All-round double standards. Daley's an idiot. I won't miss him. But I honestly believe he was role-playing and would never have hurt Hazel. He's a control freak but so are many women, who dominate their own relationships. Not all control-freaks are abusive.
To all the histrionic flag wavers,
1. Can you be 100% sure that Daley was not role-playing?
2. How do you explain him calmly and repeatedly asking if he could pretend to be aggresssive whilst reassuring Hazel that he would never hit her, if he was in a rage-filled haze?
3. Were they not both to blame for attempting sexual roleplay, when their pretence that their relationship was platonic completely prevented them from setting ground rules about what they were each comfortable with, especially as they do not properly know each other.
I feel they should both be out or both be warned about their insensitive use of an emotionally charged scenario which likely caused great offence to victims of assault and the general public. Their blatant denial of the fact they were roleplaying worsened things for Daley as he tried to pretend he still wasn't cheating on his girlfriend. "We got kinky, and misinterpreted each others' signals. We've chatted and all is resolved."
