Hi Sportguy44,
To answer some of your questions
why do they promote participants getting healthier relationships from doing their course? Because that is the bait to lure someone in.
Why does a person who took the course then run from a good relationship? I can't answer that one specifically but,from my own lgat experience,they put huge pressure on you to bring all your friends and family to their fold. Its exhausting. About every 15-20 mins over 3 days, a bit like the advert breaks on TV, they keep reminding you how much better this experience will be for you if you bring your family and friends along to be converts.
From this I can conclude, that if a person is committed to this new way of life and they don't want to be around any one who doubts this way,then that might be why they end a good relationship. They value what they get from the lgat more than that relationship. Hard to hear, this I'm sure but that would be my take on this.
I think it would be very hard to have a lasting relationship or even friendship with a person who has committed to a lgat. From my pov, I would get tired of the constant pressure to join and I couldn't put up with the jargon. And I'd crave a normal conversation.
btw - I don't think you come across as a sap. Your response is a natural one to what is a horrible/confusing and upsetting experience in losing someone you love in this way. I think your desire to understand is great and hopefully, it will help you through this difficult time.
