59 Husbands Who Had So Much Audacity Their Wives Finally Filed For Divorce
Marriage vows cover a lot of ground. Sickness and health, richer or poorer, till the Grim Reaper tears us apart. What they leave out is the fine print about secretly emptying the joint account or deciding the family dog should go to a shelter without telling anyone. A lot of scorned women are flocking online to compare notes on the exact moment the vows stopped applying.
A few viral threads asked wives to share the thing that made them call a lawyer, and the answers go far beyond dirty socks on the floor. Some stories are the final straw after years of smaller ones. Others are the first and only straw, coming from an oblivious narcissist who thought their actions were completely fine. Grab a drink, and maybe call your mom afterward.

Our dogs got in a fight over food he left on his nightstand. I broke it up and one of their fangs snagged my arm and ripped it open.
The entire time I was at the er to get fixed up, he was on the phone with his mother, loudly saying that *my* dog should be put down, even though *his* dog was the one who went apes**t.
When he shoved his phone in my face so his mom could argue with me about it, the nurse kicked him out of the hospital, then turned to me and said I should love myself enough to know I didn't deserve to be in a relationship like that.

We were at a Fourth of July party at the park when g*nsh*ts suddenly started. I was there with him and our 8-month-old baby in the stroller, and we were in a very dangerous situation with people sh**ting around us. Instead of making sure I and our baby were safe, he ran away and left us behind without even looking back or checking on us. I was left alone to protect myself and our baby while there was active g*nfire around us.
Until 1970, a woman who wanted out of her marriage had to prove her husband had done something awful. In most US states, divorce required legal grounds, meaning a judge had to agree that someone was at fault, usually because of adultery or cruelty.
California ended that with what is widely seen as the country's first true no-fault divorce law, which took effect in January 1970 under Governor Ronald Reagan. The other states followed over the next four decades, and New York was the last in 2010. Today "we want different things" is enough to end a marriage anywhere in the country, and the women in this thread still came with receipts.

My ex husband and I had taken our boys to Disney. Crowded AF. I'm carrying our infant son while our oldest, who is on the spectrum and an eloper, takes off. I say "Hey grab him please". Obviously I had my hands full. He looks me in my face and says "Shut up b*tch”. I divorced him within 6 months. He came home to an empty house.
#6
My ex-husband encouraged me to take a girls’ trip. When I came back, the locks were changed, another woman had moved in, and he threatened to call ICE if I entered the house I paid for with all my belongings still inside. I had a work visa and was the provider. I had 2 days left on my work visa, and unbeknownst to me, he had also withdrawn his immigration petition for me. I lost my home, my marriage, and my legal path here almost overnight.
And the numbers say those receipts mostly belong to wives. Michael Rosenfeld, a sociologist at Stanford, analyzed a national survey of couples and found that women started 69% of divorces among heterosexual marriages. Unmarried couples ended their relationships at about the same rate as each other, so the gap only appeared once a ring was involved. Rosenfeld's reading was that marriage still tends to work out better for husbands than for wives, which gives wives more reason to walk.

The day after I gave birth to our son, 1 month early so baby was in the NICU, my husband drove across the country to go on a week long fishing trip. I had surgery while he was gone, which he knew about and still left. I was left alone freshly postpartum and fresh out of surgery to care for our medically fragile newborn. Fun times.

My ex-husband and I were talking all night and we heard the living room window shatter at about 4am. He jumped off the bed and hid in our closet. *I* went to check what happened because our 2 young children were asleep in their room across the hall from us and someone needed to protect them. Thankfully it was just the delivery person who accidentally threw our newspaper too hard. I divorced him immediately!!

I don't think that men always need to be blindly, stupidly brave or always aggressively throw themselves at potential intruders/muggers/attackers/etc., but parents of ANY gender should always step up to protect and defend their children. Hell, I'd throw hands at an intruder to protect my dog or my cats.

