i think DB is kind of a schlub. she left him in a really bad position with that house. he said at one point he was hoping she would help him by staying in the palm desert house (i THINK i have that right but would have to go listen again) but she had other fish (TA) to fry, apparently, and couldn't even do that for the man she spent 4 years with.
she quit her jobs and stopped helping pay any of the bills or the mortgage. she really did a number on ol' darryl financially.
he also said she never really said it was over. there wasn't an official break up. i think that's what JA did with ALL her men and it's one reason they were never really done with her.
i just think like most of her old BF's, darryl's not very bright. i DO give him credit for not marrying her though, even after 4 years with her.
