Anna was naive and sheltered. A charming guy comes along and pushes all the right buttons to win her over, and she wants his steamy foreign sausage so badly she sugarcoats the things that don't work ("we finish each other's" - "...sandwiches!"). No actual good person in his position would be pushing her into marriage like that; he would've said "fuck no, we just met" the same way Elsa did.
To someone who only knows fairytale romance - be they Anna or the moviegoer - he seems like the perfect lover. But to someone who has actually been in a relationship with that sort of person, every scene with him is uncomfortable and scary.
