What a wonderful Auntie Mame sort of thing for her to do.
I too think desi was the love of her life and they screwed it up and neither of them ever got past it.

I think many people, including us, never thought of them as being apart. The people they married after the divorce was just a friendship.
Maybe in a different day and age, Desi and Lucy would have gotten better therapy for their problems. I think then it was looked down upon to get therapy. The gossip columnists at the time didn't help either.
