I started dating a friend after he had a tumultuous breakup with his pregnant wife. (They only married for insurance.) Naturally, he claimed she was “crazy”, but he forgot to mention his anger management issues as one of the sources of the unrest. I provided the emotional labor he needed to get through this major life change, namely becoming a single father, while he still lived with his parents at 29. They never got divorced, despite her also dating someone else and not telling her partner of the insurance marriage. I ignored the field of red flags for three years.
