Someone in Reddit described his living situation as “one step above homeless” and that really stuck with me. Not because there is any shame in that but because he is hellbent on gaslighting Sophie into thinking it is “normal” and her asking for more is “privileged”

I mean he has been going since he was SIXTEEN. It definitely is an addiction at this point. I think he likes feeling like a “big man” because of course the strippers showed him with attention. Not because he is special in any way but because he is PAYING CUSTOMER
