What a reader can infer about the relationship of Adam and Eve from the reading is that:
They had a tense relationship
What was the relationship between Adam and Eve like in the text?
Evidence from the text reveals that Adam and Eve had a 'not so good ' relationship. From the text, we can see the couple had a hard relationship.
After the wife told her husband that she was dropping the gift, he did not react in a very notable way. He simply kept on doing what he was doing at that time. The relationship between the couple was not smooth and it seemed from the text that they had a history of a rough relationships.
A piece of evidence from the text that can be used to support the point that the couple did not have a very smooth relationship is this: "And I thought that perhaps when he did notice he might be upset and want to talk. I put some things away and fiddled around a little, but he continued to do what he was doing and to take no notice of anything else." So, the man showed a lot of disinterest in what the woman was saying.
