All Giddy

I've found my soulmate...finally! Scott is so good-looking and charming; I get all giddy just thinking about him. And even though he's married, it turns out that his wife has terminal cancer. Plus, she's bipolar and refuses to take her medicine -- we all know what that means. Can you say "PMS times ten"? Plus, she has a rare condition that doesn't allow her to be intimate with him. My heart just goes out to Scott. He's such a good guy -- it's a crime that he's in such a destructive marriage. I'm so thankful that I'm able to be there for him. We get to see each other at work and at the occasional sports event (his sons play soccer and basketball), but he turns into a different person when he's with his wife. I think he's embarrassed of her. How can I bring him out of his shell?

His wife needs to accept the fact that she's dying and that there's someone else who can make him happy. The best way for her to get the inevitable through her thick skull is for you to be as affectionate as possible in public. You might try inviting them both into your home to start the transition process. Scott is a lucky man to have found you. I know you guys will be happy together for many, many months.
