So I just found out yesterday that my aunt and uncle are getting a divorce. Because he found out that she was cheating on him. How did he find out? He found some "romantic" "nasty" pictures of them on his own computer. And this guy is sixty years old and married. They've been sneaking around for over a year.
Her side of the family doesn't know yet, but his side? Well, let's just say my grandparents and my mom don't take kindly to their son/brother being treated like this. My grandparents unfriended her on Facebook. My grandpa says that he's so mad that if he saw her right now, he'd kick her.
The worst part is, that's my cousins' mom. Rex and Sam, who some of you have met before, are being put through this. They don't even know yet, and I'm not allowed to talk about it with them. They just lost their grandmother not one month ago and now their family is being ripped apart.
My grandmother is trying to make things go as well as she can for Rex and Sam, and she says she is buying an x-box and a flat-screen TV for my technology-obsessed cousins to that they can have a fun place to hang out during all of this.
I don't know what to do. My parents are divorced and have been since I was 3, so to me it's normal. But my aunt and uncle have been married for probably 16 years, and they were together even back when they were in high school. This is more upsetting to me than anything I had to go through. Not to mention that my aunt, the one who did the cheating, insists that the entire thing was my uncle's fault because he "never showed her enough affection." That's bullshit. She has no idea how good she had it; my uncle makes more money than anybody else I know, and she never had to work a day in her life. And he's loved her every second of their marriage. Even after he discovered the pictures, he was forgiving her and asking to go to marriage counciling. He wants to stay together, and she has the nerve to say he never showed her enough affection?
Each new bit of information I hear just makes me more angry with her. I don't know what she's thinking. Does she realize how much this is hurting her husband and children? Does she honestly think that after the divorce is finalized she is going to marry this guy and not be treated like all of his other 3 wives were treated?
Yet my uncle has said that he is sure there's a part of her that loves him still. He says that she's not doing it to mess with him, she's just been tricked by a bad man. Even though she went all giddy after they finally decided to split and her first thought was to get married to this guy in a month, my uncle says she's not doing it to hurt anyone.
This entire situation makes me feel a little sick. But if he's able to let it go, I guess I will too. Maybe. I don't know, for now I'm still mad.
Oh yeah, not to mention that while we were talking about the situation with our mom, me and Stephanie found out our dad cheated on her back when they were married. Now I'm sorta mad at him, too.
