Some might call that "tough love." If viewed in a romantic context, honestly it becomes incredibly creepy and verges on emotional blackmail (particularly the airport scene). Which is why it screams familial context to me, given that there's such tremendous love--but restrained, tempered with respect and faith that the other can do it on their own without their help.

Dude. I'm not even in your goddamn family and that makes me wanna reach through my screen and smack you good and proper, regardless of if it knocks sense into you or not. You really think that's not emotional blackmail if it's familial?

As a victim of familial emotional abuse, I give you a hearty "fuck you!"

It's actually worse for that to be coming from your family- those are the people you're supposed to be able to count on the most, who know you the most, who you're supposed to be able to trust the most. So it's a worse betrayal for that kind of shit to come from a family member. And as a sibling who had a terribly rocky relationship with her little brother growing up, the only slap in the face that could sting more than that is the one that comes from a parent.

Are you saying that a mate can't have respect and faith that you can do something on your own? 'Cause if so, then goddamn, do you need to stop commenting on human behavior and relationships and emotions entirely, because you don't get it at all. And I say this as a person who has two mates, generally dislikes romance, and as a fan, tends to stay away from fluffy pairings and go for the more completely bunny-fucked-in-the-head pairings.

People who love each other will interact in the way that is comfortable for them, regardless of if it's familial or romantic in nature.
