@cherrie,
I was surprised when I read that, too (lol). But I guess he comes to vent, which a lot of us do. He's still with her after all these (annoying) years and he did say he loved her (?), but it was really nice to read him say something complimentary about her.
Re the pizza - I would have just cut a bit off a slice, not taken all the toppings off - I can't imagine anyone doing that or why they would.
