Mart wrote a two page note to me, as we were talking about our break-up. He got upset with me because I made a joke about a guy in one of those oversized trucks with five foot diameter tires, whom neither of us knew. He wrote this about himself and his reaction.

I have never considered that. This letter shows some of those characteristics.

Obviously, he is sad, insecure, and angry. I had determined I did not want to live with this kind of anger any longer. It was unwarranted. He had not always been so insecure about me. In fact, it was quite the opposite, for many years.
That I was leaving was baked in, in my mind. My reaction to this note was he was just being controlling again. Empathy was not on my mind.
