Sorry, don't mean to pry but I'm genuinely wondering.

No apologies necessary. Mom's shut herself away from the world- there are a lot of issues at work there, none of which pertain to this thread- and Dad is out and about. Hell, if Mom wants a lover, I'm all for that! But as I stated in one of the previous posts, we're pretty sure Dad
is with someone outside the marriage. My mom is miserable in that relationship but will not seek any kind of therapy, and that's her choice. I'd love for her to be happy, too, don't get me wrong. She's put herself in a position that she's not willing to change; I can't force her to "be happy, dammit"... much as I would like to. So, yeah, it's something I have no control over. The only thing I can control is my own response-- I'd be happy for them if they got their shit together, divorced, and moved on with their lives. As it is, I'll have to settle for being happy for them if they have a lover outside the bonds of their crappy marriage.
Not. Bitter.
