But not, I hope, before he was able to cash in on the stock options and other golden parachute codicils contained in the pre-nup.

And as to Mrs. T: she needs to take a broader, more far-reaching stance on this possibility. Think global woman!

Sadly, no, Mr. C had nothing to speak of in terms of such considerations. It too was a small family company and he thought his value outweighed the family part. He was mistaken, and ended up establishing his job-search at the very firm I had vacated to take my present role. Not sure how that story ended.

Strangely enough, I haven't pressed the issue with Mrs. T over the past eight years. We have joked about me having an "office wife" (who has sadly retired).
