Not so strange that a guy would do something like that, but it's amazing that he remained married through it all.

The guy's face reminds me of the uncle in the show The Munsters.

Dude, be careful and think about what you're really saying! - your out, and I'll back you (except for my wife of course), has to be that it's actually your wife who is the most patient and loving woman in the world. (Otherwise it is an ugly story.)
