    Ein BITTE klingt besser als ein Ausrufezeichen... :sad:

    1. I think to a marriage and its problems it always takes two. The protagonist cheated on his wife and was constantly in a bad mood. Midge (wer ist das? The protagonist?) has never criticized (wen? his wife?) no matter how bad things were she was doing. Both probably lived in their world which would not change.

    2. The protagonist wants to touch the young tree, (vielleicht besser => which symbolizes the young lady. However, it (was?) gets stuck in the trunk of the old tree, which displays (darstellen) oder signifies / stands for his wife. I think it's an act of revenge of Midge. She wants him to get stuck, just as she suffers the marriage.