I was in the hospital and had been for over a week and my ex came to see me with my daughter and he hadn't said he missed me so I was reaching for the comfort and asked "did you guys miss me" in a cute tone to him and my daughter and he said "we miss eating" I left him when I left the hospital.
Researchers at the University of Denver asked divorced Americans to name the reasons their marriages ended. Roughly three quarters pointed to a lack of commitment, and more than half named too much conflict or infidelity. About one in four cited domestic violence. Most people gave several reasons at once, so a long list of smaller problems usually sits behind the one dramatic event that gets retold at dinner parties.

We were in Kenya visiting his father and he kept setting me up to have an "accident". First incident he took me snorkeling for my first ever time to a reef when the tide was coming in. I didn't know how to clear my mask or snorkel and kept getting hit by waves so I couldn't breathe. I literally began blacking out and lost control of my body, I began thinking "it's going to be so expensive to get my body back to the US". I would've drowned if a nearby boatman hadn't been watching and he came over and pulled me from the water into his boat. My ex was nowhere to be seen and didn't find me for another 20-30 minutes later in the boat. He later took me on a crocodile safari and got out of the boat trying to scare a large croc out of some bushes, if he had been successful, the crocodile would've capsized our boat into heavily infested waters. When that didn't work he had me pose for a photo by a hippo pool a couple weeks later in Masai Mara and he "lost" his footing and fell into me. If I had toppled backwards I would've fallen into the hippo pool, but I happened to fall forward. I filed for divorce a week after we got home and moved out.

We didn’t get divorced but we were engaged. While we were planning our wedding, specifically the entrance to the reception, he was pitching to me what could only be described as flash dance with his best friends to the hustlers anthem. Like, the first time walking into the room as husband and wife and I wasn’t even a thought. And when I pointed it out he said “well you need a groom to have the wedding, so good luck planning your dream wedding without me.” And I did. And I have never made a better decision in my life.

I left a guy because he didn’t check on me after a tornado touched down by my workplace. I’m married to the man that actually did.
Money is a repeat offender. Jeffrey Dew, a family researcher at Utah State University, found in a 2012 study that couples who argued about finances weekly were over 30% more likely to divorce than couples who argued about it a few times a month.
Then there is financial infidelity, the term for secret accounts, hidden debt, and purchases nobody was told about. Surveys from the National Endowment for Financial Education suggest roughly four in ten adults who share finances with a partner have kept some kind of money secret. A husband who quietly drains the joint account is doing something very common, and very expensive.

One time my ex and I went to a popular waterfall spot. As we were crossing the river, I slipped and started to get dragged down the river. I turned to look back at him and yelled “Help!” He just waved at me. I was dragged across several rocks and ended up with road rash across the entire lower half of my body. When I asked him why he waved, he said “What the f*** did you want me to do, jump in and save you?” Yes! We are divorced because he cheated on me with one of his high school students.

I caught him having an affair, and his response was to tell me I should be thankful he hadn't kicked me out to move her in, and if I wanted to keep my comfy life I'd just look the other way (I was a SAHM to HIS two kids).
I started packing my stuff and was out in two days. Last thing he said to me before I left was that I was: "Too stupid to make it without him, and he gave me a month before I came crawling back begging for another chance." Anyways, that was 16 years ago, I'm happily married to an amazing man, have a successful career, and a wonderful son.
My ex? He lost everything (including his job, the mistress, the house, his kids etc) a year after I left. Sweet, sweet, karma.
#15
I had just given birth. I hadn't eaten in 37 hours. He slept at home while I was in the hospital all night. He was there for the birth the next day, and my mom brought us burgers so I could finally eat. He sat and ate while I held our baby. I asked if he could bring me my burger so I could take a bite, and he sighed like he was super annoyed and put the burger on the table next to the hospital bed. I was really nervous to hold the baby with one arm (brand new mom, not used to juggling everything yet) so I asked if he could hold it up so I could take a bite. He snapped at me that he just wanted to relax because HE WAS TIRED.
The daily workload is another source of friction. In 1989 sociologist Arlie Hochschild published The Second Shift, based on years spent observing working couples. She calculated that women with full-time jobs did about an extra month of 24-hour days of housework and childcare every year compared with their husbands. Plenty of wives in threads like this one describe the same arrangement: two people with jobs, and only one of them managing the household. The husband usually considers this fine because he has never had to count the hours.

