The actual hostility towards the lover was sometimes caused by his illness, his poverty, his harshness to her, his want of learning and the journeys which took him away from her. The hostility could be the result of offended self-esteem, excessive greed, transgression of good conduct or his delay in coming to see her or recourse to some undesirable practices.
