A furious 99 year old man is divorcing his wife of 77 years after he discovered she had an affair more than 60 years ago.

The couple, who have been identified only as Antonio and Rosa, have both consulted lawyers and the first hearing in the case is due to take place in March.

Jealous father-of-five Antonio saw red after he discovered dust covered romantic letters from his wife to her secret lover during a clear out of their apartment in Rome.

The couple had tied the knot in Naples in 1934, where Antonio had met Rosa after he had been sent there to serve in the carabinieri paramilitary police but she had had an affair with her unidentified lover ten years later, keeping the secret to herself until now.

Lawyer Anna Orecchioni said: 'The husband decided to file for divorce after finding the love letters.

He uncovered the affair eighty years after it occurred?

Not much of a cop if you ask me.

He should of listened when I told him back in 1933 that you can’t trust any woman!

They shouldn’t get divorced until all the children have died.

Given the era, I wonder if she even knew he was alive?

Man, that is tough. You trust someone with all you being and then you find they were not faithful. That is devastating. What an experience about putting someone on a pedestal and then they just rip your heart and soul out. I am really touched by the pain that man must be feeling.

‘It’s a shame the marriage has ended in this way after such a long time together.’

They had a gouda run.

The affair may have taken place sixty years ago, but the husband’s discovery is in the here and now. And, as she never told him he’s also realized his wife has not been honest with him. He probably wonders what else she has not been honest about, *especially* since she decided to keep the letters from her fling. That’s not exactly a sign of regret, right there.

Poor guy.

He has a right to be pissed. She broke the vow. He is taking the action he deems appropriate. It’s their business - not a public opinion call.

The guy has standards. He just isn’t very perceptive.

"Well maybe you don’t. But He’s still an @ss."

HE'S the ass?

Did she keep her love letters to titillate herself, or to torment her husband ?

She could have disposed of them, but that would have required a guilty conscience.

Do you have a clue what it is like to give your life for something, only to find out it is a lie?
