A divorce is the next logical step.

(Ohmigod, will she still be able to demand to be called The Countess?)

And its no surprise, really.

The unrest in their marriage makes sense, seeing as how the Count wasneverwith the Countess on the show.

Sadly, theCountess received the news from the Count via email.

(Id love to hear what the Etiquette Queen would have to say about that break-up method!

Not very nice!)

Could we have seen this coming from what has been on screen inThe Real Housewives?

Then, the Countess went off on the Count after he missed their daughters equestrian event.

Of course, the big question now is, will the Countess be back for a third season?

As a precedent,The Real Housewives of Orange Countys Jeana was allowed to stay after her divorce.

And really, this could only be good for future storylines.

Mostly, she told Bethenny to Let him be the man (screw feminism!)

and instructed her to lean in a lot during dinner dates and talk seductively.

More of her stilted dating?
