I had a really wonderful LDS friend who was in her mid-fifties. She'd been married for 35 years to a man who was a High Priest and a Stake President. They had 5 grown kids, all active in the Church, and both my friend and her husband were pillars of kindness and virtue in the community.
For whatever reason, her husband became interested in another (married) woman in his ward; he said they were dating in chastity after he left his wife, and wanted to be married. Both divorces were approved, they apparently got a Temple recommend and he was sealed to his second wife, and she was unsealed to her first husband and sealed to him instead. I don't know if my friend's husband was also "unsealed" to her, but I imagine that would be necessary if she wanted to marry again, since she can only be sealed to one husband in the Celestial Kingdom.
Anyway, it just seemed like my dear friend got a dirty deal and I wondered how many Mormons would agree with me. How often does this happen?
