Y'all are going to make him do a Kurt Cobain impression once the reality of just how bad this really is sets in.
That'll be loads of chuckles. Yeah, loads of chuckles.
Dont come to a gun forum for touchy feely relationship advice. If the OP wants help get a couselor instead of asking advice from people you don't know....
After 15 years of being ignored, she finally said "there has to be more to life than this...Why the hell am I still here? What's in it for me?"...According to his own words, he's a selfish prick. (I added the prick part for dynamics) He has a lot of making up, sucking up, kissing up to do, and I'm of the mind this woman will respect him even less for it. It shouldn't have taken her leaving to wake his ass up. I'll bet she kicks herself for taking it so long, especially after seeing his reaction to her finally showing some independence...I've seen this crap a thousand times. One person takes the other for granted for too long and then one day boom...The one who has been mistreated wakes up, says to hell with this, stops giving a ****, and everything flip flops...The roles reverse and the one who took the other for granted for years goes crazy insane because of their own guilt. And kids or no kids there are some women who reach a point where they make up their minds and when that point is reached, bye.
