I'm married to him now! It was weird because they had been separated for years but still married for health insurance benefits. I met her first, learned about the situation, met him at a social event she brought me to, and then fell for him. Drama definitely ensued. She was way more possessive of him than she'd told me. He didn't want to take away her health insurance just because she got catty. He remained married until the year he was ready to propose to me. Looking back, I can see it as a man trying his best to be kind to someone who used to be important to him. But he's really apologetic about it because he let a past-important person complicate the life of the person he was currently committed to.
Our relationship would not have survived its early stages without open communication, a lot of reassurance, and external confirmation of his good intentions, but that original stress was very much worth my life with him today.
