A Merlino being a spoiled brat? What a surprise.
I don't understand that mentality towards Salvie.
Would they prefer he marry the girl and go carousing with other mobsters all the time instead?
Yes" Absolutely is acceptable , In there world for the married man to run with Women outside the marriage .
What is not Acceptable , is for him to do it while they were engaged , then turn around and leave her the way he did .
No doubt " One of the highest forms of disrespect you can do to a Italian girls family , is what he did , when and the way he did it ...
