After that he was drowning in his depressive thoughts, thinking about suicide everyday. He couldn't stay in his own house due to it reminding him of his wife's infidelity, so he just roamed the streets of New York.

He was in one of the homeless shelters when he met Mark for the first time. Mark had always been a good listener and an empathic person. So on a whim, (Author's divine intervention) David told him his story and Mark decided to help him get over this dark phase of his life.
