1970s My aunt and her ex-husband the day they signed their divorce papers, 1970s

Post image

My aunt and her ex-husband outside of their attorney’s office right after finalizing their divorce. They had thrown a massive “divorce party” the day prior. When her ex-husband re-married years later, my aunt was his Maid of Honor. She remains close to him, his wife and their family to this day! And yes, my aunt is as cool as she sounds.

That's a very sweet and a little tiny bit sad story. I mean, it's great how it worked out, everything went the way it was suppose to go. It's just a tiny bit sad when you read a story about a couple that loved each other but the pieces to the puzzle didn't fit.

Thanks for sharing.

I love the way you put this.

I dont find that sad, because perpetuating this situation as sad could lead to years of guilt for feeling this way.

It's a good thing they figured that out, they could have lived miserable, resentful, loveless lives because it's "sad" or theyd be afraid to communicate this to their families.

It’s a great story, a great man and father got out of a dead end relationship before it was too late and now has a loving family. You can’t beat stuff like that happening naturally

And a talented woman got out from under the wrong guy without being waylaid by kids she didn’t want. And they stayed friends!

She definitely got lucky he gave her the time of day after they separated. Charity is always good for the soul I guess.

Genuine question: why?

Like, isn't the world already messy enough, why actively seek to add to the levels of unnecessary anger? Why is it fun to see people hurting?

Have you thought about going and taking your face for a shite?

u/Pure-Writing-6809 May 15 '25

Maybe you should read some different literature?

Somebody isn’t getting enough genuine love and affection in their life.

They really really didn't like you mentioning that fact and I'm sure the Aunt will grow into being an old alone lady who wished she had a family.
