It came after he had lost it when Aaron took control of booking their wedding without consulting him.<\/p>\n<p>John apologised to his fianc\u00e9 and talked about his control issues. He said: \u201cI feel like I never measure up. I feel a bit of a failure. That\u2019s why I keep everyone at arm\u2019s length because the only way I can handle my feelings is be being in control.

Did he try to \u2018fix it\u2019 for Aaron by making sure his lover was not a murderer and saving Anthony\u2019s life? This would have \u2018put it right\u2019, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Was he trying to \u2018prove himself\u2019 worthy of Aaron\u2019s love?
