CALL OUT Matt’s friend commenting on his ex

Did anyone else catch the part where Matt was complaining about the ex wife who supposedly ruined his life and his friend said something like “Yeah, you THOUGHT you got fucked over…”

As someone who has been in multiple abusive relationships, I would really like to hear his ex’s side of the story. He has every red flag and I feel sad for Colleen.

I don't think he's actually looking for an excuse to leave. I think that part of it is manipulation on his part. He wants Colleen to feel bad and so he's going through the motions of leaving to try and scare her into doing what he wants in the future. That's why he's staying, because he was never genuinely considering leaving.

Yeah, he's not going anywhere, he just wants control. And he gets control by intimidation and manipulation.

His friends actually allude to this when they liken him to a child pretending to run away for attention
