I found the description of Tom Bombadil meeting Goldberry in 'The Adventures of Tom Bombadil' rather disturbing. He is said to have 'caught' Goldberry 'caught her fast' like she was some wild animal trying to get away from him. This doesn't seem to be a healthy way to start a relationship but I do believe it is the traditional Glasweigan way of starting one. Did Tom force Goldberry into marriage?

I believe vicious temper shown in 'Bombadil Goes Boating' in which he
seemed to threaten every animal in the Old Forest allegedly in jest shows Old Tom Bombadil is not just a merry fellow whose boots are yellow.
