In the series you could clearly see that mycroft wears a wedding band. But where is his wife (and kids)? In "his last vow", he is at the parents' house for Christmas, and still no wife. Why is he wearing a wedding band if he is single?
I can just imagine... Sherlock: I thought perhaps you might have found yourself a - goldfish. Mycroft: Sherlock. You know what happened to the other one...
That's the perfect quote. Seems that Mycroft is a widower (he can't be a divorcee since divorcees usually don't keep the rings). Quite sad. Perfect it made him even colder?
I am closing this thread as the subject has been discussed elsewhere. You are free to continue in the above threads. Thank you.
