An elderly woman from California, US, has left her husband after feeling betrayed by his decision to support Donald Trump during the presidential elections.

Gayle McCormick, 73, who describes herself as a “Democrat leaning toward socialist”, says that she always knew that her husband of 22 years leaned right politically, but still felt “betrayed” when he casually mentioned that he was going to vote for Donald Trump during lunch with some friends.

According to her, that made her to re-evaluate her marriage after over two decades with the man whose identity was not revealed, The Independent reports.

“It totally undid me that he could vote for Trump,” McCormick said. “I felt like I had been fooling myself, it opened up areas between us I had not faced before. I realised how far I had gone in my life to accept things I would have never accepted when I was younger.”
