Why go to Peru with him?

They planned a trip to Peru for the day after Christmas because it's "something we've always wanted to do" and because it's differernt and exciting. Now the youngest daughter has said she doesn't want to go on the trip, and Nancy is letting her stay home alone (with friends nearby, of course). I guess the thing that bothers me is: if she can't stand the guy anymore and is going to divorce him in a year or two, why is Nancy going on this trip? Why would she go and spend time with the man that supposedly doesn't care about her and is just not intimate with her anymore? It's all very odd. I have to hope that the youngest daughter resisted the trip in the hope that this coukd be a time for love to rekindle between Nancy and her husband, but I fear that it is more of a selfish desire to stay away from conditions that are different and not to the younger daughter's liking. It might be that she doesn't want to hear the bickering, too. Who knows? I just know that it's odd for Nancy to be going on such a major trip with the man she is going to divorce soon.

Sorrow for Nancy

I have been aware for quite some time that my sister-in-law is planning on leaving her husband as soon as her youngest daughter is out of the house. It pains me to hear the things she says and then watch her live her life as if nothing is wrong. I find that it is hard not to rant and rave at my wife about the situation, so in an attempt to 'get it out of my system' without ranting at her I will try to post those thoughts here.
