Uncle Bunty

"Uncle Bunty" is another story about a man who marries a woman, does not lover her, and has numerous affairs. This story is told from the viewpoint of a niece who refers to this particular couple as "Uncle Bunty" and "Aunt Betty". Uncle Bunty has married Aunt Betty because Aunt Betty's father has given him a large amount of property to do so. They remain married for their whole lives because Aunt Betty's family will not allow her a divorce (despite her husbands philandering) until Uncle Bunty develops testicular cancer. Aunt Betty is at home caring for him one day when she receives a phone call from someone else who is also married to Uncle Bunty! Upon the realization that Uncle Bunty has been living a dual life, Aunt Betty's family "allows" her to have her divorce and life happily ever after in her old age.
