@Mitchiko  If only it were that easy. He's conditioned, not stupid. From the looks of it, he's developed codependency toward Sohwa after years of physical and emotional abuse with a messed up 'reward' system. Logically, he knows he needs to leave, but emotionally he's stuck in place. Codependancy is often developed by the victim within an abusive relationship, which is why you see so many of them struggle to separate themselves from the aggressor despite common sense.
