Greek, no need to say you are sorry. I also understand what you were trying to point out, but the truth is, since I have been called a WAW by dear friends of mine here (btw, 2 years later I am still standing, ), that such a comment to me back then, it felt very unfair. That's why I said I feel strong about it. Maybe for SP it is helpful. Food for thought is always useful. K
And sorry, I missed your question, he is not stepping out on his wife IMO, he was left by hs wife and he MAY chose to step out of an empty shell that once was a marriage... It is sad.
