Some people surprise me!

So this isn't really a question or anything I just figured you all would get a kick out of this...

So this friend B (kinda friend, we work together) has been married and divoreced 3 times, she has 2 children with each guy. So B has 6 children, her youngest is under 5 and oldest is a senior. Each marriage lasts about 5 years.

B just finalized the 3rd divorce a few months ago, and everyone knew she had found her high school sweetheart S on facebook and they rekindled the fire between them.

Today I was talking to another Lady C that we both work with and found out that the trip and B and S and a bunch of other friends are going on in a month is their secret wedding! B isn't going to tell her children, or her family, or anyone! I know that it is her life and everything but when I found out I was just shocked! How could you go get married and not tell ANYONE! The only reason I found out is that her MOH (who we also work with) let it slip...

So ya...that was my drama from work..anyone else have anything interesting!

People are weird. My FI's brother and his now wife tried to hide their wedding and baby from family only. They invited all their friends but didn't tell any of well HIS side, her side knew what was going on. There wasn't even a feud going on they just left us out?! Awkward and annoying at the least, but people do what people do. It's hard to watch a train wreck waiting to happen but sometimes you just have to sit and wait.

Wow. I can't believe she wouldn't at least tell her kids what was going on. If I was any of those kids, especially the oldest, I'd be pissed.

BriannaMarie12 · February 2012

ya her two oldest boys were supper pissed when they found out she was already dating someone else...those two boys take care of their 4 sisters all the time! I don't know why you would wanna hide something like a wedding... everyone is going to find out sooner or later! And if it were me I would rather them not approve but know it was going to happen instead of just an oh hey btw we are married now...

Insane. How does she afford all these divorces, kids and weddings? I assume that by senior you mean a senior in high school and not a senior citizen? Haha

BriannaMarie12 · February 2012

Haha I have no idea how she affords it..they guy she is with now is in the army or something.... but she has been flying out to seen him at least once a month. And yes her oldest is a senior in high school. lol

As a Canadian, I don't use that nomenclature (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) often.

I guess it's too each his (or her) own when it comes to marriage!

<div>This. A secret wedding, no biggie, but not telling the kids? When they are pissed already? Not smart.</div>

Wow, my daughter is 18, and when her dad got married for the third time earlier this year without telling anyone, she was ticked! That might also have something to do with the fact he did the same thing a few years ago. If he gets divorced again, I imagine we can be prepared for the next surprise marriage.

ChristineNB · February 2012

I can understand trying to keep the wedding under wraps. After being married 3 times she's probably worried about people judging her for a 4th marriage. If she truly has not told her kids, that is wrong, but for all we know that could be just hearsay.

How heartbreaking for the kids when they find out random ass coworkers knew about this but not them.

TiffannieF · February 2012

Seriously arag.

B sounds like a real winner.

Um....thanks for putting my life in perspective. LOL

caterpillar85 · February 2012

So you work with my FMIL?
She did the same thing, got back in touch with a high school friend on Facebook, cheated, divorced hubby, and is now living with the guy (divorce isn't even final yet.) She posts how madly in love she is with him all the time and it really irritates me... I'm not mad that she is happy and in love but SHHHH I am afraid she does it to tick off FI's dad

I'm waiting for this "we got married" news... (obv after divorce is final) let me know how it goes, so I can be prepared.

chelsy31588 · February 2012

Ha so my AUNT did the same thing also, she got married to a guy on Christmas eve 2011 and didn't tell her 3 kids, ages 21, 13, 6. Now there is talk of divorce! Guess that was not a smart move on her part, plus it's her 3rd marriage! Feel bad for my cousins but not bad for her, she brings it upon herself! Irratating for the rest of the family but no one can tell her what to do she doesn't listen to anyone.
