i wouldn't put too much thought into that feel-good story.
lots of stories like that here already where the lbs tries to accomodate and play 'mr nice guy' to the was. only to get played by the was .. and cake eating.
let's be realistic. i got the same story too. that i was his bf .. yada yada. and then what? when money and division of property come into play, the gloves come off and so does the bff jersey. bff goes out the door and is replaced by manipulator man.
