I don't think PhotoGuy is a troll, just in deep denial. Though maybe he is just one of those guys who was born to be a bachelor. He hasn't mentioned any previous marriages and evidently he didn't enter into this one until he was in his forties. His thinking does remind me somewhat of some of my H's rationalizations so I don't find his posts unauthentic.
