If your husband wanted to play in the Ashes, and you guilted him into staying, then yea, he should divorce you.

So then whats the issue with the discussion?cristal said:

Depends on a) did he have a choice? ie. would he have lost his job if he took the day off? and b) did you want to divorce him?cristal said:
Because if the answer to either question is "no" then obviously not. But Lee has a choice, and what I was saying was that if his wife DOES want him there, then I think she'd be within her rights never to talk to him again. If he wants to play, and she doesn't care, no dramas.

Well, a)He owns a business so he wouldn't have lost his job. He had a very important meeting to seal a deal, I understood how much it would mean for his business.Matt79 said:
b)Of course not, I let him attend the meeting.
Of course she would want him to be there, but they were caught between a rock and a hard place and had to come to a decision together.
Well it seems that way doesn't it?

You said it was no ones business but theirs, and we should not discuss it. I said we should because it affects us too. And then you said your husband had to work while you delivered a child (??).cristal said:

Of course it does! He is a public figure, and his actions and appearences have an effect on people other than just himself.
I do have a problem if he misses an ashes test just to see a kid pop out, I mean...wait five days ffs....he doesn't even have to go out the country.
The kid won't be that different when he's five days old. Cleaner, but otherwise pretty much the same.

Well a woman would have to take all that into consideration before you decide to marry a man who's that committed to his job. I would know.Matt79 said:No. But I'm sure Liz will make time for him when he gets dropped or injured. Just a bit selfish IMO, but different strokes and all that...
Yeah, I have nothing to do today.Do you realise you more than tripled your post count in one evening after 18 months of membership?

One day. Hopefully not on a day I get selected for a test match though.

Yup, I am just saying what my reponse would be if others miss an Ashes series.
