That might all be true, but Matt knows that you can be fairly oblivious to these things when you're in love. He's defended Elektra until he's lost his voice despite knowing full well what she's like.

"I'm not the man she met." To put it plainly. "It was a long time ago and... a lot of things have changed. A lot of things did change when I got here. And... And I was still getting over losing her when she showed up at the inn. I felt her die. And we're trying to make it work like none of it happened, trying to go back to how it was, but. I don't want a caretaker. I want her back, before everything happened." And he knows that's not possible. Not in his current state. But he still entertains fantasies of being blissfully ignorant and stupidly happy.

"If we leave this place I'm going to lose her. Again."
