There really isn’t a single stable relationship in the strip, is there. Between Dandy & Maryweather’s on again/off again pseudo-relationship, Bernard and Audrey’s weird dynamic and George and Mae’s… WHATEVER that is, everyone’s a little off.
Audrey and Bernard have a completely one-sided relationship and Audrey has the keys. As such, even something as simple as Bernard pointing out that she was mad over nothing is against the rules. I’ve been in that relationship before, and was about as non-confrontational about it as Bernard here. sigh
