in todays ottwawa paper:

"A 99-year-old Italian man is divorcing his wife of 77 years over an affair she had in the 1940s.

Antonio C., as he is identified, found the clandestine Second World War-era love letters a few days before Christmas, reports the U.K.'s Telegraph.

Rosa C., 96, confessed to her philandering, but the cuckolded nonagenarian demanded a divorce, according to the report.

The couple met in the 1930s, when Antonio was a soldier stationed in Rosa's hometown of Naples.

They have five children, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Previously, the oldest man to get divorced was Briton Bertie Wood, who split from his wife Jessie in 2009, when they were both aged 98, the Telegraph said."

what an aweful thing to have to discover after all those years of marriage. my heart goes out to him.
Feelings and jealousy have no age... And people, especially men, get very sensitive with age... Yes poor man!
But, she was almost home & dry grin ; why still keep the letters?

Betcha! she doing that right now!!!
El, women always keep "such" letters. Men should be glad the time of paper love letters is almost gone ;) Although the net has a lot of traps, too! uh oh
While it is no doubt sad, I think there is more to it.. I do not know the details, but during wartime there are no certainties in life, (in fact that goes for today as well), but back then you never knew if you would see your beloved ever again.. uh oh So I can understand to a degree when one would find comfort with another, with the result being every so often they fell for the new love in their life.. Some 80's British comedy...

I had to work overtime one day, late into the evening. When we were finally done, a co-worker told me he had to rush home. I asked "Why the rush"? He answered "My wife is going to get pregnant tonight, and I wanna be there when it happens".lol grin

It is a fact, scientifically proven, women and older men, they exchange roles, because testosterone production in women and estrogen in men, do not diminish with age.

conversing moping Bitter irony of life, men, we become sensitive and fragile, and women reveal their true nature, they become stronger and resistant!blues
