She works in education, so has the school holidays off. When it's term time, things between them seem okay, although the constant bad-mouthing is always there. But as soon as the school holidays approach, she finds a reason to kick him out. Then she lets him make up with her and say sorry, which always falls to him, just in time for the new school term and her free childcare.

My ex is a good man and does everything for her and her kids, often to the detriment of spending time with the son we have together. Every time he's kicked out, I'm the first to hear about it. I'm happy to lend an ear, but what I'm seeing from the outside is a toxic and perhaps abusive relationship that he's stuck in.

I've tried my best from every angle I can think of to give him the courage to really look at his relationship. When things are bad, he agrees and says all the right things about ending it and focusing on his mental health. He knows it's a harmful relationship, but he can't help himself. He ends up back with her, ready for the cycle to start all over again.

I can see the damage that this is causing, not only for him, but also for her children, who are caught up in the instability, and for my son, who's starting to doubt that his dad is a good role model. Do you have any advice about what I can say to finally convince him that he's worth more than this? Signed, Liberating My Ex From The Hex Of This Vexed Complex

Yeah. Is her husband a little disconnected from his emotions? Does he have a high tolerance for other people's crazy? Maybe. Is it hard for him to understand people's intentions or fully empathize with other people? Because all of those things would make it harder for him to see how dire the situation is.

I think it starts by slowing down and really helping him take stock of what he is going through right now, how he feels about this woman and what's drawing him back to this relationship again and again. And also I would say how he's feeling about himself and his life in general apart from her, because I think that's probably also playing a role.

We don't know for sure, but I would not be surprised if a lot of their conversations go like this. Dude, Denise is insane. You are at her beck and call. You keep driving down there. You say you're going to break up and then you don't. This is toxic. She's abusing you. You need to get out. And he's like, I know, I know I got to do it. I'm going to do it this time. He doesn't.
