"I don't want your promise. I don't need it. Perhaps no one will understand my marriage to you. But I speak to you, and you answer. I ask you to do things. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't... but you do at least listen. To my thoughts, to my decisions. As if I were a person."

For the last goddamn time, it was NOT a 'youthful flirtation'.
If it was a 'youthful flirtation', then it's a 'boxing match' when i sock you in the jaw.
which i will.

Dismayed by what she had observed while still with Katherine and apparently smarting at the insult, however unintentional, to her father’s memory, Mary firmly declined to become involved. (...) She knew Seymour’s reputation with women and was not fooled by his appeal to her innocence. (...) What she did have was the measure of him, and considerably more so than her half-sister, whose reputation was nearly ruined by her later association with Katherine Parr’s fourth husband. (X)

“The love between the couple was reawakened after the King’s death and the couple were married by the end of May 1547 ... It is not known exactly when the couple became betrothed and even when they got married, due to the fact that the couple wanted to keep their relationship quiet because of the King’s recent death. It is clear, however, that they married in haste … Marriage to Seymour changed Catherine’s life. She was finally with the man she loved.”
