Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I need to type it out and wondered if anyone else has heard of this:
I was talking to my Dad earlier about him growing up in post war North West. We were talking about how times have changed, what's acceptable now that wasnt then, blah blah blah. Then he said something that stunned me. He said that his Mum had told him that a lot of women should be ashamed of the way they'd behaved during the war when their husbands were away, that many women had had affairs. He said that after the war there was an increase in women being murdered by their husbands due to things like affairs and that the police turned a blind eye to this.
I have never heard this before, has anybody else? If it's true, I am quite disturbed. Even more so at the casual way it was mentioned by my father.
