I think it may vary on cir***stances. As in grief many variables
play a role. For example,
- length of marriage
- degree of love
- dependents
- income, threat of poverty, or wealth
- mobility
- age
- education
- health
- reason for break-up
I am pretty sure, that if my DH had told me that if
i didn't change my ways about taking medication
as prescribed, he would leave me, i would never
have brought it up again.
But you know, the fact
that he did not, and shacked up with a co-worker,
means he looked for an escape, not to get away from
me so much (as he loved dearly and i did everything
for him), but to get *nearer* to her. Infact, i am
beginning to doubt the story about him fixing her
marriage and travelling to see the *couple*.
I bet he is just visiting her, because he never let me
into his bachelor apartment when "they visisited" nor
did he introduce me to them.
