The damning discovery days before Christmas led the galled grandfather to confront his once two-timing wife immediately, London’s Daily Telegraph reported.

Once the divorce is finalized, the pair could take the record for world’s oldest divorcees.
The previous oldest couple to divorce were Brits - Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, who ended their 36-year marriage in 2009, the Telegraph reported.

#1 - Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:03 AM ESTThe uncovering of the letters inside an old chest of drawers was the final straw for a relationship that had already been rocky: 10 years ago, the husband moved out to live with one of the sons, but returned weeks later.
It sounds like the marriage probably should have ended 10 (or more) years ago, though it is impossible to know the right or wrong of most personal relationships without knowing the people involved on a personal basis.
Cheating is wrong, however some marriages/relationships survive it after it is known and some do not.
The husband just found a way to end the marriage/relationship that society (and possibly his religion) would find acceptable and is taking it. Somehow I am doubting that either one of them was ever truly happy with the other.
