I think LMP thought MJ was a little boy that was too sensitive and played the victim all the time. She didn't accept him, she wanted to change him and tried to control the relationship.
I think so too. He was grown man who made his career what it was. She says she fell in love with him for he was and then tries to change him. Michael was a man but he always had child like qualities. It didn't make him less of a man. I think she was more concerned with how people thought of her and why she was with him. If she really loved him then who cares what others think.
