Let's discuss...
DH's cousin {H}.
She got married at the end of August {after pushing her wedding back from June 2011 to October 2012 and then back up to August 2011}.
Supposedly she told her mom before Thanksgiving she "didn't want to be married anymore." There are a few FB pictures of her w/o her wedding ring on.
A week before Christmas, her husband {K} came to her parents house and told them that they had separated. At Christmas K was not at the house. H spent most of the time sulking in the corner- I think trying to draw attention to herself, and kept her hand hidden in her sleeve- she did have the ring on.
Not that the status of her marriage has any affect on me, but I'm so sad for K and her parents. According to my SIL, H has never been faithful to K, and is rumored to have had a guy on the side the ENTIRE time they were together.

How old is she?
She's 21... and a young 21 at that.
H was with K [he's 23 I think] since her senior year of HS. Last year they bought a house. He works out of town a bunch [does welding work] so she's home by herself all the time. She has a 2-year degree and works full-time as an HR person.
ETA: I think my biggest hangup is that it seems as if she never wanted to get married, ie. in love with the idea of being in love. There are also some other rumors floating around that she's in cahoots with one of her friends to seduce best friend's husband so she can get out of her marriage too. This all came out the Friday before Christmas too... yeesh.
There was definitely an awkwardness in the house. Jason passed around the gifts to all the grandkids and pocketed K's gift until he was able to get his uncle alone.
I think what's really weird about the whole thing is that we were all walking on eggshells because of her and nothing (aside from K telling her parents they were separated) has even been confirmed.
She sounds like she's looking for attention with all the ring business (how big is this thing if it is noticeable on FB?)
And why were you on eggshells? I don't follow that part.
It's not that her rings is HUGE per se, but just that it's visably missing.
We're all walking on eggshells as to not hurt her mom's feelings. Her parents just closed the local grocer they owned in the small community where they live- like right before Thanksgiving (also when H told her mom she didn't want to be married anymore)- so the family has already had a rough go these last few month.
It was like the elephant in the room that no one would admit was there.
Sounds like she wanted the attention of the wedding, but not the reality of the marriage. That's so sad for everyone's heart that she has broken, especially her husband's. Sounds like she has a lot of growing up to do!
