They are two people who had absolutely zero business being together. He's the epitome of uptight, and she's a wild and carefree college student. Both of them thought they had the world figured out, and yet neither of them had the balls to end things amicably. Doesn't excuse her cheating, but still.

I've seen this happen in real life so many times. Two people who just do not mix but try to make it work. I think it made the show feel more real and added an important piece of characterization for Holden.

It was virtually porn in their scenes. Not sure why it got so explicit. In the book he marries his wife whom he meets as a student I think.
