Got a postcard from Hawaii yesterday, from my XSIL. This was the third wife of my older brother, who dumped her just before my H dropped the bomb on me. I didn't know about DBing at the time, and told her frankly that he had treated her badly for years, she deserved better, and this was a pattern with him. She really loved my brother, but as her friends urged her the same, she started dating again, and right off the bat met a nice guy who incidentally happens to be wealthy (not the attraction for her, but a nice bonus!).
Now, three years later, my brother's girlfriend (OW or not, we're not sure) has dropped him, the divorce is settled (he was shocked! that she didn't just roll over like his previous two wives and actually wanted her fair share of their assets)and XSIL is still with the nice, wealthy guy. She sent me a postcard from Kauai, where they were vacationing, and had just bought a place in Princeville to be used as a future retirement home.
I'm glad for her, that things are going well for her, and sorry for my brother, but not too sorry, that he is in a hell of his own making.
