I think it matter to her if he listened. Nothing is more hurtful than sharing many years with someone and they didn't respect you. It would be a very lonely life.

I remember once on TV they had a special and Bush made a big deal out of giving her every color of Grasshopper shoes for her birthday. That remark has stayed with me. It made me see her as a dog happy for a scrap of food. Sad.

I don't see that sort of tension. They had GWB take and hold the presidency. Power players with power player values and whatever "regular tension" comes in that sphere. BB was no shutout/dummy in that circle.
