But Ebby sees this too: that nothing excuses Henry’s behavior. No matter that it might have been difficult for Henry to be with Ebby at times, and that the prospect of being linked to her indefinitely might have come to feel like too much. People fall in love, they dream, then adjustment kicks in. Sometimes disillusionment. Fine. But Henry was a shit about it. That hasn’t changed. Nothing excuses the fact that he didn’t call her on their wedding day. That he didn’t show up and face her like a man.
