Well, my dad and my mom's dad stayed pretty close, even after the divorce. So, I guess it can happen. Though I don't know that I'd say they were buddies, they were not strangers. But, I think you are right, especially at this point, it is significant. And your H apologizing seems to me to be significant. That never struck me as a German strong point.
