The younger one watched all the tv shows, and got all mushy about 'family'. Finally I was like, ok let's see. Who are in your family. We began with XH. Much smaller set, most of whom he has met. By the time we went down to the 11th cousin, he was overwhelmed.

Didn't have to courage to start talking about my 8 aunts and uncles, and TWENTY FIVE cousins. By the time I finished my dad's side, he had fallen down. LOL.

Horrible realizations

- I don't remember the name of one of my first cousins.
- I don't remember the kids stats of atleast 4 of my cousins, i.e. their #, gender, and names.

yikes, gonna get updated tonight.

If XH ever gives her a summary of my family, he would go, 'beta, all that you see happening in Bollywood movies, the strange things, all that has happened in mommy's family and close friends.'

W2: Hello.

W1: Hello, who is this?

W2: I am A's wife.

W1: What do you mean, I am A's wife.

This phone convo happened 4 months ago. A is 'technically' nephew (son of my second cousin), but only 2 months younger to me. We grew up as friends. Found out this kaand just today.

NOT TELLING XH, his point will be proven yet again.

A is a 40-year-old hot marketing executive. Hot as in salary, not in looks. In looks he looks like a kaddu (as far as I remember). A married W1 about 10 years ago. They have a 7-8 year old daughter. He lost a few jobs, and then changed a few jobs, all of which required extensive traveling throughout India. He finally settled in a job in a big city near New Delhi, but W1 stayed stationed in Bhopal, my home town. He never took her with him (he says because she refused). He would rarely come to meet her, maybe once in 3-4 months, and that too would be a 'come in the morning, leave in the evening' deal. She managed her house and kid's expenses all by herself. He didn't give her a single paisa. Everyone in the family was upset about this and were trying to intervene/mediate, but to no avail. (I have a big side story about his mom, but that's whole another BIG drama requiring a separate movie of its own).

His wife learned lately that he has been married to W2 for last 2-3 years, who is a 28-year-old small time (maybe ex) model. W2 is a previous divorcee with an 8 year old girl herself. He told her he has never been married. He also lied to her big time about his mom, my cousin. (W1 and W2 had a long talk apparently).

W1 is proceeding now with a divorce. W2 is planning to live with him, who would want to give up a golden goose. I am not sure why W1 is not putting a bigamy case against him, but it looks like he had made her sign many blank papers when she trusted him. So she is looking at all her options before she proceeds.
