Here it is. He says “Cindy and I are breaking up” - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it’s a “no compromise” Malt, he assures us.

    I guess at a certain point in life you just say fuck it and go back to what you know.

    Or you’ve been abused for so long as well as isolated from all your friends and family, that you’re easily manipulated back in to a situation you('ve been made to) feel you can never escape.

        First of all, let me introduce you to this little word:

        or

        it means one could be, or another could be. It is not an assertion.

        Now to the point:

        Imagine that, a guy who centres his entire life around booze to a degree that he prioritises recording a booze review for an audience of zero over interacting with his partner that is walking out on their relationship, is setting of some red flags.

        Also imagine that - people who have suffered domestic abuse can recognise those red flags from miles away while those who haven’t sit there and smugly brush them off. I bet plenty of the people here also say shit like “if it was that bad she would have left” which is why I made my comment explaining why victims of abuse either don’t leave or leave and then go back.

        But hey, it’s all jokes to those of you who think this shit will never impact you personally.

          Or two people mended their relationship. Nobody is perfect. For all we know that review could have been after his tipping point. People do weird shit when they feel they can’t take anymore. Like reviewing whiskey while your wife is leaving.
