I do notice Annie’s silence. She is acting like the parent in this situation. She had to make the unpopular, but correct decision. Her methods may not have been the best, but she worked with what she had.
Yes but a more secure lifestyle doesn’t guarantee happiness. Just because Lila would have money doesn’t mean she will be happy. Remember that Annie has to live with the repercussions.
But… did Annie ever tried to TALK with Lila about that? Poor communication I guess, like when she purposely failed the test just to go to Spain and cause she wasn’t interested anyway.
All the commenters seem to be ignoring the ironic humour of Boyd’s punch line in this strip to dicuss Lila’s broken engagement. That observation of his was brilliant.

Yet Matthew did not notice or comment on the new bra. what a waste.

Exactly Boyd. Insecurity & Loneliness. Don’t you wish you could trust someone?& untrustworthiness is Lila’s lesser bane. Greater is “untrusting”-ness

Way to get her out John!
Yes, Boyd, those are the motivators(i hear this “whined” to me from my coworker all the time)…and the mortar, but trust is the brick and cornerstone.

why would Annie have wanted them not to marry? wouldn’t it have led to a more secure lifestyle for her?

Marriage is built on lust. Matty got it wrong.

ANY relationship is built on trust and Annie blew their relationship in that regard.

@Jkissmya ~ I agree with you, I’d rather be alone than in a marriage with that set up….
