Crap. Getting bounced, then fired must have been a groin kick after that.

It does, but $70 million buys a lot of balls. I wish the best for his wife ...didn't know he was remarried.

Yeah he got remarried like a year or two after his first wife passed. Apparently the woman he married was a good friend of his and his wife and while grieving together it led to a relationship. Seemed quick until I read the details about having known her for a long time as a friend.

 

[Raindog]

Of course, we all hope the best for his wife.

Man, he's had some bad luck.

Even though his first is gone, getting together with a friend of both, just seems like cheating. I know it’s not though.

I get what you're saying. I read up on it back when we hired Monty and felt similarly when I learned of it but the more I read and got to understand Monty's character, I don't see that. I think the only reason he remarried is because it was someone familiar to his family. Not that his previous wife gave her blessing but having her as a longtime friend sort of showed she respected the woman. At first glance though it can definitely seem a little sketchy though.

I worked with seniors. This is not as uncommon as you would think. Sometimes it can be a sister of the deceased wife even.

Also, who wants older people to live alone.

That’s how it’s been since from way back in the day. I guess it’s just the most natural thing to do.

Yeah and not just with seniors. The numbers were in Monty's favor to wed again. Shared grief often brings people together. Widowed father's with small children will often re-marry soon. Widows and widowers that had good marriages are very likely to re-marry. And it seems to me that a man trying to raise a family alone is quite likely to bond with someone already within his close circle.

His wife died in February and he got married in October. That happens a lot to people who loose their spouse suddenly. Somebody close shows compassion and it eases the pain faster.

Who are we to judge?

Also, who wants older people to live alone.

Back in the day...like way way back in the day, brothers of deceased husbands were expected to replace them and marry the widow.

 

[Covert Rain]

Everybody’s grieving process is different. Some people are afraid to be alone. So, much plays into that so I won’t judge.

So true. It is even Biblical.

So true. It is even Biblical.

Thou shall not covet your brother's wife, unless he's dead.

In Catholicism it was viewed the opposite.

Henry VIII had to bribe the Pope for permission to marry his brother's widow, and when she failed to produce an heir he blamed it on having married his brother's wife and the Pope granted an annulment. Lucky her... the rest of Henry the VIII's marriages ended a bit more "messy".

There were some cultures where you were obligated to marry your brother's wife, especially if he was elder to you. I think Vikings, and maybe Amish. I know I have seen it a couple different scenarios in movies.

It’s a job of extraordinary magnitude. We owe Monty our… gratitude.
