• He met his ex-wife in high school, the two being high school sweethearts. On the outside, they looked like the perfect couple to all their old classmates: having gotten married after graduation, and getting a house in the civilian sector on base after he joined the SAS and was deployed. However, behind closed doors his ex-wife was always abusive, and has been for their entire relationship. He put up with it because his childhood conditioned him into feeling like it was normal, familiar. Even if he's been emotionally checked out of the relationship for years now
