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.

I hear that. But who is that person? Like, why would he be opening up to them about all of this?

What's frustrating about all of this is this guy has a few big things he needs to work on, right? One is obviously ending this relationship. Another is understanding why he got into it and why it's so hard to leave. Another is staying away from people like this in the future.
