Was it only me who didn't know there is first wife.
I don't have a problem with that as such but it seems a little disingenuous to me how he has never mentioned it.
By showing (what looks like) a high school photo of him with Robin and constantly saying how they have been married for 30 years etc., he goes out his way to create an image of only one marriage.
He also talks about lying by omission, yet he omits this fact. Bearing in mind what he does for a living I think some honesty about his own divorce is appropriate.
