I have a auntie who left her husband whom try to bite his arm off and then laid his hands on his wife
She went to live with her mother far a few days and she told her straight away don't be so f****** stupid
And she went back to her husband the same day
For some contacts he did lose his own father which was affecting his mental health
That you can see how easy it can be to just leave somebody if there is no marriage
Also from my own experience I have dated a woman for six months and then she ghosted me for another month without telling me
What was happening so I had no idea if she was alive or dead
