Poor TVS. Being an invisible support rock for an immature petulant MLCer is a thankless job.
There's probably a whirlwind of confused thoughts swirling around in his poor addled brain. And he keeps making bad choices. On the one hand, Frumpy Twat did not turn out to be the sympathetic loving lotion-slathering partner she advertised herself to be -- too self-centered and too many problems herself to give HIM top priority.
Then his homecoming was not handled spectacularly well. So caught up in this craziness that it didn't occur to him to let his family know he'd be 2 hours late. Missed dinner. Sons do not squeal with delight and smother him with kisses. Wife slightly stressed and anxious with broken compassion-o-meter. Forgets to buy wife gift. Itchy. Tired. Stomach pain. Missed sister's visit. Overwhelming guilt, not sure what to do or say to make it better. So...he leaves to watch TV.
Typical MLC response. Understanding it might or might not make it any easier to live with. Partying probably does a better job. Would you mind a Libra joining you? It takes us 6 hours to decide which dress to wear but we're empathetic LOL!
