People do things for many reasons, maybe he doesn't want to D her because of insurance or he feels that it he is abandoning her. I know an older lady who she and her husband went through the Divorce process but stopped at legal seperation to keep her on his Insurance. This keeps him from another M if he desires it, but he feels he owes his "wife" of many years that even if they can not live together. I know of another couple who married in their 70's after meeting at a school reunion. They were both widowed and were old school chums. Thit hit it off and married about year later. His children told him it was a betrail of their mother his deceased wife. The lady he married is very nice and has tried so hard to be accepted but the children have told him that they will not be welcome in their homes as long as they are married. This has caused him great hurt. I told them from my POV that his children have no right to say such things and that they are very selfish and have no concern for their fathers happness. So folks need to mind their own DARN business and tend to their own lives, as most folks have things that need improvment in thier R's with family and friends. He (or she) with out sin cast the first stone!
