Thank you, happy101, thank you very, very much! I can feel your sincerity and care right through your words. What your friend seems to have experienced in his marriage is terrible. His wife seems awful and malevolent. I do know plenty of women who could potentially fill that kind of scenario. But I do have to tell you that my poor wife is entirely incapable of such things, other than feebly attempting to hit me now and then. We've been married for oh so long, and we're old, and we don't have much family, and when you put it all together you get a totally different picture than your picture of your friend and his wife. So, no, we really won't separate. Most of the time is fine. Sometimes she has a little too much alcohol and gets angry. Not very often. Just now and then. It was after one of those episodes that I posted here on PC, feeling pretty disgusted with it all. But no, considering who we are, considering our history, considering our age, and considering my wife's "transgressions," we'll stay together to the end. Take care!
