It turned out later that the secretary-turned-wife-number-2 was crazy, though I think they are still married. The guy is still a partner at that firm today. Seems to be well-liked (and there is speculation that he and an also-well-liked associate there have been hooking up for some time on the dl).
I guess I'm saying shit happens. If your firm denies you partnership over it, either (a) you weren't that well-liked to begin with or (b) your firm is composed of a bunch of tight-asses*. I guess (c) all of the above is also possible.
*but alas not gwinky tight abs-es. (did you see my note to you at the top of this post, snookums?)
