Oh, and what happened with him and ExW - EXACTLY the same thing! He mistook relationship complacency on her part as the desire to not be married, so he moved on to other women while still married. I once told him he will always search for the euphoria of new love versus snuggling in to the comfort of forever. I also told him he always takes the path of least resistance. He avoids hard emotional work. He couldn't and didn't argue those points.
