I never heard her say anything nice about this guy. Not even once. He even paid for her entire wedding and she was still ungrateful and said he "didn't do enough". She was constantly stating that she wished he would drop dead so she didn't have to deal with him anymore.
Last night (after she had been bashing him all day because her husband went to see him instead of hanging out with her) he had a heart attack and had to be revived twice. He is now in a medically induced coma. She has been emailing me all day saying "I can't do this" or "I'm so heart broken" but hasn't once even mentioned what her husband might be going through (since it is his father and they are extremely close).
She has even gone to the extreme of pawning her daughter off on me so she can go spend time with her husband while they "grieve together". When she got here to drop her daughter off she didn't even look upset. She was smiling and laughing the entire time. Whenever her father in law was mentioned she would start rubbing her eyes (causing them to get red) and rather forcefully start hyperventalating (you could tell she was trying to hard to do this).
Is she really trying to make people pity her? What is she trying to do?
I've seen her do this in the past and she will literally soak up everyone's pity and use it to her advantage. Even collecting money from people because she used it as a free ticket to get out of work for a month due to her "grieving".
I'm finding it hard to take any of her sob stories seriously anymore. Especially when she did nothing but shit all over this guy and say she wished he would die constantly so that her husband would spend time with her instead of his father.
Do you think she's being sincere or is this simply just to make people feel bad for her?

In his email the next day, he said he really loves me and cares about me, and wants to work it out. He feels that I treat him like a king most of the time. Sometimes, we get into arguments about little things, but they spiral out of control (which leads to me not letting go of an issue, and him swearing at me or punching a wall.) I walk away or sometimes he does, and later we would talk when things cool down. However, frequency of our fighting is taking a toll on both of us. I have not responded to any of his calls, texts, messages, or emails. He has also contacted my family to ask if I'm okay. I didn't want to respond because I was so hurt that he broke up with me, and I'm still hurt. He sent me another message saying to take my time, and then contact him when I'm healed. He's really a wonderful person (e. g. my flip flops broke, and he would give me his sandals so I would not have to walk barefoot, he takes me on fun vacation trips, he makes me laugh when I'm having a bad day at work). I'm taking my time because I don't know if he's going through the grieving process of losing me or if he truly thinks I'm the one he wants to be with in a long-term relationship if we can work out and stop the fighting. I'm also fearful because it really hurt when he broke up with me; I practically felt sick and could not work. Is it possible to lessen the frequency of the fighting? Should I go back to him? How should I even respond? I'm 28, and he's 33.
