In early 1926, Hadley Hemingway became aware of her husband Ernest Hemingway's affair with Pauline Pfeiffer, a close friend and fellow expatriate. This revelation came to light during their trip to Pamplona, Spain, in July of that year, where Pfeiffer joined them. Upon their return to Paris, the strain of the affair became unbearable for Hadley, leading her to request a separation. By November 1926, she formally filed for divorce. The couple went through the process of dividing their possessions, during which Hadley accepted Hemingway's offer of the proceeds from his novel, "The Sun Also Rises." Their divorce was finalized in January 1927, and shortly thereafter, Hemingway married Pfeiffer in May of the same year. This tumultuous period marked a significant turning point in Hemingway's personal life, influencing his writing and relationships in the years to come. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #Hemingway #HadleyHemingway #PaulinePfeiffer #Divorce #LiteraryHistory
