You know, DW, I've been thinking the "side dish" theory all along but didn't want to jump the gun with speculation without reason. But...being a woman spurned at one time, his initial desire for her to leave Canada with the children as soon as possible sounds like someone who's anxious to be free for someone else...in my experience. We still have to consider his relationship NC told her friends she found out about with an MBA classmate while in Europe. (if you check out the pictures of that trip on his website, you can try see for yourself all the possibilites. Yes, yes...I've already done that...and made a guess.)This was supposedly after the the HM affair. Just a thought...Not trying to start something. It's hard to ignore behavior you've experienced first hand.
