Shadow of The 1st Wife, Unfair ?

My aunt is a head of a local church's women organization. The thing about my aunt is she's a very nice and gentle, a quiet and kind woman. Not the fake polite one but a genuinely nice person.

Last saturday they attended one of the flock's funeral. About this guy, he divorced his 1st wife and had a shotgun wedding with another woman 2 months after, when they got married they woman was at least 6 months pregnant so it didn't take a sherlock to figure it out. All of this happened way back in the 80s and was a hot gossip that never left people's mind, i was only 6 back then and whenever i saw them my mind would always associated with 'the shotgun wedding guy'. They stayed married until his death and only had 1 child, my aunt said they always looked cordial between each other, not much romance. Maybe it was just their style or maybe they were unhappy who knows

This woman is friend of my aunt. 2nd wife told her that her husband had made a last will before his stroke, it's equally divided for 4. One for the 2nd wife, one for the son, one for the church, and one for the 1st wife. Initially she thought that it was a mistake or that his brain was fuzzy when he made that but that last will was drafted only 9 months before so he was definitely in a sound mind. 2nd wife think it's unfair and spiteful.

The 1st wife, remarried with several children, said that she had closed that chapter of her life. She took the money but declined the letter. He wrote that he loved her and missed her all along. That he wish that that the affair had never happened and that 2st wife was the love of his life. 2nd wife read it and man the hell's gate got opened.

Do you think it's fair that he gave the 1st wife an equal share ? Given his condition that they only got married because he got his mistress pregnant, as a man i totally understand his feeling but on the other hand the 2nd wife was the one who stayed and put up with him for 30+ years and gave birth to his only child but still, he didn't love her, is that fair ? Is history not important to love, i mean 30+ years (!!), that's 30+ christmases 30+ new years, almost 70 birthdays, a childbirth, graduation, countless vacations and several grandchildren. That's a LOT. Is this guy being a jerk for his honesty ?
