Re the issue of being a broken man - my impression of someone who is broken is that they are unable to function - work, eat, sleep, relate to friends etc.
I think he is more than managing all of this...
What I did read this morning which was interesting is that often, in masked depression, they van be aggressively fervent about this new life and the OW. Nothing will stand in their way. They want to "live" - in WAPs case he wanted "rejuvenation"......
It is like he is going full pelt into something new and completely different to what I ever knew of him or saw him do.
I can safely say that, as Job said, he was detaching for about 5 months very slowly but I NEVER saw BD coming. IT WAS A TOTAL SHOCK.
