mood: down
So I get a phone call today from Marc's (my fiance) mother. Apparently her and leonard (his dad) are having some pretty serious marrital issues. Now I have been supsecting them of having problems for a little while now but marc, on the other hand, has remained completely oblivious to all of this. And honestly I had no clue quite how bad they are. Apparently Mellie (his mom) is pretty convinced that his dad is cheating on her. And the eveindence she presented to me pretty much says excatly that he is. She sent me a picture of this woman also...Disgusting white trash is what she looks like to me.. So she wants me to try and break it to marc that there is a possibility of them getting a divorce ( a very high possibility in my opinion) without actually telling him everything thats going on. I understand this because she doesn't want it to seem like she is pressuring him into taking sides because she doesnt want that she just wants him to know its a possibility. I think thats fair considering they've been married 28 years and he hasnt a clue that they have ever had a problem. But I think he needs to know everything thats going on because his mom is already kind of depressed and I think she really needs him right now. I don't intend on telling him everything bc its not my place and I want to respect his moms wishes but I also know he has a way of dragging things out of me...Poor Marc. I love him so much and I really don't want to have to tell him this because I know how much it is going to hurt him. I guess there isn't anything else I can do though. I'll try and keep an update going on this.

My parents divorced when I was little. I never knew why except for the fact they fought all the time. I found out later that my dad cheated on my mom. It's kind of hard to be in the middle of it all.

Marc is lucky to have you to be there for him especially if they do decide to get a divorce.

yeah, I think you should probably tell him everything. Because when you're married, you're both on the same team, you're a pair. So you both have to have all the same information (i.e., no secrets). Then he'll be able to make a decision about his parents. But really, his mom probably shouldn't have put you in that situation. Hope it turns out ok.

In all fairness, it should be HER that tells him that she's thinking about divorcing his dad. Sounds like she's kind of using you as a middle man. You should be the person that listens to him if he needs you afterwards. Not the news breaker. =(

My parents divorced when I was 5, I think. I don't remember a darn thing about it. They pretty much dislike eachother a lot now. It didn't help that he married my mom's sister after he divorced her.
