Congratulations for keeping your head. At first I thought of how when my wife ran away with my best friend he stole my guitar. Too bad I didn’t own a pick-up truck though or he would have stolen that too & I could have been a county music star.
But then your story blows mine right out of the water.
Anyway, it’s been 40 years now now and it is clear that she did me a huge favor. We are something like friends, she even gets on with my 2nd wife of now 30 wonderful years ❤️, and my former BFF, whom she ran away from after 1 year with my help* then divorced, has disappeared from the face of the earth.
*on the remote chance that you actually read that account, it’s heavily fictionalized.
