If I were a man in the same situation as him I’d be thinking ‘God, there IS a way out of this’ and I’d get out.

I remember a similar moment when on a quiet night shift an older woman told me about how she made the decision to divorce her husband because of a miserable, stressful marriage. It planted the seed that I could have a happier life and I now do.

It's true Drew - we have to live an honest life, at least to ourselves. That can be a giant step for somebody who normally hesitate to disappoint friends or family.

Jeez!

'Nobody cares and no one who has a life is interested. Just be yourself and stop being pink diva. Jeez.'

That was quoting your OP. The funny comma like things are a clue.

And this was my ,I think, rather witty answer -

'Except dippy divvy who cares enough to start a thread on a chess site forum. Jeez'

I think what you are trying to say is that YOU don't care.

You can not speak for everyone in the thread or on this site!

He does seem to but I was thinking more about ‘other men’, who may have found his coming out on TV helpful.

Sure, he can be "brave" because he now does as he pleases as he watches his family go to hell in a handbasket.

CNN will probably nominate him man of the year.

I'll go out on a limb here and assert that "brave" is maybe not the proper term to use here.

I see. Another person who has reading difficulties.
Lets split the post into simple parts.

1. 'Nobody cares and no one who has a life is interested. Just be yourself and stop being pink diva. Jeez.'

That is a direct quote from the OP from divvegeester

2. 'Except dippy divvy who cares enough to start a thread on a chess site forum. Jeez'

That is a direct quote from my reply to divvy.

From the above it is quite clear that you are talking to the wrong person as I have never said that I don't care and was not speaking for everyone in this thread as accused.
