She is a goddamn harpy/shrew/vicious cunt, and it's obvious she emasculated him long long ago. I think if I were to suffocate him with a pillow, he would relish a quick and easy death just to get away from the bitch and he would put up no resistance. I have no idea why they never divorced . .. well, I guess I do know, she said no, and that was that.
He's handsome, if he is aware there is a better life out there for him, it would have to be even worse for him knowing it. No body likes her, everyone I know consciously and conspicuously avoids her like the plague. Except him, he's stuck with her.
Poor son of a bitch, euthanasia for him would be a blessing . . . .
I don't know him, and can only go by what you say about him, but, frankly, your neighbor sounds like a dumbass with shit for brains. Did someone point a gun at his head and make him marry her? Is someone pointing a gun at his head and keeping him from leaving her? It seems to me that not only did he choose to live as he does, but he continues to choose to live that way.
I expect someone to tell me that relationships are complex things, and try to make up excuses for someone being a total dumbfuck. However, some of us were smart enough to marry someone who is extremely nice, extremely reasonable, and very smart. (And who has a great body.
) If other people choose differently, what does that tell us about them?None of that is to say that everyone should get married; that is not something I think would be good advice at all. But if you are going to do it, think it through and pick well. Don't make a snap decision on something that can profoundly affect the rest of your life.
