I failed to understand, who got divorced after 25 years? That's what I get for trying to simplicate things too much. It was the uncle and my aunt, who have both passed now. The uncle died in the 50's, and the aunt about 5 years ago, having made it to about 90. Then to further complicate things, I was widowed at 33, and divorced from the 2nd at about 51. And after nearly 18 years with the 3rd, I told her just a week or so ago that I thought I'd keep her around for another few years.
