4:43: (Olli tells him to do what the doctors tell him to do, because the docs know more than he, Olli, does) Sure, I'll just do what everybody tells me, and how it is for me, that you don't give a damn about. If you really loved me you would think about me *for a change*.
I'm curious about the translation on this one... in the subtitles, it says Christian said "you would consider my feelings for a change"... that's not the same thing as saying "you would think about me for a change." Because if Christian actually implied that Olli never thinks about him, then clearly he was just saying harsh, hurtful things in the heat of the argument that didn't really have any truth to them.
But if he accused Olli of never considering his feelings, IMO he may have a point. Olli frequently decides what he thinks is best for Christian, but a lot of the time he does act on it without considering how Christian might *feel* about it. Like when he stopped Christian from outing himself at the boxing club, or when he decided Christian needed to have a beard... or more recently when he decided it would be best for their relationship if Christian stopped working at No Limits.
I'm not even saying Olli was wrong in any of those cases... I'm just saying that he does frequently make decisions that he believes are in Christian's best interests without really giving any consideration to whether or not Christian wants him to do those things or will be happy about them. So, if Christian accused Olli or not considering his feelings (as opposed to accusing him of simply not thinking about him, period), IMO he does have a point.
Just to be clear, I am absolutely not saying I think Olli should put Christian's feelings above Christian's physical well-being. I'm just saying Olli does frequently act on whatever he has decided is in Christian's best interests without really giving any consideration to how Christian might feel about those decisions.
