I would have committed suicide long ago but I didn't want to set a bad example for my kids.
Kurt Vonnegut paraphrase. (Ron, literal quote is always appreciated)
If you have kids you just have to figure out another way to deal with your bleak situation. Killing yourself ruins the lives of your kids, and maybe even your spouse. (maybe
)
If you are all alone, go ahead.
Nobody gives a damn. (Queen)
Man that is a pretty extreme act over a GF. She may be sorry. But she no doubt is happy he didn't kill her first. If I were her I'd be relieved he is gone.
