John acts just like my ex, and Neve has the same way of handling it that I do : Poor Neve, I feel for her too much, I even had a ferret named after her, lol said.
She trashed her career for him because he would keep telling her they were going to get married and she should prepare for it so she would turn down work during that time period and then he would cancel the wedding a month or two before, just to mess with her.
He is a bitter old curmudgeon, who treats people horribly, because he is a truly miserable person.
