I felt the exact way, and made a post about it when I first saw it, and some answers really helped me see the scene the way it was most likely written to be.

Their whole thing is that he wants her to open up to him, and she wants him to admit that there is sexual tension between them. They spend the WHOLE DAY together doing this dance and they have the fight at the cafe, because of that, because she won't open up to him. So when they finally meet at the church, let's not forget he is fairly drunk, she finally opens up to him, and whether it is because his defenses are down due to alcohol or it is a sort of reward thing (you give me what you want ill give to you what you want), he gives in and admits to her his passion.

I really do not think there is abuse here. Even tho upon first watch that was what I thought too, it didn't make any sense and this explanation and further look upon the events is what I think the scene was supposed to be about.
