Is Anything Ever What It Seems?

     On July 18, 2012 I blogged about Elle Zober, the Oregon wife who posted this for sale sign in front of her house -



      Ms. Zober, a photographer and greeting card maker, made the rounds with the TV news and the talk shows.  She started a blog named "The Scorned & Slightly Bitter Blog."  She states in her blog's sidebar, "We are divorced and for the very reason the sign [the real estate sign shown above] suggests."  Oh, really?  Ms. Zober came out in her June 3, 2013 blog entry.  http://www.greatfamilyhome.com/1/archives/06-2013/3.html  You see, she's known since she was a child that she is a lesbian.  Well, she knew, but maybe she wasn't sure.  Or maybe she was in denial.  Or something.  She married husband #1, a man who went outside the marriage for sex since he didn't get it at home.  After that split, she dated men until she met Husband #2, her soulmate.  They weathered health problems and had two children.  He never failed to make her laugh, they never stopped talking, they were best buds, but their marriage had little physical intimacy.  So, when she discovered his extra marital dalliance, the sign went up in front of the house.  The scorned-heterosexual-wife blog hit the internet.  She kept up her straight facade - until four weeks ago.
     Did anyone see this coming?  Maybe the flippant nicknames given to the players was a hint.  The ex-husband is El Capitan.  His 22 year old girlfriend, La Novia.  She refers to her children as The Boy and The Girl.  Ms Zober's butch love interest was Carhartt (they broke up).  I get the feeling there are more surprises to come.  Is anything ever what it seems?  Rarely.
