The fact is Glynda is almost certainly an Iron Maiden. Ironwood's probably the only one even close to cracking her shell (and probably did in the past) precisely because of his relentlessness and preseverance, until their differences set them apart again.

Then again, Ironwood just waiting at a side and staying faithful to Glynda despite being shunned sounds pretty logical too.
