Glatt did the math on this one. I agree.

I would question the "history of bad relationships", but other than that it adds up.

Yeah, I'm making an assumption there that he shares a large part of the blame for his failed marriage, but I could be wrong.

Maybe his drinking was the cause, or could be the effect. Even so, one failed marriage doesn't make a history, or an awful lot of us would be historical figures.

True. It's the serial monogamists you gotta watch out for. Can't stand one week by themselves = scary/clingy.

I have a friend who has been married 6 times. SIX. I'm like, what are ya, Liz Taylor or something? It's odd to me. Not just the recovering from the bad situation, but the lacksadaisical attitude toward commitment. To me, that means "not very good at commitment" even if they've "committed" SIX times!

I say: ur doin' it rong.

We admitted we were powerless over our drinking - and that our wives had become unmanageable.

Do you take this woman to be your waffle-headed wife?

Thank you all for your insights into this.

At lot has happened since posting this. I have talked to the guy in question and without going into it, I do believe him with what he has said actually happened. I did some of my own digging and what I found corresponds to what he said happened. I have a friend who can do background checks that also confirmed some of the info he had given me.

That being said, he is not living with me anymore. I told him that he needs to get his shit together first and then we can see what happens. During that time, though, I definitely will not be waiting for him. He has already cleared almost everything out of the house and hasn't stayed there at all since all this happened.

Stupid to not cut off all ties completely? Maybe, but I have thought about this a lot and I think this is the way to go.
