A lovely woman in the midst of a divorce, lets call her "Felicity." She raised two children and managed a household over the twenty years of her marriage. He was a very strong man. He worked hard and developed a business both in Australia and overseas. The family did very well financially.
She is one of the warmest women I have ever met. More friends than anyone else I know, very involved in the community, giving and enthusiastic. A bit scatty at times, definitely a party girl. She just loves to entertain.
He on the other hand (second hand info', I know) is serious, controlling and ambitious - in other words strong. He sound impressive. He now has a girlfriend the same age as his daughter. I think that speaks volumes about the kind of relationship he values.
So, there are many observations to make about this family. One that arose today, however, concerns the family court and financial settlement. Felicity's husband is arguing (along with his solicitors) that he should receive fare more of the family funds because he earned the money. He has argued with her that she "just kept a neat house." How many (ex)husbands out there hold the same belief? Quite a few I fear.
