The May text....
She well deserved every single word and accusation (all true) he lobbed at her. IMO, though, the sheer volume and intensity of his rage was partially a result of keeping it bottled up for so long, and not all of it was directed at her. He says so himself in the text.
He said he felt destroyed from the inside out, by her, and that she had deliberately tried to destroy him out of hatred, but he also accepts partial responsibility for "allowing" her to do so, attributing it to his own weakness.
He tells her -fine, destroy me, we'll destroy each other, I surrender, let us just be truthful about what we're doing. She even tells HIM, not vice versa, that he should move on (yes, a manipulation. she was toying with him throughout).
My two points about the text- there wasn't enough time between the text and his murder for any gradual or additional evolution of his thoughts or feelings towards her. He had just days left.
Second, when he read the text to Taylor, his BF with whom he had many guy-to-guy conversations about GF's and dumping them etc, Taylor's first response to TA was- whoa, man, that's harsh.
I think I'll wait to see all of TA's texts for May and June before I make up my mind for the (maybe) last time about whether or not TA would have responded to her guilt tripping him about stopping by, or to any other strategy she had to get him to open the door.
And about what did or did not come next. What I'll say now though is that TA absolutely did get intimate with her immediately following the slashing of his tires, even while he was telling others that he thought she was responsible, and even those folks were rightfully telling TA she was a psycho.
