n00bs,
I tend to agree with you mate. In fact my wife and I have said that. But when you meet her and talk to her and see just how much mental anguish it is causing you get a feel for just how much she is suffering. We're not in their shoes so we don't judge. But she'll struggle to meet someone as good as him again. He's an amazing Dad and also a very good provider for the family and she is very high maintenance so that's a good match.
He's the Financial Controller for an ASX100 company on about $400,000 per annum. He works crazy hours which is part of the problem but he's been cutting back to spend time with the family. In fact, he just turned down a head hunt into a more senior FC role on more dollars so that he could focus on the family.
She's awesome too, major extravert, full of life, always smiling and effervesant. She's a very girly girl and loves her shoes, handbags, nice clothes etc. They throw huge parties and dote on their kids. Both of them are really close friends of ours.
Really is a shame. My wife and I agreed that this would never happen to us, but again we don't want to judge.
Cheers,
Mike
