I know you do... and I really, really don't. I have tried really hard to like him. I have tried *particularly* hard to see what draws Beleg to him, either in a paternal *or* a romantic way... and I'm still at a loss. I feel bad for him; I know he's laboring under a terrible curse, I know Tolkien has carved out a hugely important place for him at the Last Battle-- so clearly Tolkien loves him as well-- but I just see an overly proud, petulant, self-pitying, dour, ungrateful, hothead who screws over Beleg (and then KILLS HIM-- even if it was an accident), screws over Gwindor, screws over Finduilas, and generally makes everyone miserable. I pity him, but that's about the best I can do. Not that this will stop me from attempting to find sympathy for him, but I will surprise myself if I ever do.
