* OnlyKnownByHerNickname: We never do learn Slim's real name. She states in the beginning of the film that she uses the nickname to ward off and protect herself from creepy guys whilst at work, but even after getting with Mitch and later marrying him (and his eventual thorough and repeated attempts to locate her after she absconded with Gracie to escape his abuse), it's still not revealed.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Mitch uses his identity as a man to justify his routine cheating on Slim, stating that men and women have different needs, Except he doesn't seem to pick up on the fact that a woman could potentially cheat on her husband as many times as she wants, with Mitch flying into a rage after seeing her back with Joe. However, given his callous personality, it's far more likely he's just making up excuses, and the real reason is because of how self-focused he is on his personal desires, seeing no harm done.

* {{Narcissist}}: While it's his possessive personality that motivates most of his actions through out the film, Mitch also appears to have an exaggerated sense of self-importance that contributes.
** He's a wealthy and powerful man who uses his social status as the breadwinner to justify his cheating and other things that Slim didn't approve of, all while showing little empathy by demanding her to get over it and that marriage isn't always fair, while barely acknowledging how much she's done for him and their marriage, partially by stating how his needs and desires aren't being fulfilled in a marriage he's otherwise grateful for. Furthermore, It's also implied that Mitch is paying his men and Robbie in one way or another in exchange to do his bidding, just like the man he bought the house from, not to mention conning and sleeping with multiple women behind their back, as well as showing arrogant overconfidence despite all of his setbacks, even pretending to put on a show of not being confused during the final showdown when he very much is. All of these behaviors have been noted as classic symptoms of the Narcissistic/Egotistical individual, particularly the first example. It goes to show that he always places his own existence above others at all time, no matter what setbacks could occur, including for his emotional state.

* {{Narcissist}}: While it's his possessive personality that motivates most of his actions through out the film, Mitch also appears to have an exaggerated sense of self-importance that contributes. He is clearly self-absorbed as he repeatedly exploits others for his own personal gain, while prioritizing his own feelings and desires at the expense of others and displaying [[LackOfEmpathy little empathy]] each time.
** He clearly has a delusional/fake sense of superiority over others, as he can't and won't take "no" for an answer even over typical requests that are "important" to him, even if it is unreasonable. He also believed that because he was the breadwinner, that he had more of a right than Slim to decide how their lives worked. He also insisted that she should be grateful for him giving her a happy life and therefore tolerate his decisions, even though he admitted that his own business was more important than her making him happy. He lied to women about his circumstances, as well making himself look like a hero, solely for the purpose to manipulate them into going out with him.
** The opening montage seems to focus on this rather than his obsessive side. During the wedding, he asks Slim, "Are you going to give ''me'' babies?". He then completely ignores Slims when she ''commands'' him to give their newly born daughter to her in a very casual tone. Oh, and he lies about a call clearly coming from his mistress being from construction, revealing that he was cheating on her since the beginning of the marriage.

*FatalFlaw: Mitch displays this in a combination of {{Greed}}, {{Pride}}, and {{Lust}}.



* {{Greed}}: {{Implied|Trope}} to be an especially major problem out of a few for Mitch. He has a high position, social standing, nice marriage, and he's willing to prioritize chasing women over all of these benefits, to the point of losing control of them, when he refuses to accept that. Whether this has more to do with actual self-serving greed or is mostly based on an obsession with being with women appears to be mostly ambiguous.

* StrawMisogynist: Both Mitch and Robbie are this. They conned women into sleeping with them for personal gratification and discarded them after some time. Robbie seems to be far more open about it though, if the scene where he helps Mitch track down Slim is any indication, while Mitch is more of a narcissist.
