From my understanding, some suicides are done with the primary reason, not necessarily being that the person could not stand living any longer. The primary reason for this select group would be to ‘punish’ specific surviving family or aquaintances. It’s a selfish, hostile and calculated move of someone deeply neurotic, someone who wants to inflict ongoing pain to all concerned.
This is how it appears here; he wants to ‘punish’ his wife for calling 911 and possibly screwing his career up. My take is this man was already spiritually brittle and already suffering from depression, even before he married into this ready made family.
**Why was their marriage supposed to be a secret, and after 3 years? Secret from whom?
Amen.
Or it might be that the fact his life would have been totally f×$@ed forever after because he’s a man is the actual, no s#!+ Sherlock, face value reason he cashed out.
A relational crash of that proportion leaves lifelong scars; a beautiful treasure is totally f’n ruined, and will never be the same, even if it were, by some unfathomable Disney fairy tale magic, cobbled back together.
Words can’t be unsaid, what his girls saw can never be unseen, what happened cannot be undone, and the brutish misandrist legal machine he so rightly damns, would’ve never let him go unharmed.
So, you tell me where his shining hope was?
Gandalf isn’t coming.
The ring didn’t make it into Mt. Doom.
Sauron won.
