Yep. I can absolutely understand him feeling trapped by the responsibilities of the commitments he took on, and I can understand the pandemic making him realize he'd made the wrong choices. If there weren't a kid in the picture, I would be more sympathetic (though I'd still agree with Carolyn that he is not the person who can help his ex be happier when the relationship of a decade is ripped out from under her).

But he's got a kid, who he doesn't appear to give a shit about.

Alestorm's "F'ed with an Anchor" is playing in the background right now. Yep, sums up my feelings towards this pitable excuse for an adult.
