Me too. It doesn't bother me, or them, nor does it make one iota of 
difference to their lives in any way that I can conceive that myself and 
their mother never jumped the broomstick.

I was married once, that was enough (you and I know what Oscar had to say 
about marrying for a second time, don't we?), and SWMBO never fancied it. 
I did ask her once or twice in the early days (in a half-hearted, joking 
manner) but she just gave me an old-fashioned look, as if I was nucking 
futs.

We know quite a number of couples of our generation who married at about 
the same time as we got together. I don't think any of them are still 
together. One or two didn't even last a fucking year.

All those poor kids, the detritus of broken homes.

We've had our ups and downs, mate. Even split up for six months once 
(that was tough on me, not being able to see the kids every day). Missed 
my oldest lad's first steps ('he learned to walk while I was away').

We're still here, we're still together for the kids and for each other.

What else matters, eh?

Maybe he thinks Victoria is still on the throne. Maybe someone should 
tell him it's Lizzie Mark II.

Indeed. Spare the rod, spoil the child would probably be his child-
rearing motto.
