so what are the two of them doing together in the first place? the guy is such an idiot that he doesn’t realize susan’s attachment to the dog? and she is such an idiot that she doesn’t realize the daughters problem? seems like this should have been the first thing to have been addressed in the relationship. how did they let things get serious without addressing this? didn’t the 4 of them ever go out together? ridiculous.
