WHY DID YOU GET DIVORCED?
(July, 2019) AskReddit asked divorce lawyers the question, “what’s the most outrageous reason someone filed for divorce?” Here are some of the responses:
– Was a loud chewer at the dinner table. He couldn’t bear to eat with her.
– Taught the parakeet certain cuss words for his wife. The parrot lives with the man now.
– Man divorced his wife for her Bingo Addiction. 10 to 12 times per week she went to bingo. She was 82, he was 86.
– Two 20 somethings, they were irreconcilable because he kept smoking her weed stash when she wasn’t home.
– Woman wanted to divorce her husband for 2 reasons: He did not have enough hair on his chest, and he did not drive fast enough.
– He said he “didn’t like her anymore” – 2 days after being married.
– Because the husband would not stop feeding the dog. The dog got outrageously fat, and she saw connection between the dog and future children.
– He had an argument with the new inlaws during the wedding and moved out at around 5 am during the first night.
– Because she legit hated Dale Earnhardt and he legit hated Jeff Gordon.
– Guy divorced his wife of 2 months because she would sleep with a nightlight but he could only sleep in total darkness, and they apparently never lived together until after getting married.
– “Shortly after we got married he decided he didn’t like the way I talked, and asked me not to talk when we were out in company unless I ‘could talk straight.'”
– Because his mother, whom they lived with, still coddled him at age 40. She would walk straight into their room after his shower and powder his back for him. They couldn’t lock their bedroom door because his mother would come in when she wanted. If they locked the door, she would knock repeatedly asking what they were doing.
– Client had an inner ear condition that caused chronic vertigo, but symptoms could be treated with medication. The husband was an evangelical who was convinced that her vertigo was evidence of demonic possession. He believed the only proper recourse was to try various methods of exorcism. He would hide her meds until she got dizzy and then try various methods of exorcism, including jumping out and scaring her. The final straw was that he tried to ‘surprise it out of her’ by pushing her down the stairs when they were heading out for dinner.
– He had OCD which manifested primarily financially, so he made their lives a penny-pinching hell. Examples: He cut the whole family’s hair at home, never let them eat at a restaurant or go to the movies. He kept one toilet paper roll on him at all times and you had to get one square from him before you could go to the bathroom. He never gave more than one square. Wife finally got fed up and left him when 1) he gave her bangs during an in-home haircut and 2) their daughter was so traumatized by the toilet paper thing they couldn’t potty train her.
– She was kidnapped in Mexico and he refused to pay ransom. Eventually her family managed to pay and she was left on the side of the road.

* There real question here is, Whatever made you decide to get married in the first place?
