Helps try to set him up for dates, helps him improve himself, helps him meet people, work out, speak better, literally any and everything but every single thing just makes him angrier and worse each time. Nothing works. She tries everything. Time after time he just becomes colder and more distant. She starts to notice he's not eating, he's lost all interest in anything that's not sleeping. He's started talking about giving his stuff away.
She's terrified and makes an irrational decision because it's all she has left. It's this or he's dead. Child buried.
