Monica and Linda are both stressed during their intersection and their insights reflect this anxiety. Bill emerges from this dialogue as more passive in his relationship with Monica then in his earlier love affairs with Dolly and Gennifer or in his courtship of Hillary for that matter. He met Hillary in his twenties and Gennifer in his thirties. He met Dolly in his teens when he was really quite inhibited in his relations with girls but later in his twenties and thirties he was not so passive in his affair with her . Of course not but love is life.
Examples muster themselves.
Monogamous Truman was at least as active in love as adulterous Roosevelt. Both were active Presidents. LBJ was an active President while Bush was a more passive president though both had affairs. Bill's deceptions speak in the tapes. His changes of mind and heart during their affair deceive Monica and perhaps Bill himself according to the Monica-Linda tape duet.
