Seriously, that is the only weird part of the story.[/quote]

I really saw no reason to tell them.  My brother and his wife decided to divorce well into the pandemic shut down this past Spring.  My brother isn't taking any precautions and my family has a risky health condition so there is zero way we would be seeing him. It just wasn't relevant to their lives.  I'm not close enough to my brother that we're zooming with him every day and the kids would notice their aunt wasn't there.

I just thought it was a little weird of my brother not to say "hey, I have a girl friend, she'll be joining the family zoom on Thanksgiving."  Not everyone in my family (siblings and parents) knew he had a girl friend, and some hurt feelings surfaced after the call for some who didn't know he had a girl friend.  He rarely shows up to family zooms anyway, so it was a pleasant surprise he even joined.  I just can't imagine anyone showing up with a significant other to an in person family holiday meal without letting people know.  A zoom on Thanksgiving didn't seem much different to me in that respect.  I guess plenty of other people disagree.
