Overall, I think the overriding problem here was this guy himself. I don't really see this woman as being any more or less conniving or devious than any other beautiful woman. Her selfish, domineering, and entitled behavior is about what you would expect. He should have known what he was getting.
Of course, a more nurturing, caring type would have been just the ticket for this poor soul. He was so wound up with "performing" like a organ-grinder monkey for everyone: in his work, job, home, office, whatever. He had no identity of his own. He was a slave to what others thought of him.
He was empty inside because his entire life was focused on false status, on collecting trophies, and on impressing everyone around him. Everyone but himself.
Because he could fool everyone but himself. At the end of the day, he had to look at himself in the mirror. And all he saw was a scared rat.
From looking at his eyes, his demeanor, and overall presentation, it's clear that he has some psychological problems. He is a deeply insecure, flawed person. Others have noted here that he likely was medicated. Or heavily medicated.
This should be another cautionary tale to us to remember that material things (women, money, cars, businesses, etc) can't fill the inner void that a man feels. Men are not mechanical contrivances.
We can't just be wound up and sent on our way like Energizer bunnies. To sustain us, we need something deeper, more profound, something that comes from within.
And this person never cultivated his own identity. His entire "identity" was built around his material possessions: his toys, his money, his useless trophy wife.
He who doesn't spend his time to develop his identity and inner strengths, but instead wastes his energy chasing Rolex watches, trophy wives, expensive cars, and other meaningless things, can expect nothing but pain and self-destruction.
And once his biggest trophy (his "wife") was pulled out from under him, he had no further reason to live. There are many men like this today, floating around, their chests puffed up with false arrogance, that one pinprick of hardship will deflate.
She was not the problem. Don't blame her. He was the problem.
It should be a lesson to us all.
