I think it's the opposite thing. They can't be alone, they crave attention and validation. A desperate need to have someone around.
I was thinking more in the sense of "doing something that will lead to breaking-up / divorce" and "acting as if you're already single when you're not".
Weeeell most cheaters don't intend to be caught or confess. But I get your point.
Exactly. This post is like saying men who hit their women are wannabe singles. It massively underestimates the stability of abusive relationships.
Just because one person is abusing the other doesn’t mean the relationship is ending. It would be far less horrifying if that’s what it meant, but that is not what it means.
