Good post, cobra. I agree with everything except this
Quote: Her silly idea to get divorced is one of these.
Of course, you didn't intend for Rig to actually SAY this to his W, but even thinking it is dismissive and disrespectful. Her concerns are not silly, nor is the idea to bail from an unsatisfying marriage.
This reminds me of the stock scene in a movie where a guy with a gun confronts another guy. The confrontee is terrified but his response is to belittle the confronter: "Oh, so now you're going to shoot me with that silly little gun?" The other guy replies, "Silly? How silly is THIS?!" and shoots him.
The fact is her anger got this ball rolling-- Rigley likely wouldn't have done it on his own. She is to be congratulated for getting fed up!
