99-Year-Old Man Files for Divorce Over 1940s Affair

[WMack4Bama]

What lead to the demise of the long-lasting relationship? Seems that Antonio found love letters in an old chest of drawers that his now 96-year-old wife had written to a lover way back in the 1940s. He showed his wife of 77 years the letter and immediately demanded a divorce. When confronted with the evidence of her affair, Rosa confessed her long-ago infidelity. While Rosa seemed to hope that the confession would allow her to reconcile with her husband and the father of her five children, instead Antonio filed for divorce at the age of 99.

That will teach her. So she is single, wonder if she is hawt?

Well she sure hung onto those letters long enough waiting for him to discover them. She could've been free 50 years and a few kids ago if she hadn't hid 'em so well.

Now she keeps the letters and gets half his stuff.

Speaking of hung, that is why she hung onto them letters,

Right? Good Lord, woman! Either she has been hoping to get caught for 77 years (and ain't real bright on how to get caught), or just isn't very smart.

He has to have something more than that for as cause for divorce, or he's in a dumpload worth'a trouble. Most states won't recognize that "as cause" if the parties have bed danced since then. I'm betting they have and he needs to find another reason for divorce.

Bed danced, thats a goodie. Was wondering where you were.

Heh. I learned an alternative definition for "santorum" and that there are slutty 96-year-olds. Interesting way to start the new year. Good times.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

At that age you just go to sleep and when you wake up odds are you won't remember it anyway.


I worked with a guy at Harrah's Entertainment who once told me that he believed 75% of spouses have cheated, are cheating or will eventually cheat and that the reason the divorce rate isn't higher is because there's a lot of spouses who haven't figured out their spouse is cheating.

So she says.

Ha! We have learned all kinza of creative ways to say the obvious cuz we love our mods and love to stay on their "good" sides! And, it mighta sounded better than "if they'd hit that since then...."

I've been away a few days from TF, and have had quite the time catchin' up ...on all sorts of levels! Gotta have that TF fix for the day :wink:

Well good to see your face. Nothing changed here, we still running all the women folk off, or that is what Staci says

Irreconcilable differences is the blanket legal reason for divorce. Either party can claim that...

Infidelity is infidelity, but I'm a big picture guy. Most people I know around my age group have either cheated or been cheated on. And in many cases both. It seems as if it's a rite of passage at this point. So many options out there. But the thing is, I can't wrap my mind around one moment (or one period of time) carrying more weight than 70 years of matrimony. I don't get it.

My wife and some friends & I argue all the time about stuff like this. For example, in their minds, if someone stands someone else up at the altar, then that's it. That's the point of no return. Yeah..it's embarrassing, no doubt, but why does it necessarily have to be the end of it? People have legitimate reasons for that. From a man's side, he may truly not be ready. He may feel as if he's not in a position to provide. Could be pressure from either side of the family that's making life a living hell. I just don't get it.

I love my wife to death. And she's worth SO MUCH more to me than sex. If she were to step out, the pain would be almost unbearable. But I'm pretty sure I could get past it and keep it moving.

People often wonder why the divorce rate is so much higher now than in, say, the early 20th century. And I contend that it's not because men are any more jerkish or because women are too mouthy or loose. My theory is that people are just less forgiving and less patient. Marriage takes WORK. And bailing because of that is an easy out, in my opinion. I'm pretty sure that during that aforementioned time, adultery was a LOT more widespread and that these women knew about it. And in many cases, they understood the point I just made: Marriage takes work, patience, and forgiveness and that you married more than one part of your spouse's body.

Riz just PM'd me and wanted me to tell you he thinks you're lying and would like for you to prove it to him and he'd be glad to provide the necessary participants to create the test model for this experiment.:biggrin2:

Y'all don't need any comments from me re: how you run wimmenz off. I'm just a spectator in the stands.

As for Mack's post, he's right about adultery: People been stepping out, or "bed dancing" if you will, since the invention of marriage. Heck, my own father has a kid outside his current marriage of nearly 40 years to my step-mom (my mom was his first wife). I've never even met the kid! My stepmom was hurt, but then she told me she had basically stopped sleeping with him 20+ years ago because of his penchant for girlfriends so she wasn't surprised that someone other than her got pregnant along the way. She wasn't going to divorce him over it.

My grandfather on my mom's side had a longstanding affair with a married woman outside of his marriage and had a daughter with that woman. My grandmother wasn't leaving him either. He owned a lumber mill and was a good provider and my grandmother said she had too much invested in him to get too bent out of shape over an illegitimate child across town. :biggrin2: I was doing a record search a while back and found (via birth and death certificates) that my grandfather had also fathered a son with some woman in Atlanta just a few short years into his marriage to my grandmother. He traveled a good bit and was a good-looking mans... that baby died in infancy though. I'm sure my grandmother didn't know about that or I'd have heard the tale.

My own mother was "married" to a man in her mid-20's only to find out 5-6 months into the "marriage" that he had an entire other family (wife and 3 kids) across town!

Yeah, people dilly-dally and philander now, always have, and always will. Doesn't make it right, but also doesn't mean a family has to fall apart because of it.

Yes. And that's just my dad and my grandfather. One of my four brothers is also the same way.
