Well, to expose these feet of clay...
I was in roughly that situation some years ago and reacted the same way the guy did.
Truth is, I think it was probably ego that caused it. Kinda like, "You did this to me, so now I have to prove that I'm tough and not talk to you." An eye for an eye. Of course, even thirty some years later, there's still this little tiny corner of my heart reserved for her.
The good news is that after all the heartache and brain damage, the first woman and I are pretty good friends, and I've been married to the second for over thirty years.
All's well that...well, you know.
Go figure.
