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 related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
