I feel this is accurate. He avoids all problems and pushes them aside. Not just the divorce. Anything sort of daunting he just would not deal with and shut down when asked about. He didn’t have a steady job when I met him, and I encouraged him and he finally did that after several months. I just feel like I stood by his side waiting for him to fulfill his end of the deal. He said bitterly that him helping me through my breakup was equivalent. His issues were way more serious.

We had such a fun summer last year but he changed so drastically it was a complete 180. I feel so sad because I’m afraid that maybe the divorce was the only thing that would stress him that much, but I think logically that’s not true.
