Figured this one would be far too long for a tweet so, here goes.
Know why I love watching Desperate Housewives so much, such that I won't mind sitting in front of the TV for one hour just to watch the episode which I've already watched not too long ago?
Besides the perfectionist Bree's profound and extensive vocabulary, Gaby's attractiveness in ways more than one, and the drama-mama yet ever-lovable Susan, I like how the show inject bits of quotes, especially those that depicts how love in reality is..
An excerpt from season 6, whereby Tom was explaining to Roy about Lynette's position in their marriage:
Roy: I know..., times have changed. But a man is still a man. You gotta have your wife respect you.
Tom: Yeah..she respects me plenty, Roy.
Tom: Here's the thing, you gotta understand Lynette. She grew up without a dad, her mum's a drinker; so she's responsible, for everyone.
Roy: Hmmm well, that's rough.
Tom: It left her with this constant fear that, everything could suddenly fall apart and that's why she needs to control everything. Of course she can't, nobody can. But, she can control me,
Tom: if I let her. So I do. Because it makes her feel safe. And that is my job, as her husband, to make her feel safe.
Roy: You're a good man, Scavo.
Tom: So if you'll excuse me, I've got a hamburger to fetch.
Love takes place in many forms. But usually, it's always these small yet significant sacrifices that really matters.
