I agree that MP is handling this poorly, but I'm having a lot of personal issues myself right now that makes me understand. It took me over two months till the full emotional issues of a break with someone came and hit me full force, and frankly everyone takes differently to a situation like this. Some will be calm throughout, others emotional throughout, and others will flare up at certain times.
Good point, but sorry, that doesn't excuse MP for the way he is handling it. Just because you can understand why someone would lash out the way he has, doesn't make it right or appropriate. You don't give the guy a pass for acting like Mike has. These are professionals, and this is a business. While personally, sure, Mike is struggling and having a hard time, it doesn't excuse his public comments and actions.
You have to be enough of a professional (in Mike's shoes) to say (or in this case, NOT say) the right things. MP completely mucked it up, and looks foolish and sad to say, in my opinion, very selfish.
If Mike has any wits about him going forward, he'll just move forward and leave the past behind until time heals things a bit. Because he looks bad, very very bad.
