    Not that tough.

    Cary's nailed this one. Seven-year-itch it may be, which means it may also be an opportunity for divorce.

    Who would willingly--even enthusiastically--abandon a spouse for two years without ensuring that the spouse was in agreement? Only an unhappy partner.

    LW, your gut reaction is right. There's more going on than a burning desire to purify water in central Africa.
