IB I agree with kml. Two years is nothing in MLC terms.
But how could the mere passage of time validate the appalling behaviour of these people? To lie, cheat steal and disown your family is not normal. No-one is saying that someone has to stay in a relationship with someone they do not love, but it is the manner of their leaving and their subsequent behaviour that is so screwy.
If you or I had genuinely met and wanted to be with someone we found we really loved [which begs the question of why we were out there looking!] But if we had, we would have done everything to try and ease the pain of all those around us.
and how could you act as if your kids really didn't matter at all? It is actions that we need to watch, and worry less about the words. He may or may not regret it, but anyone normal would be feeling deep sadness and remorse for the hurt they caused - and they would say so. It still would not validate the actions though.
They are buying their happiness at a great cost, bigger than they have any inkling of.
