She’s already made up her mind.
Howard doesn’t see it. He tries bargaining, apologizing (without ever saying the words I’m sorry), pleading. When that fails, out come the threats, the fits of anger, the hints at suicide. He thinks about hitting her, because it’s just so unfair, but he throws his phone agains the wall instead.
It’s worse that she doesn’t get angry at his anger. She’s quiet. Resolute.
He tries convincing her he’ll be better. But his apologies are just excuses. He still refuses to say he’s sorry, wouldn’t matter if he did.
