2021 - George Gaunt is 43, Jan Gaunt is 41, Edward is 16, Richard is 14.
It certainly wasn't how she thought her married life would go.
For 18 years she was a good wife. She bore him two sons, she oversaw the household, she used her social connections to advance his career. But it wasn't enough for her. She was lonely. When the boys were little, they were some comfort to her. They loved her, they needed her. But now they're teenagers, desperate to pull away from her and become little versions of their father.
Alec had been the butler since before their marriage. He had always been there, taking care of them quietly. She hadn't meant for it to happen, but she was alone at home all day with only him for company.
She was surprised by the force of George's anger. She was surprised he cared.
For the first time in her life, she's living on her own. She rented an apartment in Arcadia so as to be close to the boys, although they're not speaking to her now. She isn't seeing Alec anymore; he was good company at the time, but now she has other men ringing her doorbell. For the first time, she's free.
In all the years I've been playing The Sims 2, this is the first time my Sims have had divorce as a green memory! George and Jan are both happy to be rid of each other, which is good because I'd been planning this event from the beginning.
