Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 7 MAY 2013

#1

What is wrong with some of you people?

1) For those that ask, "What happened to those vows "in sickness and in
health?", this seems like a mutual decision. The article stated "even
showering immediately after I came home wasn't good enough." This is a persons,
Shirley, whom I know personally, health and life we are talking about here.
As a conclusion after reading the Dancer article, this seems like the
logical best move for both parties involved.

2) For those of you that want to counter with "I don't know why Dancer
chose to share this slice of his private life, but I wish he hadn't",
wonderful, but what is written is written and your wish has, is and will not be
granted. It is likely not easy to write a weekly column. Especially not when
one is going through such stress and anguish in a life and death situation.
Dancer can write what he wants to. That is a right that Bob has earned based
on the works that he has accomplished in his career. I doubt any of you
will not dare to read his columns in the future for fear that you wished that
you had never "opened the envelpoe".

I have been ill for over a year and my husband is still my best
friend and has taken care of me.

I am absolutely baffled by your selfishness. I cannot believe
that you had your girlfriend help her pack.

Sorry but that is my two cents.

It gets absorbed into your skin and it takes days for it to sweat back out. Also bad for the eyes, as in lens replacement surgery. Of course plenty of people don't let COPD stop them from gambling, they just lug their oxygen tanks into the casino.

I got the impression that his (now) ex and he decided, together,they didn't have enough in common to continue.
I also believe he shared the column with her before publishing and she gave her ok.
As a 'public' figure, Bob felt he needed to offer an explanation,and the nuances between here and there must be many.
I wish it hadn't happened, as there was a certain amountof vicarious enjoyment this perpetually single man got outof the idea of a successful couple. (If it can happen to aprofessional VP gambler in Vegas, it can happen to me.)

But in the meantime, Bob did the best he could with a badsituation, was as 'frank' as he could be in the situation andthat's probably as much as 'we' can ask.
I personally had the 'until death do us part' reaction afterreading it, but upon reflection, let us all realize there isfar more to any 'news' than meets the eye.
Bob and Bonnie, good luck to both of you.
Now let's get back to discussing VP and related?

I will be going through the same thing as Bob in two years. My wife is unwilling to move to Vegas. I have begged her to no avail. She would be a perfect partner since she is Sr. Accountant( Controller).
My backroll would be twice as big with her.
Best wishes to Bob. I've met both bob ans shirley at one of his seminars and both people were very cordial. The only thing constant in life and gambling is CHANGE.
