Fresh fruit not good enough for you, eh?

I'd rather not get involved in an infinite regression of strawmen. I don't have issue with misunderstandings, but here you are inventing a point of view and ascribing it to me. I've considered several options for explaining how this argument is unrelated to anything I've said, but I can't see a way to do that without legitimizing this tactic of putting words in my mouth. I don't doubt you sincerely believe that your invention and my point of view are connected, but I don't have any particular onus to correct you. dealing with the finer points of character motivation is entertaining, and I'd be happy to address this one, if it were raised as a simple objection--suggesting that it's a consequence, or raising it as a what if. instead, youare trying to force me to defend it, and I've no interest in that.

How have you not been saying that its on Angus to carry the burden of her issues as well as carrying his own issues without any support, that if the relationship is to continue, that is all on him?
If the relationship is going to continue, its on him to listen and be understanding, but its on her to actually talk so he can listen. They both have things they have to do.
Unrelated and to other people who have said this: somehow saying that Angus is worse than Marten because Marten could switch gears is absurd: There is a huge difference between "I'm happy about something unrelated, and my friend seems really sad" and "I'm happy about something, and my girlfriend is upset about it, despite never bringing up she had an issue with it before." Its a whole lot harder to switch gears when the reason someone is upset is because of YOU and it feels unfair.

Tugboats often have old tires down the sides as fenders. Or the boat could be an AmphiCar, a "Seep" or a DUKW. Tires.

Funny, I almost made a comment about a DUKW, but I didn't know if anybody'd get it.

Everything I have said is still up there. Read it again, and try not seeing what you want to see. I'm not going to justify your interpretation. This is a strawman, and I don't have any interest in it.
EDIT: Or don't reread, and declare yourself victorious. I'm not interested in being adversarial, and you telling me what I said and mean is just that.
