An Australian friend who married a US friend seems to be no longer married to her.
The last time I saw them together, they were expecting their fourth boy. I think that would have been around...2004? 2005? About four years later, I saw the guy had moved back to Australia with his kids and I made a comment about catching up with him and M. He never responded, which was fine - I figured they were busy and we weren't such close friends that they'd be all "COME UP NOW!"
Last night, on FB, he made a comment about his wife buying an album by a teenager boy-band, and added "but I still love her!" I made a comment about "isn't there something in the wedding vows about 'in good taste and bad'". And then the weirdness began.
His wife responded. It wasn't M.
And now I'm in a tizzy. For the last six, seven years, I just assumed they were still together. Or that she was, you know, alive.
I've only ever seen three kids in his photos, which either makes me thing that something bad happened to M and the fourth kid, or they split, he took the three oldest boys and she kept the youngest and they never spoke again. Or something. I don't know.
But I'm all weirded out. Because something that I took as a given (non-important) is not and I'm just...
...I hope M is okay. Like, if anything happened, it probably happened a long time ago. But it's right now for me.
I don't know where to go to ask what happened, either. I mean, it's kind of tacky to ask him "hey, last I knew you were married to M, what happened?" Especially if the news is six years old or something.
*sigh*
