Very few of my columns are this personal. But this one must be. Any of y'all who are friends of Kemberly can post answers to her on FR, to "Felicity Fahrquar."

John / Billybob

[TXBSAFH]

Sorry to hear it Billybob.

[JennysCool]

Good luck to you both.

Certainly hope the financing of the place is on the up-and-up.

[Jeff Chandler]

Well, women come and women go, but a good chef...

[ActionNewsBill]

Isn't there any way you could move along with her? It seems like your career as a writer could be continued from anywhere.

Anyways, best of luck to you both.

[Tijeras_Slim]

You're a better man than me, Billybob.

[HitmanLV]

Would you, should you, leave your husband/wife if the chance of a lifetime – the chance of several lifetimes – came along?

No.

[SmithL]

I wish you both well.

[johnny7]

Does she need a good line-chef?

[TheDon]

Would you, should you, leave your husband/wife if the chance of a lifetime – the chance of several lifetimes – came along?

It all depends on what is most valued by the individual. For me, my wife and children are the chance of several lifetimes!

[tessalu]

It must not have been love anyhow. Come easy, go easy.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Sorry to hear this, but no I would not go anywhere my wife would not go. She has followed me to Europe and Africa, but I turned down an ASA job in Turkey because dependents couldn't go We were only engaged at the time and the assignment would guarantee I would not go to Vietnam.

[r9etb]

Just a question, though: why aren't you in Samoa?

[Salamander]

My husband is the chance of a lifetime – the chance of several lifetimes.

The answer is a resounding no.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Good luck to both of you.

[Full Court]

That's so sad.

My condolences.

Pago Pago Billybob?

[Yossarian]

John, while I like your posts and writings, I think you may regret later having this posted online.

I can understand writing something to work though difficult issues. But divorces are hard enough, and putting it out there in public while it's happening - even in such a civilized, rational post as yours - can't make it any easier.

I hope you can find a way to keep your marriage together. It is too important a thing to let a job or distance destroy it - even an incredible distance. Good luck.

[Enterprise]

That's a terrific point of view!

[digger48]

Aw, she'll get to missing your rapier wit, subtle charm and Adonis-like features and come running back.....




And if she doesn't, I'm sure there's plenty out there willing to call themselves Mrs Billybob
