Forgiveness
VIRAL NOTES: While on the basis of Christianity, I've forgiven some pretty bad things, I've also been forgiven for some pretty bad things. Someone reputed to be a Christian (but wasn't), CS Lewis, once stated that 'we must forgive the unforgivable, because God forgave the unforgivable in us'. I agree with that, but there is one thing that, if done to me, has no possibility of reprieve or recovery: infidelity. I'm bringing this up, because I would do exactly what this guy did in this story:
99-year-old divorces wife after he discovered 1940s affair
An Italian couple are to become the world's oldest divorcees, after the 99-year-old husband found that his 96-year-old wife had an affair in the 1940s.
The Italian man, identified by lawyers in the case only as Antonio C, was rifling through an old chest of drawers when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.
Notwithstanding the time that had elapsed since the betrayal, he was so upset that he immediately confronted his wife of 77 years, named as Rosa C, and demanded a divorce.
Guilt-stricken, she reportedly confessed everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision.
She wrote the letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according to court papers released in Rome this week.
The couple are now preparing to split, despite the ties they forged over nearly eight decades - they have five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great-grand child.
The discovery of the letters was the final straw for a marriage which had already run into difficulty - 10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons, only to return a few weeks later.
The Italian press attributed the acrimonious split to the couple's southern blood - he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia, while his wife was born in Naples.
The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio was posted as a young Carabinieri officer to Naples.
The case appears to set a new record, at least for the age of the oldest protagonist - the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, from the UK.
The pair ended their 36-year marriage in 2009 when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays.
They got married in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972, having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth, Cornwall four years later.

VIRAL NOTES: The truth comes out, whores. Not only would I dump her, I'd put her out of my home. Just as there is no statute of limitations for murder, for me, there is no statue of limitations for infidelity. I don't cheat, and I will not be cheated on, ever again, without immediate and irrevocable consequences. In a situation like his, you have to stop and realize that your entire life together, the basis of your entire relationship, was built upon nothing but a lie, and that lie has crumbled to the ground, at long last. I would retain an absolute reptile for legal council, and I would do everything in my power to jackhammer her into the ground, and utterly and completely destroy her name and reputation, before she took her last, lying breath.
You can never really know anyone; some people don't even really get to know themselves. If you really put your trust in someone, you're the fool. This clip I'll never forget; unfortunately I could only find a piece of it, but it conveys the message quite effectively.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, guys.
