Hey! :) Sorry for asking, this is probably something people already discussed about, but have you ever seen the wikipedia page of William Hamilton? He was married to Catherine Barlow, and during his second marriage his wife had an affair with an officer in the Royal Navy! O:

oh my god they were real

It gets better. His father’s name was Archibald, his first wife played the harpsichord, and he lived with his second wife and her lover. He left an enameled portrait of his wife to the lover in his will, meaning that he knew and either didn’t want a scandal or didn’t care, and I’m leaning toward the latter. Excuse me. I’m going to go cry now.
