insulation

i know a man who loves his son very much. is he comfortable? is he hungry? is he safe? perhaps he would wrap him in tissue paper if he could. he would, if he could, protect him from all pain and unpleasantness. shades of the modern chinese little emperors, i think, and also of the korean horror flick.

are people like this when they marry, or do do they become this? do their spouses complement them, who have evolved over a marriage? or do they awaken one day, distastefully, years on, to a stranger on their bed?
