:) So it would have been less unacceptable if she were an 8?

Where is the love?? Hello, here is the guy who right after the car wreak gave his wife the shaft... Where is the love in that? Goes both ways, but I don't think it was the right time to tell you "wife" I want to trade you in for another woman. But there must be more to this story then just sueing him for money. Something along the lines of being hurt or something he or she did.....I'll give both the benefit of the doubt before bring in my judgement.

Has anyone seen a picture of this woman? Freeman should be ashamed of himself leaving his wife for a woman I would rate a three
