I also wish married people would find a way to make it work -- at least until the kids are grown and out of the house -- but I suppose that some situations are so toxic that it's better for all involved if they just part company.
I mean, the way she treated him when he was undergoing treatment for his cancer (radiation therapy, I think) was beyond cruel and despicable. She not only kicked him out of their bedroom and wouldn't even let him stay in a room near a bathroom, but she arranged it so that he was staying in a room right below the master bedroom, and she'd use her exercise machines every day at 5 a.m.
Considering that they lived in that mansion because of *HIS* job and he could have kicked her ass out of there at any time, I think she had a big pair of brass ones to do that to him.
She also had a lot of nerve showing up at the hospital where his mother was taken and making a big scene by refusing to leave until the media had been there and left. Btw, this happened *after* they split.
I'm always happy to hear about people like you, who've found wonderful mates, and I hope that I am so lucky one day. :) And after all that Rudy has been through and done for this city, I wish him, his wife and his children nothing but happiness. As for the former Mrs. Giuliani, she's not exactly crying herself to sleep, alone, at night -- she's now engaged to marry her high school sweetheart. In fact, when they went to shop for an engagement ring, she actually had that "event" placed in the AP Daybook. Really! :)
