My future father-in-law is currently in a stress care facility after having a nervous breakdown. His second wife (of something like 6 or 7 years) has left him, more or less for another man. FIL (short for father in law) isn't an angel by any stretch. His first marriage dissolved because his wife caught him cheating on her on three seperate occasions.. and those are just the ones she could prove.
Approximately two years ago FIL cheated on his wife. He was stupid to do so as the woman lived with them and was his wife's best friend. The worst part of it was that the other woman conceived a child by FIL and he lied about it for over a year and half after the baby was born. (Just to give you a clue as to the screwed up family dynamic my fiance is 21 years old. He has a half sister (from a relationship prior to his dad's marriage to his mom) that is 24, an 18 yo sister, a 14 yo sister, a 5 yo half brother a 4 yo half sister and a 2 yo half sister.. not to mention 4 stepsiblings. He has sisters and a brother young enough to be his children! So, doing the math.. that's 11 total including him.) The cheating happened over two years ago now and his wife still hasn't forgiven him about it.
It's so sad to watch FIL torture him over something that happened so long ago, but I kind of understand where she is coming from. F cheated on me and I caught him at it with my younger sister. I know how much hurt and pain you feel. It feels like you can never recover from it and like it's the end of the world. You feel betrayed and trapped and you don't know what way to turn. But, you don't drag it on forever. You either decide you want to try to work past the problems or you seperate, calling an end to the relationship. I can see it taking some time to make that kind of decision, especially when you have small children to take into consideration. However, I think it was a little excessive. I wouldn't be surprised if she waited to leave him until she had found someone else to replace him with. She is that type of person from what I can see of her actions in the short amount of time that I have lived around her.
I can't really think of much else to say about things right now. We're moving to a nicer place tomorrow and I have a lot to do. I also have a lot on my mind and I'm not really sure how to get things out there onto screen from my brain. It would come out wrong and disjointed and not making a lot of sense. Besides, you probably wouldn't want to hear some of it anyway.
G'night little bloggers.. sleep tight.
