In my opinion, based on this story and what he said at the conference, he went down there to break up in person, because this separation made him realize he had to shape up.

Sure, the first free time he has in weeks, he spends seven days and seven nights breaking up with his girlfriend, while his sons are talking to their imaginary friend on Father's day.

As his wife said, she separated from Sanford 2 weeks ago, kicked him out of the house, and asked him not to contact her or the family.

So yes, the first free time he got after his separation, he ran down to Argentina to break up with the woman, so he could reconcile with his wife.

He should have done this months ago, and the wife suffered long before she decided she had to separate to get him to do the right thing.
