Some women would rather be with any man no matter how much of a jerk he is than be alone. But being alone is not so bad, my mother was certainly better off that way. She ought not to have married at all, but in the 50’s that’s the option open to women, not a career. To choose a career over marriage was not done. So she married and made my dad unhappy til they finally divorced. They each did much better after the divorce, he found a woman who truly loved him. And she did very well on her own.
No, some women just gravitate to men that mistreat or come and go in thier lives. Offer them a man that would be called a nice guy, and they will run to hills to avoid him. Ya deserve the results that ya get.
Actually, near the end of strip, Ted does change when his mother dies and he inherits her house. It was revealed that a big cause of Ted’s inability to have a stable relationship was his mother’s overprotectiveness and finding fault with women such as Connie; the idea that “no woman is good enough for my little boy”. By no means does that excuse Ted’s licentiousness, just an insight. After the death of his mother, believe it or not Ted actually does get into a quiet monogamous relationship!

That’s how it goes with someone like Ted. Compromise is all one-sided. She gives in and he stays stubborn.

When does Connie get w/ Greg?

obviously Connie’s mother and father were just the same.

Connie loves Ted hoping he’ll change. Ted loves Connie hoping she’ll stay the same. Disappointment is on the horizon for both of them.

Ugly as I am, even I wouldn’t talk to a person like Tom, never mind date him. Second-Class doesn’t turn me on at all!

I “used to be” a “Connie.” After 3 of them, I finally learned. The hard way, of course…but I did it!!!
