I imagine it has more to do with the frame of mind Jeph had to put himself in to draw this. After all, a lot of his stuff has the ring of "write what you know" to it, and connects so well because we've all been there. It's gotta be hard to draw someone sobbing like that when you've done so yourself... annd revisited emotions still hurt.

Am I even allowed to vote? :? [...]

Why not ? I havent been punched there despite having one either. But its easy to see that it would hurt. Hands, mouth, and primary sexual organs (either penis or vagina) are the places where you have the most nerve endings. Therefore getting hurt there hurts a LOT.

I dunno, i think the penis isnt the real worry, most men could handle a good punch if it was just to the dick.
The balls are the problem man, they're the sensitive ones.

I suppose I was looking at it from another way—t'would be a downer if Marigold were left to cry alone; Angus rising to the occasion, I find uplifting. Also, it's a jolly good thing I never revisit my former emotions, actions, etc.; they're the detracting in-laws from hell *harumph* or at least I assume they would be, if I ever bothered to check in. Which I don't.
On a side note, got to take a break from Dorothy Sayers novels: she's polluting my discourse with early twentieth century Britishisms. I almost wrote 'beastly' somewhere in here.

Nor will Angus need to be accountable for her. Marigold will get past this, with his help and the help of others, and yes things will be awkward occasionally. Doesn't mean it can't work out. Like a single parent introducing a new partner to the kids, it may or may not be handled well, but people deal.
After alll, there have been weirder situations. Anyone remember Meena and Dave?
--- End quote ---
Certainly an emotionally normal and mature person would easily get past it. Marigold's uncanny naiveté when it comes to relationships makes this a different situation. It would not just be "awkward." It would be painful. It doesn't mean they shouldn't remain great friends. Just the roommate thing may not be the best route.
