I figure something happened at the conversation he had with the ladies, bringing him to shortly leave the party, I could be wrong tho. In either case tho, we must admit that what transpired was ,ultimately, not Richard's fault. This is her fkd up family's fault, no-one could have predicted they would behave this shamefully (not even Courtney). Could this have been somewhat prevented if Richard stuck around? Most definetly. We'll need to wait to see what happens next and how Richard will explain himself.
On the other point you brought up, FUCK HER BROTHER!! WHO IS HE CALLING FAT??? genuinely cannot stand any family member of hers besides the kiddo. I'm hopping he comes live with her at some point and her other relatives just drop dead.

Genuinely i hate richard. Hes feeling like just another pathetic man who can't do shit. He needs to actually step in. And im still pissed at her brother calling her fat!! Like hello????
