Summary

This quote suggests that true love involves a level of understanding and consideration for one's partner. If the speaker's loved one asked them to stop drinking martinis for their well-being, and the speaker disobeyed and suffered the consequences the next day, the loved one would not point out that they had been warned. Instead, it implies that the loved one would sympathetically stay by their side without saying "I told you so," highlighting the importance of compassion and support in a genuine relationship.

I loathe the expression What makes him tick. It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression.
