I loved them too and while you might lay a greater claim to them, I defy you to miss your wife any more than I’ll miss my best friend or your child, who was every inch a son to me.

About This Quote

The statement in this quote is not meant to be cruel but rather sad. The speaker is saying that he will not miss his wife because he has already lost her. She is no longer with him but instead she is living with someone else. He could have claimed her but instead he chose to spend time with her best friend and her son, which shows how important she was in his life.
