They just didn't seem like people who wanted to grow with each other, much less grow old with each other. Trying to tiptoe around spoilers: I can see why he wouldn't be into pacifism, but why is he antifeminist if he turned away from pacifism because of a girl?

Tess is a strident liberal who berates people for not living, dating and decorating the way she thinks they should, her love interest is almost eerily manipulative once she moves in with him (I mean, how many people are going to stay with a guy who throws away your stuff and then presents you with replacements he picked out?), and Norbert Welch is an absolute caricature of a conservative (whose motives for becoming as wholeheartedly conservative as he did make no sense to me.
