That made sense to me though. Being accepting and understanding, and absolutely not possessive, would make McGregor's character an idealistic lover for their situation. But he's not any of those things, and part of the conflict that adds to that is that he can't see past or get over anyone else being with her, even if it's just physical. The logical brain bits say to look past that, but there's an emotional/irrational perspective that gets in the way of it that still has to be acknowledged. Nicole Kidman's character has experience and knows how to distance herself from what she's doing so as not to break down, and she's had years to learn that. That guy? Doofus newbie, and they're horrible for eachother. Passionate, but horrible.

Groovy duets though ♥

That is a good point about the conflict between the logical and the emotional. There definitely is the fact that he's new to all of this, but thinking about it, there's also the fact that it's easy to look at a situation and see what the rational response would or should be when you're not the one going through it. I might be putting too much stock in pragmatism.

I still don't like the violence of his reaction, though. That could be chalked up to his passion, but people who are passionate in that way don't tend to make very stable partners.
