Both -- I think her bottomline was: get used to people being clingy so that marriage can occur. Since, IRL, so many people are concerned about these issues (and think that I'm some kind of weirdo for not agreeing with them), I like bringing it up on LJ every once in a while to remind myself that there are awesome people out there (like you!) who understand that an idealized heterosexual marriage isn't, and doesn't have to be, everyone's goal in life.
I wonder if epithets are used as commonly in het fic since, apparently, one of the reasons why writers resort to epithets is to avoid all the pronoun mix-ups... But still! So unnecessary! I'm A-okay with name repetition!
