Frank is fascinating in the way that he wants to dictate to his wife on the one hand but on the other he seems so vulnerable and dependent on her. I think Denise built Frank's ego up.

On the outside he appears to be this tough gruff guy but I think he really is a softie who kind of had that side of himself supressed by his upbringing. He seems to have trouble expressing himself. I think part of him is proud of the part of his wife that he fell in love with but another part is afraid he could lose her and he fears he doesn't measure up. -- Army Wives: Celebrating the circle of friendship!

In reply to: Jubellant 's message, "Denise refuses to address whether or not she was in love with Getti. Do you think she was in love with him? Do you think she loves Frank? What do you thnk would have happened if Getti had survived the accident? Would Denise still have confessed to Frank? What do you think would have happened if Denise had met Getti at the Julep?" on 16:02:29 08/18/08 Mon

[> Frank has expressed several times he is so afraid of losing Denise. Seeing her change and grow has just increased his insecurity. they to have her admit she kissed and had feeling for another man. no wonder the guy is confused. -- linda R, 23:12:32 08/24/08 Sun [1]

[> [> Then why doesn't he see that his actions are part of the problem? If Frank is so afraid, why does he continue to try & control Denise, to dicate her every move? Remember, he LET her be a nurse & he LET her ride the bike...he belittled her for believing in Jeremy's innocence, & then belittled her again when she handled the situation by meeting with Jeremy's attorney. No question Denise was wrong in kissing Ghetti, but Frank still doesn't get that their problems aren't about Ghetti, he refuses to see that his attitude & his treating Denise like his child is part of it....Its not all Denise faults, & until Frank realizes that his caveman attitude is part problem, I don't have much sympathy for him.. -- Jennifer, 08:50:02 08/25/08 Mon [1]

Things are fine as long as Frank controls things, as long as Denise is locked up in the house & Frank can treat her like his troops or her father. He'd better learn to accept the changes & LISTEN to her, instead of continuing to try & bully her into doing what he wants.

[> [> [> Because Franks an idiot Jennifer.....lol. I can't stand him and I wouldn't be heartbroken at all if she divorces him. I totally agree with your assessment of Frank Jennifer. -- Kelly, 19:22:24 09/04/08 Thu [1]
