 Adding to the fluff -- even if it is twang related fluff -- Earle's still
 married to wife #6. Y'all wouldn't want Earle to participate in bigamy, now
 would ya?
 
It should also be noted that I'm still married to husband #1, and intend
to stay that way. That's why Steve Earle is my *former* future husband.

Given Mr. Earle's marital record, he should probably be referred to as
Amy's future former husband, if she's still interested, and former future
former husband, if she's thrown him over.

 btw, when I mentioned this to a friend, she misunderstood at first 
 because she'd known somebody who constantly used the same phrase to 
 refer to her *current* husband, as a sign of deep, enduring, 
 fatalistic hostility. B. FFH should be used only for crushable