We were 21 and 22, I had just had a baby 5 months before, we went swimming with friends. He picked me up out of the water, threw me over his shoulder and pulled the back of my bottoms down in front of everyone and laughed about it. He was the only one laughing. I’m talking women, men, and children present.
#17
Was having a miscarriage around 11ish weeks and asked my ex if he could just be there for me emotionally/physically and he said he couldn’t because he had his own stuff to worry about. I cried and bled in the bathroom alone while he sat on the couch and presumably played games.
#18
Dropped two cups of boiling hot tea on myself in a cafe and he continued with his phone call conversation. People came running to ask me if I was alright, divorce is pending.
Communication breakdowns follow a similar pattern. John Gottman, the researcher famous for predicting divorce from couples' arguments, reports that about 85% of stonewallers are men. Stonewalling means shutting down mid-argument by going silent, leaving the room, or answering in grunts. Gottman's lab measured heart rates and found that stonewallers are often overwhelmed, with pulses above 100 beats per minute, and shutting down is their attempt to calm down. That explains the behavior, but it does nothing for the wife still standing in the kitchen waiting for an answer.

After my second was born I was struggling with ppd and baby’s sleep schedule was off. He was awake all night for months. I was exhausted. One night was especially bad when he woke up multiple times and I was sobbing for help and had the audacity to ask him to get up with the baby at 4 am so I could sleep. His response was ‘I can’t I have to work tomorrow’ that was the nail in the coffin. It took me 3 years to get the pieces together and to be financially stable enough to leave but I did in 2018. I just remarried the love of my life. I’m so happy.

He cracked my back for me… It’s was so good I was still for a moment. He immediately started getting his s**t to leave. When asked why it was because he thought he k****d me. His first instinct was to LEAVE.
Some entries in this kind of thread go far beyond bad habits. The CDC's national survey on intimate partner violence estimates that about one in four US women has experienced severe physical violence from a partner at some point in her life. Control can also happen without any violence. Sociologist Evan Stark coined the term "coercive control" in 2007 for a pattern of monitoring, isolating, and restricting a partner's money and movements. England and Wales made it a crime in 2015, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

We were at a wedding. I couldn’t find my purse. He was talking to someone and I asked him did you see my purse. He said ya, it’s over there. When I walked away I heard him say that should keep her busy.

my ex husband did many worse things but one that always sticks with me is during my pregnancy I was extremely ill the entire time throwing up. one night I jumped out of bed and was throwing up in a bucket on the floor by the door. he got out of bed, stepped over my vomiting body, filled a glass with water and drank it then got back into bed and turned the light off on me.
i thought the water was going to be for me.

He got mad at me because I was in pain from the medicine wearing off after emergency wisdom tooth removal. Something about being in pain and having the person who is supposed to love and care for you treat you terribly just feels difference. Its a different kind of evil because you are vunerable. My current person made soup for my mom when she was sick when we weren’t even officially dating!
So when do these women finally file? Julie Brines and Brian Serafini at the University of Washington studied divorce filings in Washington State from 2001 to 2015 and found two spikes every year, in March and August. Their explanation was that couples hold out through the winter holidays and the summer vacation, hoping for a fresh start, and file once the season is over.
Afterward, most people do better than they expected. Psychologist E. Mavis Hetherington followed about 1,400 families for 30 years and found that most divorced adults adjusted within a few years, and many came out more confident than before. The First Wives Club put it more bluntly in 1996: "Don't get mad, get everything."

I had a boyfriend who worked in the same office as me and one time the fire alarm went off (not a drill) and he literally ran past me, didn’t acknowledge me after looking right at me, wiggled his way infront of a bunch of other people (including older) people and ran down the stairwell. This was the most ick inducing F you I’ve ever seen. I knew so badly in that moment what i was dealing with.

night after my hysterectomy, my ex husband decided he was going to sleep in the back bedroom and leave me alone, fresh from surgery. I was also on blood thinners due to clotting disorder. he left me alone that night without water, without pain meds, without anything. I crawled to the kitchen on my hands and knees to get my meds. slept at the kitchen table. he didn't check on me all night. came out around 9 am.
Binky Melnik 12 hours ago
I can see leaving someone alone after surgery (I’ve mostly wanted to be alone in my misery, and didn’t feel chatty or like doing anything besides sleeping or reading mindlessly), but at least people OFFERED to be there for me, and checked on me, and brought me things to eat and drink! This guy doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and I’m confident he watched poorn and jerked off in the back bedroom. Whatta selfish jerk.

