Very sad. So selfish. She should have legally pursued Rob when he was back on his feet for his daughter's sake. I've known other Tonys over the years. Their wives don't know what they have until they lose them. Other women are waiting to pick them up and treasure them.
D O N ' T - Four letters and an apostrophe. From "I don't love you." Which was the last devastating straw for Tony.
Sad, in more ways than one. She “settled” for someone whom she did not love, he settled for a beautiful woman in a distressed situation. She held a candle for a cad who only ever used her. He died knowing that he had wasted his life with her. More wasted life. She finally has an epiphany, that she really DID LOVE HIM. Too little, too late, too bad, so damned sad. I gave 4 out of 5
Thanks for commenting CDT60 - a good summary. As a guy most of us are either a Tony or a Rob I feel. But not to such an extreme.
Poigant & brilliant writing.

She yearned for a rhinestone when she had a diamond.

Thank you Mightyheart. There is a backstory to this story which I will share in due course.
