We had been together 17 years -- 5 years dating and 12 years married. Sorry to hear you had the same experience.

But back to the OP. That's why I gave the potential out that Martha just might be a shit anyway. Either way, I think it's better to get information before lowering the hammer. The writer obviously wants to salvage some kind of relationship, even though WE might wonder why.
