Oh, I forgot...yesterday when we were at the exhibition, I was in the ladies and met the partner/wife of XH's uncle.
The uncle is the brother of XH's father. He is exactly the same type as XH: character, alcohol consumption and even down to the job that he does.
The uncle was married with a son. I think he left his M when his son was quite young. The son is now grown up, in his 20s.
The uncle and his new partner/wife have child who must be about 8 years old now.
Both of them had always been very open and friendly with me and I liked her a lot especially.
When i bumped into her yesterday she seemed very, very tired and distracted. Part of me wonders now how she's coping with everything. Not coping with what happened with me I mean, but coping with her own life. I'm pretty sure she carries a lot of the burden.
Anyway, who knows. Maybe a whole lot of something else was going on in her life and that's what she was tired and distracted about.
