My sister in law's partner has walked out for the 3rd time
It could have happened more times but that's how many times I know about.
It appears he is walking out because he has unresolved issues with his dad passing away some years ago he has never addressed which is why he keeps walking out.
It seems to be permanent this time as he has told his mum and moved back in and started buying paint and a new bed so it feels final.
My main issue is he keeps dangling the string to her and saying out paths may cross again and I love you etc.
My sister in law would blatantly get back with him if she could and they have been trying for a baby for the last few years and recently got a cat which he wanted to fix the relationship
Not sure a baby would fix that either TBH. Never does.
She hates being by herself and is worried she will never have a baby if the relationship dies. Seems she would rather have him and be in an unreliable relationship than find someone who values her.
