As far as I can see, it could only affect yours and Barbara's marriage, Don if either one of you chose to let it do so. (and I gather there's no danger of that...) ;-) What I mean is, if one of you was all upset about it and went on and on about it day after day, well, then, that might become an annoyance to the other, and then that might affect your marriage. Possibly. In which case it would be your reaction to David and Steven's marriage that was affecting your marriage! ;-D Since that's not the case, however, my guess is that I have just wasted a whole bunch of keystrokes on a fool's errand here. Ah, well, such is life in the provinces...

Now you have the answer you were seeking. Or maybe not. Well...you have an answer anyway. That's a bit better than no answer at all. Refer back to this post whenever you get the nagging feeling that no one cares enough to respond. (grin)

Are we having fun yet?
