re: #295 MandyManners

He should have found a stiffer spine before he let his wahoo get stiff.

Yep.
But his weak spine is an integral part of his personality - he just went along, never putting his foot down … I would suspect he was attracted to Kate in the first place because he could “let” her just take over and handle things …and then it became demeaning to him and he had no clue how to get back any control.
