In that, we’re agreed. A wise man would be doing everything humanly possible to fly below the radar and start over.
Not sure what to make of his wife...Granted not everyone is wired the same, but her trumpeting his character flaws as justification for divorce on national media isn’t terribly classy.
Frankly, throughout this thing, I never had a really great feeling about the wifey. She appeared disengaged from the situation from the beginning.
Some women can be very vindictive when their marriage breaks up and there is no greater way to inflict pain on the ex than to knife him in the back with the media eagerly waiting for any dirt they can find on him.
