I know he has a rationale for why we should stay here. I have a great job that I couldn't get anywhere else, and the kids are thriving. Add to that the teenager starting in a new school, well, you just don't want to upset that too many times at that stage in their life.
But yes, it stinks! He basically tricked us into being here, then left. Then he felt guilty (no kidding!). Now he can't figure out what he wants.
He keeps asking his mother (grrrrrr), who is a narcisstic emotionless person, who has not called her grandchildren ONCE in a year now. She tells him it's OK, he's right, leave his wife and kids, the bad feelings will pass and he will be the happiest man on earth.
