I'm not questioning your decision, but this person's behavior strikes me as that of a victim of psychological and emotional abuse. I don't know the guy, so obviously I lack the whole story. But being abused can really mess people up. He could have been so afraid of defying his wife that he felt helpless to oppose her rotten attitude.So, that was 8 years ago. Truth is, he is a coward. I knew him for over 20 years before he married, and he changed drastically afterwards. Watching him allow her to bully him constantly sapped me of any respect I once had for him. That he was willing to forward her rottenness to his friends, and not even have the grace to look sheepish or cop to it, sealed the deal.
I cut people off so easily it frightens me. I don't do it because I wish to be alone. It's the only way I can cope with life. I find people exhausting, unpredictable, and ever changing. It's hard to keep up the pace, so I just switch off.
