"How do guys like this always manage to find another woman?" I think the more germane question is, "Why is there always another woman willing to hook up with a guy like this?"

I’m wondering if the current wife agreed to obtain life insurance!

I have been watching this go on for over 4 years. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
