My family is quite traditional, with everyone marrying once, having kids, and staying together until death, so this has shocked everybody.

Here's the summary:

  • They've been married for 10 years.
  • They have three children, the youngest being two.
  • He found out two months ago that she was sleeping with another guy.
  • Despite this, he wanted to continue the marriage, but she said no.

After talking with family members, I learned that he had lost his job one month before discovering that his wife had been sleeping with another man. He was staying home with the kids, while she was out at work.

There you have it. He's down and out, having lost his job, and his wife decides to tear the family apart over sex. Her father won't even talk to her now.
