He neglected her, took her for granted, focused on himself rather than her. He drove her way through selfishness and ignorance. Courtship should be for a lifetime, not a sales pitch that ends after a march down the aisle--that's false advertising, from the standpoint of a girl's emotions and normal nesting drive.
