[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very wealthy couple I know are in the midst of a bitter divorce. They've been married more than 20 years in what I'd always assumed was the perfect marriage. They have three great kids, two beautiful homes, a great rapport, a perfectly lovely life. I found out recently that the mom is a closet alcoholic, which caused a rift in the marriage none of her closest friends knew about. They'd been in counseling, but could not work things out. The husband had become more and more detached (in private, not in public) and the marriage failed. That's the story that came out once the divorce became public. 
It was shocking to me because I know the wife very well. She has been living a lie, and not telling anyone, except, I'm guessing, her therapist. When the marriage failed, the truth finally came out. Also, they have huge money problems, which they also kept hidden. Their houses have to be sold, along with their cars and other possessions. It's absolutely astonishing to me what people hide and what a good facade they are able to maintain. Until they can't. [/quote]

I doubt it was as dramatic as you describe.

The whole living a lie and creating a facade is very dramatic.

Some people just keep things to themselves.[/quote]
