I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

Oh-- forgot to mention something--the sitch that my friend, C, told me about where her mom found the letter from an OW written to her dad...

turns out it was a joke! Seriously. When she told me I thought "yeah right...what a sorry lie!" but then she explained how her mom confronted him. She handed him the letter. Her dad was like "ok...what is this?" She tells him to read it and explain himself. He gets a few lines into it and then bursts out laughing. He said that it was from an old buddy of his who is just a prankster...her mom knew the guy. He explained that he kept the letter because it was his buddy's way of giving him his new address. So her mom believes him.

My friend told me that her mom decided NOT to tell him about the ONS she had with the family friend, but that her dad reiterated to her mom that he only had the 3 ONS back in the day.

And the messed up thing- I am relieved for her folks, seriously, but when I heard it was a joke, I wanted to BAWL! to CRY! How many times have you heard the betrayed spouses say "Please God,please tell me I am dreaming and this is not really happening." And in this case, it DIDN'T happen! It WASN'T real!

sigh.
