If this man was prone to acting irrationally, had little patience, and was generally the type to revert to extremes, then how do you explain the fact that he'd already spent five hours shopping with his girlfriend without blowing his lid?[/quote]
Easy, according to the storyline, she appeared to be a habitual shoe shopper; he seemingly knew this, yet, he continued to subject himself to these trips to the mall.
Why, because he was probably a man in love. A man who believed he could make her change, what he saw as an unnecessary habit, while supporting her habit. He failed because somewhere in that heated argument, she let the skinflint know she’d rather have the shoes than him because that is what happen when you try to argue with, and take away an obsessed angry woman’s toys.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
Doesn’t make a difference what his other problems were. We all now know him as the man who killed himself over some shoes. Shoes she’ll wear while looking for a new man to feed her shoe habit.

Perhaps instead of throwing the other bags into the air and giving up on life, he should have returned all of the merchandise purchased throughout the day on his way back to the car. That would have really pissed off the girlfriend and her Christmas spirit.
wow ... the only thing i would add is that there is a cultural difference here that contributed heavily into this ... obviously, we can only speculate but it's clear that this "girlfriend" drove him over whatever edge he was on ...

Don't they have divorce court in China?

And on a side note... seriously, what the fuck is the deal with women and shoes? Are shoes really 'cute'? And if they are, how the hell would a guy know in a shoe is cute or not? They're SHOES!
...
P.S. To you women who insist on dragging your guy to go shoe shopping with you... here's a little 'Guy' secret.
Us guys will tolerate shoe shopping with you, just in case we get to look down a cute girl's top when she's bending over or up her skirt when she's trying on a pair.
Get smart, ladies. Leave your guy at home when you go shoe shopping.
Most underpaid profession is women's shoe salesperson. Seen lady try on 10 pairs then get up and leave. Probably common.

True.
Michael Douglas would understand.
He had one of those "Oh Shit!" moments
Great film.
