Reply #111: It might no have been an illusion - 40 years is a huge amount of time

I am stunned because, like everyone, I did not see this coming. I think we never know what anyone else's marriage is like, including many people we really know well - rather than politicians who we, at best, have some small view of. It is far saner for them to keep as much of their private life private - though that comes at a cost when the media far prefers people who SEEM to allow the public to see the most.

They both seem to be good people and I wish them both the best in finding happiness.
