    She's presumably getting the house and all his income when he passes away; a worthwhile endurance from her perspective.

    I firmly believe that if he wasn't a man of means, she would have left him for another man a very, very long time ago.

    I wouldn't be surprised if she encourages him to drink/take drugs/not look after himself, to advance the rate of his physiological decline.

    She probably sees him as a barrier to her future.

    You're basing this on what, exactly ?

    After 1970 he might still have had massive bone density loss affecting the integrity of his jawbones and creating doubt over the viability of dental implants. It probably wasnt only a matter of fitting a set of dentures.
    Some transplant and chemo patients also lose teeth, there can be many causes, although the substance abuse is the common knowledge explanation for Shane McGowan's problem.

    My friend worked as one of Shane's roadies and iirc he found him completely bonkers but very nice. Subhuman is a bit harsh.

    Subhuman is an expression most people would reserve for rapists and paedophiles tbh. Not a well respected singer/songwriter who has harmed no one other than himself.

    Hard to believe it on a thread about dental issues tbh. I get that a life of dissipation disgusts people too but he's a punk rocker...what do people expect?

    Surely with her clairvoyant talents it would have been easier for her to predict the lotto numbers?? He was potless when they got together.

    Oh dear god, you have no idea who his wife is? She met him at 16. She is an amazing empathetic and caring person. Very few real women would put up with his behaviour and addiction issues. She has given the best part of her life looking after him. In psychology terminology she is a "Super Neuro Typical" the kind you usually find the same levels of empathy in Social workers, certain nurses, certain doctors, human rights lawyers and the like.
