//Okay, firstly, the idea that you need to be 'dominant' to comfort someone, what the hell?/
In fact, isn’t the act of comforting more commonly seen as “feminine” behavior because it involves nurturing? / Anita's long-running whiteknight complex. Remember, she doesn't really take care of anyone, she just starts singing 'The White Man's Burden'... figuratively speaking, at any rate. So comforting = creepy paternalistic condescension, which is right up the alley of Anitaverse "dominants".
This is also why Jean-Claude is the one most frequently coddling her and patting her ego, if you want to get even more squicked about their relationship...
/Oh, yeah, like he forced you to send Haven away. Oh, wait, you killed him all by yourself and Asher had nothing to do with it. / Ohhh, no, Haven forced Anita to kill him! He MADE her shoot him, Your Honor! He was asking for it!
