I've met the hubby yes! Ha ha - but no not ANdrew. Getting ahead of ourselves here though Abs. Not your type I think. Definately below par for a French lassie like yourself. |

| 'tis true really - especialy when you don't see it coming. SOmetimes you meet people and you can't understand why they are together and others you think are made for each other. This couple were definately much nearer the made for each other side - we only saw them a little while ago and I had no idea at all that something was wrong. |

| Do you think there is any hope for reconciliation or does separation for sure mean divorce? |

it is a trial separation at the moment - so there could be hope - she is coming to stay this week and he is moving out whilst she is away and then she will tell the kids when she gets back - i really hope they manage to work it out - I like them both very much - i don't know all the details though so who knows. Every song on my ipod today is playing breakup music and it's on shuffle! |

| my bro in law and his wife have separated after more than 20 years, they have a 12 years old daughter and so far it all seems very amicable but somehow it really bugs me, especially since he got himself another bird already. I find it difficult to be welcoming to her *sigh* |

Men seem to be like that don't they - my mum died after 37 years of marriage and my dad was supposedly devestated he moved in the next one less than three months later (had been 'with' her from just after the funeral). Men seem to need to be with someone and don't grieve in the same way, or move on a lot quicker, i think it is also easier for men to pick up another women - older men are still considered a catch whereas older women especially as they tend to have the kids in tow just don't get the same good press. |
