Cally: Did you really expect him to tell people, "cally asked me to shape up by having sex with her, and by not getting drunk around the kids, and I couldn't agree to either one, so I got out of there."
No, he's going to play the victim card. Perfectly normal behavior from someone in his situation.
So, who were all these "people" he told? Any of them "your" friends? And by "your," I mean the friends that you get in the divorce if there is one.
I just remember when my ex and I split, she told lots of mutual friends about how it was all my fault. Some of them believed her.
When all is said and done, however, it doesn't really matter. Everyone knows that divorces and separations are not solely one party's fault.
