I've never heard a bi-polar described as a fault of someone or as a criticism of any kind - it's merely an observation (based on MS relationship with CWW) that may help explain his behavior. We don't know that MS wasn't trying to make excuses for CWW and hope that KL would reconsider the marriage and try to help CWW get professional help. I don't consider commiserating with someone and discussing the obvious emotional problems of a spouse as pointing out someone's faults nor is it gossip. Would it have been compassionate to ignore the elephant in the room? As for his conversation with KL in which he gives his non-professional opinion on CWW's possible emotional or mental problem, that's exactly what we are doing here, except that MS is in the better position to know him than we are, lol! :silly:
MS was not CWW's best man. I thought and posted the same thing but it's incorrect; either the MIL misspoke or the author misunderstood or wrote it incorrectly. My husband has gone to many, many functions without me and I without him. I have zero problem with him doing things with his friends when I either can't go, don't want to go, or want to spend time with specific people. We are both independent people confident in our marriage to not be tethered at the hip and who are still in love enough to be teased as being "Schmoopie" (thank you Seinfeld) even after 15 years together. In no way is being independent and doing things apart to be interpreted as having an open marriage. So many men wear a wedding ring for only a short time after the ceremony and then nevermore. Maybe MS hadn't worn it for years, but is wearing it now for himself and his girls, but not to make a public show. He can't be doing it for public consumption because people are continually griping about his NOT making public appearances, appeals for information, professing love and admiration for everyone who helped, groveling, weeping, wailing, whining, and writhing prostate on the ground, gnashing his teeth. I was about to include pulling his hair out, but y'know...
and omg - YES! Corey Fox sportin' the same look. That would make for an interesting lineup!
I could be wrong, but I thought KL did get a job out of it? I have to go find that article again for my own knowledge. :lookingitup:
hee hee I love these WS emoticons!
