Thank you both guys. You're both wonderful for taking your time out to link me the comment with the summary. And thank you to @Trainwreck Watcher for making it too.Provided links
This is honestly attrocious. At times I genuinely feel sorry for Ian, it's like he has absolutely no self-respect and very little self-value. Doesn't help that he's now married to someone who abuses everything about this to her advantage. I don't think I've ever seen a fall off this utterly depressing.
Actually, no. He's outright a victim. A willing victim, mind you, but a victim nevertheless. Even if most of it was assumed prior, he shouldered every single namecalling, every degrading thing, every forced separation from former friends, all of it. It's sad, in the most pathetic kind of way. This whole marriage is in a genuine need of an intervention.
Maybe that's the reason he's struggling to be empathetic to any degree. It's difficult to do if the main presence in your life has none of it for you.
