Man, 99, Files For Divorce From Wife, 96, After Finding 60-Year-Old Love Letter To Another Man
Posted on Dec 30, 2011 @ 07:00AM
A jaw-dropping story comes out of Italy Friday, where a 99-year-old identified in court docs as "Antonio C." has filed for divorce from his wife of 77 years, 96-year-old “Rosa C.,” after finding evidence of an affair she had more than 60 years ago.
The man found the letter, written in the 1950s, while searching through a drawer just before Christmas. The wife confessed to the fling, urging her husband to remain in the marriage.

The couple, The Telegraph reported, has five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great-grand child.
The record for the oldest divorced couple was previously set in 2009, after England natives Bertie and Jessie Wood, both 98, filed for divorce after 36 years of marriage.

At that age I would probably just move out and choose separation til I passed away....divorce just seems like a whole lot of stress to go through. But hey, she lied to him, and apparently was totally okay with keeping it secret, too. Not cool.

After 77 years. And he's 99. By the time the divorce is final, he'll be dead. I know that's harsh to say but come
on. It's so rare to hear about marriages lasting this long. Or even lasting 30 years...

Poor thing, he probably think they are still living in 1950. At that age his thoughts are all scrambled. I hope their kids can talk some sense into him. He don't know what he's doing.

Stupid. This is going to cost him no matter which way you look at it.

I'd be pissed if I were him. It's a deception, no matter how long ago it happened. She broke their vows.
