TO is like a wife. If you treat a wife bad, don't pay enough attention to her, and don't take care of your own business, she'll leave you saying nasty things on the way out. You treat her well, pay enough attention to her, and take care of your own business, she'll stick by your side 'til the end of time. And probably get a little emotional along the way. Whole lotta bitter exes in here who can't handle another guy treating their ex right and reaping the benefits.
Interesting analogy, but keep in mind that, in your scenario, Owens would be one of those crazy wives who you always have to be careful to say and do the right thing around, because if you don't, even just once, they will spaz out and go all psycho ##### on you.

And like a woman, if you do or say one wrong thing, Owens will never forget it and will have no problem bringing it up months or even years later in an argument that has nothing to do with it.
