..... I wonder if the wife left, hoping the husband would get his act together, but was trying to keep him involved, and maybe needed a little break....

Snipped the above from your original post so that I could reply that I think your assumption is a good one. I went through FB posts from years ago on both their pages and my observation is that JG was seeking to create a stable life for Ember and part of that was transforming MG into "family man". JG even at 19 seems to be the driving force behind pushing for a normal family unit. There are posts about only lecturing out of love and to the effect that she is pushing for the betterment of MG. Mind you, this is all interpretation based on posts and memes so bear with my line of thought knowing that FB is a very poor way to form opinions of someone .
Jumping over to MGs FB posts - prior to Ember's birth, he seemed free spirited in his ways - almost struggling to keep a job for whatever reason and perhaps living on the fringe.
There's drama with the ex but he's doing his own thing for the most part.
After Ember is born, JG posts that she and MG are heeding the friend's suggestion to remain individuals and give each other space.
In turn , MGs posts seem to be those of the family guy that JG requires: a loving, protective father especially when dealing with Embers medical issues .
I assume this to be genuine and it could have very well been. At those moments, he could have been putting so much effort in sticking this relationship out and making everyone happy ...but maybe not himself .
This whole relationship seems to hinge on the fact that they have a child to raise. This child isn't easy to walk away from emotionally or financially with all the medical needs. He posted that he will take any job because the trip for Ember's hospital stay cleaned them out. So within a few months he has...
Taken on a full time live-in wife - a change because of Ember.
Is Exhausted - because of Ember
Has to work like never before - because of Ember
Parents get thru these things but what if he wasnt on board with all of these changes and commitments. What if he wanted desperately to do right by his parents and everyone else depending upon him but also wanted to free himself from all these limitations? How does he relieve that burden without having to tell his wife and everyone that he wants out? Divorce is the obvious way and the choice most make but I question why others go to the extreme and could that have happened here? I find it odd that when MG had either of his kids he posted an invitation to join him. I can see asking close family but i would think he'd want that alone time . All of this is to say that I think he struggled and was conflicted - maybe felt trapped?
with that ....today is another day and we could hear that MG was innocent after all and someone else took Ember . I would like for MG to be the good Dad that I see on FB and prove me wrong . His words to his own dad are loving and that is why I try to hold out hope here but it's fading .
