I love how so many people have this distorted perception of him and Demri. The truth is, she was arrested for prostitution while with him, and would have sex with women knowing he would be coming home any minute to make him jealous. She also used him to pay for her medical bills, then went out and did more heroin, essentially reversing the procedures he paid for.

He broke up with her for a reason.
