"I completely agree. Edith was interested in Dr. Ellingham, Louisa is more interested in or at least intrigued by Martin. We all know that DM is more comfortable in his medical persona, so it would be easier to be with Edith than with Louisa, but the human being in DM cries out for be accepted for what it is, not what he does.
That's why I also take Edith's efforts to help DM with his haemophobia with a bit of salt, as I can't help thinking she partly did it to make him interesting for her again."
This is from the closed section so I cannot formally quote it, but I just wanted to comment that picking on Edith this way isn't fair as LG has spent all her on/off years with DM doing the exact same thing--trying to make him acceptable to her on the emotional realm of things.
Both women are really going after DM in their own ways, but we root for LG as 1) we like her better and 2) her way is more emotional and healing both to her, DM, and them as a couple--they will both grow more in positive ways.
