Yeah, that was sarcasm. I can see your point too. I guess I am in the camp that this M needs to get moving or it will end in D. As long as he is in the red zone, has all that anger and borders on violence, there is little anyone can do. What Heather really needs to do is give a good yank on his choker leash to snap him out of it.
I think he is steeped in self pity. He can only see his pain. He really wants Heather to rescue him but he blames her for putting him in the position of needing to be rescued in the first place and he because he is mad at her, he won’t let her rescue him. Talk about a Catch 22! He considers himself an innocent bystander, so I think that is why he feels like she is calling the shots.
Sooooo, if Heather jumps his bones, does it really compromise her integrity? She might think so, or she might see herself as the bigger person, willing to lay aside her ego, make herself vulnerable and take a chance to repair he marriage. Plus I’m not sure he would see it as a violation of her integrity anyway. His standards seem pretty low.
