Yes, she did. A good man who loves her and her first child completely. Married two years now, beautiful house, adorable new baby.
The Ex is still skulking around, trying to worm his way back into her life (she tolerates him for the sake of their daughter, but even my neice is figuring him out). After the divorce, her career really took off. She's living well, while he's renting someone's back porch.
You are absolutely correct about the complexities of human relationships. You may also be spot on about Bill's motives.
Great news, thanks for sharing!
Kids are oh, so, smart. They KNOW. Good on your niece!
