Given that she would have grown up in the 50s or 60s, she probably thought that was just how men are supposed to behave; the completely ignored toxic masculinity and the rape and abuse of women being normalised when it isn't being outright romanticised is extremely consistent. Once Azhure gets into a relationship with Axis (the lead-in to True Love being, you guessed it, rape), she literally just goes from one abuser to a new one. The shit he does to her just beggars belief, yet is treated as no big deal by the narrative, which brushes it off while drooling over how OMG IN LOVE they are and how wonderful their relationship is.
