NC, What I mean by that remark is he has often said that only "she" knows how to run the business. She knows everthing about the business and how it works.
One of his friends also owns a business. When my H first walked out on me he told this friend there was no one else. Well, eventually the truth came out. The friend's wife told me that when her H found out about OW/Secretary he told my H, "First of all you should have never got involved with another woman while you were married and especially not the secretary, you are really screwed." This was in reference to the business.
My way of thinking is that H thinks that the business couldn't function without his wonderful "secretary". We of course know she did not invent the job of a a secretary. EVERYONE is replaceable. That's why I think he values her and the business over our marriage/family.
