  • Divorce, British Royal Style

    Hey!  Remember Fergie and Prince Andrew?  No, not that FergieThis one.  The one who used to shill for Weight Watcher's.  Remember her?  Actually, I have nothing but respect for this woman. Why?  Because according to this she's still living "as a couple" with her divorced-since-1996 ex-husband, Prince Andrew.

    Speaking as someone who cannot stand to be even in the same room with the object of my appropriately-bitter on-going and acrimonious divorce, I have the highest regard for someone who can apparently maintain a civil relationship with an ex-spouse for over ten years and in the same freaking house!  That's what "staying together for the sake of the children" really means, I guess.  I would say it takes some very special people to do this successfully.

    A couple of questions, though:

    1.  The article mentions that it's a bit awkward for their respective dates.  I'll bet.  "Oh by the way, I'm divorced but we're still living together?  Do you have a problem with that?"

    2.  How big, exactly, is the house they share?  Being Royals, are we talking a castle with multiple wings?  Because that might be do-able.  In the right circumstance.

    3.  And what I know you're all asking yourselves as well:  what about the sex? 

    Fergie, you go, girl!  Sounds like you're making it work.  Better you than me, though.
