β™§ – how do the characters involved in the pairing respond when asked about their romantic life (such as if they have a partner)? does the answer change depending on the asker?

In their public lives Harry and Norman are both at least somewhat obsessed with projecting the white bread image of a happy, successful nuclear family. Norman calls himself a ‘widower’ and says he’s ‘only married to his work these days’.

Harry, meanwhile, (in the 70s) describes himself as as ‘a bit of a swinger’ when he’s in college, and then ‘happily married’ (a lie) once he’s with Liz. However, when the timeline loops and Harry is a teen in the 2000s, he just says “its complicated” about his love life πŸ˜†

In their criminal lives it’s a different story, of course. I think Norman-Goblin probably just laughs, or makes an offcolor remark if you ask him. Harry-Goblin meanwhile describes actively himself as ‘a nasty degenerate pervert with daddy issues.’ πŸ˜‰
