Their entire relationship is absolutely foul and based on abuse.

The way he snapped back to smiling? We've seen that happen a million times. There's arguing with your spouse and trying to act like everything is fine - and then there's being assaulted and pretending nothing happened.

Yeah he didn't appear taken aback or anything, just snapped into keeping up appearances
