In the previous post Charles II found AITA:
Look, I, m, believe in live and let live. (And in not going on my travels again. Had enough of that to last a life time.) Why can't everyone else around me be more chill? Instead, my wife refuses to employ my girlfriend, my girlfriend won't budge and accept another office, my brother is set on a course to piss off everyone (he WILL go on his travels again), and my oldest kid shows signs of wanting my job which is just not on, sorry to say. And don't get me started about Mom (thank God she's living abroad). What am I doing wrong? AITA?

"You're mad," said Athenais. "Yes, I am mad," replied Louis ardently, "since I still love you." After this avowal, both King and Athenais "made together profound reverence to these venerable matrons". Then they withdrew to her bedroom.
Hee! Go Madame de Montespan :D
