Put a value on the lady bearing my children, who I love very much, return my love, and are a source of ongoing joy for me. That's priceless.
Just sitting down and holding your hand, maybe offering support, and talking with you? Priceless.

Not while you ladies are around. As long as you're professional and discreet, you ladies provide a tremendous service. You see, I get to maintain that relationship I've built up over the years. I get to keep friends and family and home. And even though it makes me sad we no longer have a sex life, I can still get THAT need met as well.
Value: priceless.
