Bea,

As usual, thanks for your wonderful way with words and your intelligent insight. My (our) D's have both come through our split with invisible scars that they try to hide. They both have a very narrow and unfavorable view of marriage, one with men as a whole. The 'suit of clothes' was spot on. As to the expiration date, I unwisely thought I had passed that with my X once we were married longer than his first, twice as long, in fact. Just goes to show . . .
