Wow Bea, you write so eloquently and lucidly. Thanks for your good advice to our dear friend.
Bea, my H told me once, in the same exact conversation in which he told me he is considering divorcing me so he can marry his Russian Tramp, that he has a lot of friends who are divorced, and they always regret splitting up with their wives, and that not one of them was really happy in his second marriage. Portia, I'm sure the same goes for people who have been together for as many years as you and your SO have been, with or without that piece of paper. This conversation shows how messed up my H's mind is, but that's neither here nor there
I'm sorry that your own personal MLC idiot cannot even get it together enough for you two to be friends Bea. You are his prize, and Portia is the prize to her SO too. He just is too confused to realize it now!
