Mrs SLVA and I
Will have been together for 21 years in Janurary and married for 15. We still act as if we've only just met, we miss each other when we're apart and all sorts of soppy stuff that couples our age shouldn't get up to. We still hold hands when out and about and other public displays of affection. I wonder if people see my wedding ring and assume my wife is actually my bit on the side, we're that touchy-feely (fnarr). So consequently, I'm not really in a position to comment on this QOTW.

However, (and this is a pea roast), my mate Steve went out with Velma from Scooby Doo. We could all see that she was trouble, and clearly looked upon Steve as a stop-gap until a better catch came along. Ironically because Steve is the nicest guy I've ever met and deserved someone far better than her (and I'm not just saying that because he's a mate). But he wouldn't have listened, no matter how big our hints were.

Anyway, they got wed and after a marriage so short that they still had cake left, he found out she was having an affair with someone from work, so he packed his bags and left before she even got home, leaving a note for her to find.
We pointed out that we almost told him so and he agreed that he wouldn't have listened anyway.

Now, she was clearly a bitch for doing this to my mate. To give you an idea of how self-serving she was, the new bloke had a fair sized nest-egg. He was, as sad as it sounds, still living with his mum. The upshot of this is that he had little overheads and apart from going halves on the household bills, he had quite a shedload of cash accumulating in the bank.

Then he met my mate's wife, and then moved in with her, who then promptly mined away at all his savings and now he has hardly any spare cash at all every month. He was due to retire about 3 months ago on his savings, but can't now and as such has to work another 16 years until mandatory retirement age, after which he'll most likely need to get a job at B&Q or somewhere similar.

Not really his fault...
If he did not know that she was attached. He is still an idiot for letting her manipulate him.
