i'm sure there was a part of him that still had feelings for her. he knew she wasn't 'right' for him but probably kept falling for her crap. i've been guilty of this myself. when i was younger i dated a guy for five years that would do destructive things to my property when he was jealous and i stayed with him because i believed he would change. now i was maybe 19 and travis was almost 30, but i think his 'dating' experience in a sexual relationship was probably equivalent to someone younger and didn't know better. luckily i escaped my weirdo boyfriend, travis was not so lucky. had he lived, he would have gleaned much life experience from that relationship and probably had gone on to marry and spot psycho behaviour from other women before he got involved.
