I agree, Tobyn77. Prudie's comment about the "reason" was extremely offensive. As I said elsewhere, we have no real way of knowing just how miserable that marriage supposedly was. He may have simply found someone "better" and "more beautiful" in his selfish mind and therefore decided he was living with a shrew. Perhaps she didn't smile sweetly as she placed his dinner in front of him every night enough. In contrast to Prudie's response, it could also be said that "there's a REASON adult children of a divorced man may hate his current wife!" How about that, Prudie?
