Personal Life
After she claimed her 53-year-old husband Paul Dorries had given her an ultimatum, she separated from him at Christmas 2006 saying that she and her husband, who has multiple sclerosis, were at 'entirely different stages in our life'. They have three daughters. They are now divorced.
In January 2011, Dorries stated that, since December 2010, she had been in a relationship with John Butler, a married man who had been a family friend for 13 years previously and who, she claimed, had separated from his wife shortly before. According to the Mail on Sunday, Butler and Dorries split up in Summer 2011.
Dorries maintains a high profile in the media, where she has been derided as 'Mad Nad', while a defender, journalist Quentin Letts, has accused other MPs of feeling "envy" for her flamboyance and publicity skills.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The terrible thing is that one cannot be a Communist and not let oneself in for the shameful act of recantation. One cannot be a Communist and preserve an iota of one’s personal integrity.”
—Milovan Djilas (b. 1911)
“After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, “Oh! Life is so hard!” and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
