We went to their wedding 4 years ago. I didn't know the real story at the time. Makes my blood boil now...
LO, Do you think it would have made your blood boil if you had known back then? Or do you think you would have thought that is scandalous and then not given it another thought?
I had an uncle, my mother's youngest brother, who cheated on his beautiful sweet wife and three beautiful daughters when I was in my early twenties. They were in their early thirties. Sad thing is my uncle's OW was younger than me! She was only 5 years older than his 15 year old daugher. Looking back I thought it was awful that he did that to his family, but didn't really dwell on it. I hate to say it, but now that I've experienced, it is a whole new picture to me. I remember his wife telling me that divorce was like a death. Wow, I now see how profound and true that it...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that someone who hasn't experienced adultery doesn't feel the enormous impact. Everyone always thinks "that's so horrible", and then go on with their daily lives without really giving it much thought...
