The guy is pretty charming when he wants to be. In my unprofessional opinion, he's a sociopath.
I know this type. 240 lb. male vs. 105 lb. female match ups rarely end well for the wife. When I found out, the pussy got his ass handed to him along with promises of future pain. The douchebag moved them out of reach.
He was my best friend, and the woman is my wife's cousin.
They eventually split, but he apparently kept up his ways. One night after a threatening phone call by him, she scooped up her kids and made a hasty retreat. The weather and road conditions were bad, unfortunately...only she survived.
Two children's lives destroyed by acrimonious divorce.
The whole tale is even more depressing. I'm looking at the baby picture of the boy now...damn...he'd be in college right now. Painful to think about.
Anyway...this doesn't really address Ivy's position so I'll stop yammering.
