I agree 100%....I read that he had hit his girlfriend... only after she "nailed" him twice in the " twig and giggleberries".... I think its not right for a man EVER to hit a woman... but the sames goes for women....not only is a painful .. but could cause damage....I'm glad he stopped drinking.... But I think he should move on and recover from this heartbreak.... and find a new life clean and sober...Best of luck
