Man Gone Wild

by Mary
(NB, Canada)

I was with a man for 7+ years. After a mild argument he dumps me and starts living like a teenager.

His reason for the dump was that he just didn't want a relationship of any kind with anyone. He was a very kind considerate, responsible man.
Now\

He is drinking all the time, not paying his bills, ignoring his kids, sleeping around and has generally become mean ass.....

He is 46 years old. What the hell happened? Like nite and day, scary.

Sounds like a stereotypical midlife crisis. Get some legal advice and protect yourself from having him run up a bunch of bills in your joint names. He will probably grow out of it, but in the meantime look after yourself. If he wants to come back when he grows up, you can decide whether you want him.
