It is a real male trait IMO, the inability to accept the word No.
He had a big plan and you were a part of it.
He simply cannot fathom that it is not going forward.
He sounds completely unstable and stuck.
I am so glad for you that you dodge such a nightmare scenario.
That mess could take years to extract yourself from if you had gone for it.
It never ceases to amaze me how focused older men are in getting a nurse with a purse.
My golf club is awash with stories, like a bingo card.
100% complete self interest and blindness to the fact that many solvent women having buried or divorced a partner, have zero interest in ever sharing space with a man again.
Enjoy that precious peace.
