Yeah, I see what you mean and the point that you are trying to convey here. It makes sense if you think about it from that perspective.and hugs hutch like a lover but hutch doesn't even embrace her. this just show hutch as a guy who only in love with his wife even when there are younger beautiful women interested in him. this is repeated by vivian in the carpark when talking with christian. thats is y i say hutch didn't mellow out but just a loving husband otherwise we wouldn't even be having this vn... as he would just plain murder christian from what he saw in the backyard. my thoughts aside would any husband do what hutch did... i don't think so
The only way where I see the 'Hutch mellowing out' theory working here, is that he simply just could have gotten accustomed to family man life/status over the two decades and counting of years being married to Vivian.
So he may have very well suppressed that "dominant/playboy" side of himself as he matured past his 20s going into his 30s and 40s, and that could explain why he didn't show much reaction to Addison's playful demeanour towards him at the office.
Hutch might have just gone soft for the sake of preserving his own family life. Either way, just some speculation on my end
