The lesson here is that women always save shit from love affairs. They can't part with it. Hell...Monica Lewinsky saved the dress Bill Clinton nutted on. They're emotional and nostalgic. She should have NEVER kept that shit in the house. Give it to someone to keep for you. Better yet...burn it. I can't blame him for feeling the way he did. He's old school and proud. It certainly seems extreme to divorce her at his age, with all those years between them. But I'm not ready to say he was wrong.
It's funny...a married chick I was seeing for years did the same thing. She swore her husband would NEVER go through her things, blah, blah, blah. I knew different. If a man suspects his wife is fucking around, and he thinks the answer is on your laptop, or in a box in the bottom of the closet, he's going to look (even if he's cheating himself). He looked. In this case, it reminded him how close he came to losing something he didn't value enough, and it put him on the straight and narrow.
