Why did she keep the letters after the affair ended?

So does this mean it was a failed marriage?

If he shot her, would it still be a crime of passion?


Judge: So, Mickey Mouse, I understand you want a divorce from Minny because she is 'crazy'?
Mickey: I didn't say she was crazy, I said she was farkin' Goofy!

A couple is celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary and suddenly the wife glares at the husband and punches him in the arm.

He turns to her and asks "What was that for?"

"For 50 years of bad sex," she replies.

The man is silent for a minute and then he punches her in the arm.

"What was that for?" she asks

"For knowing the difference," he replies.

To the curb with her.

Ten bucks says they are both dead within a year. Love was probably the only thing keeping them alive.

/well, that and booze.

bump: It may have been over 60 years to her, but it was like yesterday to him. He probably felt like he'd been played for a fool most of his life and gave way more to her than she gave to him.

Reverse the genders and no doubt the Dr Phil crowd would rally around the poor wife/victim...

And now all I can hear is Dr Phil yelling at a 99 year old guy.
"What do you mean it was 60 years ago? Ya dun cheated on her, ya can't uncheat. If the pig gets in the cornfield and eats your crop then it will always want more crop." - Dr Phil

Sleeping Monkey: He's one of the lucky ones. Most men live their whole lives without knowing their wives cheated on them.

That's correct, because women have a funny way of redefining cheating so that the sex didn't count as "technical sex" or "cheating".

And it's the man's fault she cheated.

It didn't count if she didn't enjoy it. Or if she was mad at you. Or she thought you were mad and were going to break up with her anyway, so she was technically single in her mind at the time.

Alot of folks are going nuts here over the sixty year figure. However, I'd point out that to him, the emotional damage is fresh.

I'm picturing this guy in the true twilight of life, looking back on it all. All the things he did, and didn't do. He may have had the potential to pull massive tail in and didn't because of his vows. He looks back and thinks "I could have nailed Mabel, Eunice, Mildred, Betsy, and that waitress at the diner...so glad I was a man of honor!" He's just inching towards death and at 99 he realizes banging those women wouldn't have made any negative difference. That's why he hates her.

But who will take care of the children?

/won't somebody think of the children

Snarfangel: Why did she keep the letters after the affair ended?

EXACTLY! she continued to cheat simply by keeping the letters.

whore...

boyvoyeur: But who will take care of the children?

They should both be forbidden from remarrying, since it will result in no children.

He should be clinging to her like grim death, which isn't so far off!

Well, I still kind of feel bad for her. But I feel worse for him.
Maybe he got some snatch on the side, too, and didn't tell anyone?

Perhaps he suspected her of cheating at that time, confronted her about it, but she vehemently denied cheating?

Which means she's been lying to his face for the last 60 years.

One small divorce for man. One giant leap for putting cheating women everywhere in their place.

Butt sex in another zip code dosent count!

Snarfangel: Why did she keep the letters after the affair ended?

This is exactly what I was thinking. It indicates a lack of regret and a real emotional betrayal that far outlasted the actual affair. If this sort of thing happened today she probably would have left him to be with her lover, but divorces didn't really happen back then. I mean, who keeps letters for 60 years just for the hell of it?

Goddamn it, has everyone in this thread met my ex-girlfriend? Sure seems like it.

How can you feel bad for a cheater?

Butt sex doesn't count in any regard. At least that's what Jeebus said.

d-fens99: I'd point out that to him, the emotional damage is fresh.

Cheating isn't about sex; it's about dishonesty. She was witholding the truth from him every day for sixty years, right up until the day he found out. It's true the emotional damage is fresh, but what's really the case here is that the crime is fresh. As long as she's violating his trust she might as well have farked a different guy every day the entire time.

Just because he found out about the one affair 60 years ago does not mean that she did not have others-once a cheater....

Italian women apparently....

I don't see why this is strange.

What is the statute of limitations on cheating? If I found out my wife cheated on me; I'd leave her. I'd expect that she'd do the same.

For those of you who disagree with his actions - what is the time limit? If it was last year - do you just argue, but if it's five years ago you joke about it? And, if you just happen to find out about one indiscretion (which is unlikely, the longer it's been since the cheating the less likely you are to find out)....what makes you think there aren't many, many more?

Boardroom Woman: Whores running around, doing their little behind-shake for the men folk...

Richard Hayden: I kinda like her idea.

Boardroom Man: For Christ's sake. Once during the war I visited a prostitute, and my life has been a living hell ever since.

Cheating is about sex and dishonesty. If you're in a committed monogamous relationship, sex is supposed to be a singular physical connection with the other person. Bringing someone else into that completely destroys that dynamic. Trust does get destroyed, but it's intertwined with the physical part as well. I've had friends who couldn't even look into their former SO's eyes after they found out she cheated (out of disgust or whatever reason). That kind of repulsion kind of precludes sex with the other.

Yep, yep.

I love my wife. I have no fear of her being unfaithful. We've been together happily for 8 years. If I found out she cheated 7 years ago, that would call everything about our lives together into question.

Knowing that you have been living a lie for 60 years has got to hurt.

Two Hearted: Goddamn it, has everyone in this thread met my ex-girlfriend? Sure seems like it.

Your ex-girlfriend is 90+ years old? Grilled cheese etc.

boyvoyeur: But who will take care of the childrengreat-grandchildren?

FTFY

How much you want to bet one of his five kids does not look like the others but bears a striking resemblance to the man she had an affair with?
