Though if I'm honest, I thought he was an asshole from that entire conversation where he and his mother instruct Helen about how to bring up her son, and he responds to her arguments with that 'you women, always having to have the last word!' thing.

I can only assume that Arthur lowered her standards so far that Gilbert seemed a sweetheart in comparison. Or something.
