I was surprised there were so many negative comments about this story. Fiction or not, it is a real look at a father who puts considerably less pressure on this son to get romantically involved then fathers and mothers have put on their daughters for centuries. Then, when he finally meets the girlfriend, he has a biological reaction that we see filtering up to consciousness and then being gradually quelled by respect for the girl and an expectation that she will become part of this family. What, exactly is the basis for these negative comments?
