Wait a minute...Not all women...its a huge deception.

Some people are talking about forgiveness as if it's a movement of the arm. You don't just sit down and decide, "I'm going to forgive them", especially when someone cheats on you.

Talk of time he has left. Well, it often takes TIME to forgive someone. Suppose he can't manage to forgive her in time. Then he will be more angry staying with her than if he left.

Humiliation. Right or wrong, pride is likely playing a role here. The man probably feels like he's been made a fool of his entire life, especially considering that she held onto the letters all the while.

And let's not assume that just because he's an old man, he has no one to cling to but his wife. Especially with him being Italian and all, maybe he has a strong support system in his family.

Forsaking all others and a promise to be faithful were not followed either. So it is justified to say GTFO.

For all we know, this may come down to Italian inheritance law. Think about it. He may have decided to 'get the last laugh in' and make sure his wife (who will no longer be his wife) doesn't get a red cent of his money.

People have done crazier things. To him, it may be a huge issue of honor.

This is the only thing in this thread that has a logical flow to it. Given that the wife is about to die too, he doesn't want children that aren't really his to get any of his money. Of course he could always donate all his money to charity ala bill gates to make sure the children never get any.

Still, it all sucks to me.

"Where the heck is that other sock of mine?"

"Granny panties, stockings, some bengay....What? What's this???"

"Gertrude!!! GERTRUDE!!!"


(Pulling his pants up to his man nipples as if to fight)

"WHAT ARE THESE??"

(Grabs her by the throat and squeezes. Squeezes somemore, squeezes still some more)

"Whew." (Out of breath and unable to complete the task)

"Oh hell.. I want a divorce then you fluesy."

I like that! That's what this is....it's OLD news!

He may be thinking about forgiveness and anger and knows that to forgive her is to get away from her and not have to see her everyday and stew in his anger, resentment and disappointment. Most people need time to process and pray, for those who pray, and get over anger and resentment to forgive people who hurt them.

Would his wife really be considered as one who truly loves him? His children and grandchildren will probably be there for both of them, so both will have the opportunity to "die pleasantly and with a light heart" with loved ones around them.
