Lot of similarities between my H and your W as well, Nick.
My H's excuse is "life is too short..." (that also makes me laugh btw)

Not 6.5 years, but now at 14 years and counting, next time R talk comes up I am sure the years will hit 16 or 17. Classic talk

It is really good that you realized that W has to have last little word whenever leaving MC. I have a feeling she is saying (as she does keep on saying), don't get any ideas, I am still at the same place I was before.

Keep doing well, being happy. Enjoy your babies. Also, if she brings up that she still feels exactly the same, say I understand and so do I smile
