The Nemesis

In chapter 42, we learn that Magwitch's nemesis, Compeyson, is also the man who broke Miss Havisham's heart. Her situation becomes even more tragic once the identity of the man is revealed. To throw your life away on such a man? It is almost impossible to fathom why a formerly fine lady would give that level of power to such a scoundrel. He clearly feels no remorse. Her actions accomplished nothing.

Have you ever wasted a portion of your life or devoted more time and energy than you should have to such an undeserving person?
