Well if he doesn't mind cats, then you've got a reason to get one, especially if your dad doesn't like dogs. NQ, he may seem wrapped up in OW at the mo, but that will soon fizzle out. You can't just forget 16 years of marriage, however much they try to. The way I see it is that this OW is someone on the rebound. I couldn't even imagine having a relationship with a bloke at the mo. If I found one that I could just cuddle on the sofa for company then that would be ideal, but men always want more and I can't begin to imagine going to bed with another man at the mo!
