BL… Pretty sure I wrote about this in a previous post but you may not have seen it. A couple years ago, right before the pandemic started, I ran into my old basketball coach at a basketball game. He told me he was killing time until his wife could pick him up as she was at the local casino. I asked him if he had gotten remarried because I had heard that he and his wife had divorced a number of years ago. Imagine my surprise when he tells me that, no, he hadn’t remarried. He and his wife had divorced and been apart for five years. They had recently gotten back together and were very happy. I don’t know the details of why they divorced in the first place. I doubt that infidelity had been involved. I suspect that he wasn’t an easy person to live with and she had finally had enough…lol. I think he has mellowed out in his old age and is no longer consumed with basketball for six months out of the year (he’s retired now) so he probably has more time for her. He also probably hated being on his own and missed having her around. Just my suspicion from what I noticed about their relationship when I was a kid. Even though I was only 17, I remember myself wondering how she put up with all of his “stuff” and his difficult personality. She was very mild mannered and quiet and he was always loud and social… and a bit controlling. I think it is likely there is less of a power imbalance in their relationship now that he knows what he could lose again.
