I feel pretty badly for the guy, and for yourself and those that helplessly had to see that. How do you stop something like that from happening, in yourself, or in your friends?
Actually, thats where I feel like thats where I would head, if I wasnt in my relationship. That the biggest reason I cant change anything in my life, is because it would be 'the last straw' and I would just give up. Almost like I'm waiting for my partner to find something better to move on to, so I can bury myself, almost, cause I already feel like that person whose friends are waiting for them to just snap out of it and move on.
Apologies for being a downer.
