They've been together 15 years, have big children etc.
But his chasing of other women, texting, phoning etc. is driving my friend crazy. No proof of affairs.
He always comes back full of remorse but the cycle continues, Drinking, rows, chasing women etc.
He can be explosively angry unless he's had a drink or a smoke.
He has agreed to go to Relate to save the marriage but I'll believe it when I see it.
Just out of interest - does anyone know if a man like this can ever change???? I just can't see it myself. What does it take to get someone like this to change? I think Al-anon would be good but my friend is reluctant.
Feel terrible about what she goes through with him but she does say 'for better or for worse'. I think this is Beyond Worse!!!
