Reply to comment by ModeMex in Is Clare, ('The Time Traveler's Wife') "tone-deaf", insensitive, or just plain stupid? by ModeMex

Huh. I have literally no memory of that.

Most of what I remember is the creepy grooming stuff, the scene where Time Traveller dude threatens a teenager who had been too aggressive in pursuit of also-then-teenage-Clare and compares Clare's sex appeal to "being a kitten that doesn't know the sharpness of its claws" or smth, the magical daughter who controls her time travel abilities, and the scene where Time Traveller Dude's ex kills herself in front of him.

I don't remember that part, but I remember the rest of what you mentioned.

Clair's "bestfriend" and Gomez were a constant presence in their lives (they even had kids - three if I remember correctly). Gomez actually referred Henry to a fertility specialist doctor after he and Clare were going through so many miscarriages. In a way, he was a "male friend" of Henry's.
