Of Mice and Men/between the line-Conflict

What was the conflict between George and Lenny shared?

From Lenny's perspective, George is the most important person in his life, his guardian and his only friend. Every time he does anything that he knows is wrong, his first thought is of George disapproval. George thinks of Lenny as a constant source of frustration. He has assumed responsibility for Lenny's welfare and has had to run several times because of the trouble Lenny has caused. Life without Lenny is not easy, however despite George's frequent bouts of anger and frustration. His long speeches about how much easier life would be without Lenny. George is clearly devoted to his friend. George and Lenny seem to always be in trouble because of Lenny and his stupid mistakes like killing the puppy and Curley's wife but they always seem to get out of there mess somehow.
