Belgium man discovers his Indonesian wife used to be man after 19 yrs of marriage

[jdlo56]

kinda odd set of news:

The daily Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday carried the remarkable story of a man from Antwerp who after 19 years of marriage discovered his wife used to be a man. 'I feel I've been assaulted' the duped husband told the paper in an extensive interview. 'Jan' married 'Monica' in 1993, but it was only recently that he discovered that his wife had originally been a man and had undergone a sex change.
'Jan', who had been married twice before, didn't suspect a thing for many years. His partner, who hailed from Indonesia, used the contraceptive pill and claimed she was still menstruating. 'Jan' told Het Nieuwsblad that 'Monica' claimed she was still menstruating and used sanitary towels.
For many years they had a normal family life, though 'Jan' told the paper that he now understands why she always used a lubricant when they had sex.
The woman's past only came to light after rumours surfaced. 'Jan' also noticed that his wife was seeking out young men. One night he confronted her and she confessed that she had been born a man.
The duped husband told Het Nieuwsblad that his world simply came apart. The police were called to the house that very night when a brawl broke out. Today 'Jan' and 'Monica' still live in the same house, but don't exchange a word. Legal proceedings to get 'Monica' out of the house failed. 'Jan' is now seeking an annulment of the marriage.

kinda brings to light the ongoing debate of when best to reveal your past to your spouse- if ever- and what the possible consequences may be.....

Interesting, I wonder if he would have known if she never cheated on him.

I lived in Belgium for a few years. I guess most of you have never met a Belgian woman....

It's a very strange country. Seriously.

The poor guy should get over it. When they marry, she was 29 and he was 45; can’t help thinking he must have been a happy dude. And at 45, you pass pretty fast the “ideal” time to have kids –not that it’s absurd to have some after. What’s stricking me here, is that he’s more shocked that she used to be a man (long, long ago, obviously), than that she was unfaithful. That’s ridiculous. Yet even there, she’s 48 and he’s 64; he might not be much anymore in bed, and maybe she tried her best not to hurt his feeling trying to satisfy some urges. We don’t and can’t know. But nature is nature and needs are needs…
And Robert Louis, you’re right; you know what the French say about the Belgians, don’t you? They’re the subject of farce; to them, the Belgians epitomizes stupidity –wrongfully, of course, in my opinion, but strange well, maybe, yes…

Just ask yourself why Belgium was the home of surrealism and it all fits, like a haddock in a drainpipe.

Yeap!
A few of early dadaist tricks...

she must have had a really great surgeon or he didn't like to lick.

Maybe there was a dim bulb in the bedroom. He wondered why she couldn't iron.

Stranger than fiction
