Again, think of him as a teenager. When a teenager doesn't get what he wants from his parents, what does he do? He blames his parents. "You're not giving me what I want!" "Don't you see I need this?" "You just don't understand" "You're the problem not me!"
All of this is the script of a person in MLC. So if you do picture him as a teenager, what would you do? Would you bow down to a teenager's wishes? Of course not. You stand strong and let them make their own mistakes. It will happen.
In fact, I would have gone straight and broken up his little deal with the OW. He would get pissed, but it all comes down to consequences. You didn't start this. He did. All you're doing is taking care of yourself and it has nothing to do with him.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
