not talking about the Tourette's but her own innate personalty traits) had something to do with it. But she is so nervous all the time and completely negates his feelings and needs. I hate women like that.