I was 36 weeks pregnant with our 2nd child. Husband knew I had an OB appointment that day. Dr. checked me and I was 5 cm dilated and was convinced that I would have the baby in the next 24 hours. I tried calling my husband 5 times to let him know. He didn't answer and never called me back to make sure I wasn't having the baby! He came home from work 5 hours later and seemed annoyed that I was so hurt by his behavior. We are no longer married.

This reminds me of when I finally made the decision to divorce.. the final straw was when hurricane Maria came to Florida.. I was so scared, preparing my home, taking our dogs to shelters, trying to decide to evacuate or not.. I had a baby. I really thought I was going to lose my home.. as I was packing our stuff, my babies stuff, making sure everything in the home secured.. the only thing he was worry about and the only thing he grabbed as we were leaving to the shelter was his TV and his PlayStation!!!!! I looked around.. all my neighbors.. men.. were taking their wives and kids out to safe, their were all working making sure their houses were prepared for impact, they were helping others … and my loser husband was worry about a PlayStation!!! It was so embarrassing!! … after there experience I finally filed for divorce.. I just couldn’t deal with that Pete Pan anymore!! Best decision ever!!!

Binky Melnik 12 hours ago
When I had my tubes tied, the pain the next day was UNBELIEVABLE. The doctor said it was because they filled me up with gas to see the tubes, and that the gas would dissipate and I’d feel better. Doorbell rang, and I was unreasonably angry because of the pain, and crawled to my front door. It was a man delivering “get-well flowers,” and I snarled at him that he was getting no tip. I wish I could go back in time and apologize and tip him; none of it was his fault, and I’m ashamed of the way I acted. 😞

I was sharing how devastating it still is that my sister was m******d by a serial k**ler years prior and the damage it did to my family. My ex said, "You just need to get over it". Needless to say, I immediately 'just got over' him!

Not nearly as devastating as OP's situation, but I remember a similar time when I had to euthanize my nearly-20-year-old gray cat, Wintressia. She'd been my best buddy since she was 8 weeks old. I held her in my arms as the vet euthanized her and I was sobbing. I was a wreck and couldn't let her body go for a little while. The vet understood and let me have all the time I needed. As we were finally leaving the vet's office, I was still crying, and my boyfriend (now ex) said to me "Why are you still so upset? You KNEW she was old, you KNEW this was coming, you KNEW she was going to díe." Wintressia díed in 2018, but I was a moron and still stayed with him for another 6 years.

My ex husband claimed he was a “bad boy” and all that jazz and then one night something came crashing down in our house and instead of grabbing his bad boy pewpew to go see what was happening; I thought we were being robbed, he grabbed the covers and slid under them shaking.
I grabbed a baseball bat and went and investigated myself. A picture fell off the wall and crashed the stuff on the table under it. I cleaned it up. He was still in bed. Didn’t come out once to ask what it was. I left him shortly after this. This was just the straw moment. Many things like this had happened.

The hospital called in a social worker and tried ordering an uber for me home (45 mins away).

Where on earth do women find these people?! The nicest thing my mom ever said to me was that she didn’t need to worry about me because I attracted good, kind people, and I thought about it and she was right. Yeah, sure, bad people try to talk to me, but I don’t give ‘em the time of day. I thought perhaps they’re people-pleasers, too, but I’m one of the worst and I’ve *never* gotten a dud. I’m having a hard time believing these folks all have totally rotten luck, but … Oh, c**p. It’s an article about bad men, so OBVIOUSLY no one’s posting about good ones!

My ex had his daughter over for the weekend, on Saturday night we woke up to all our fire alarms screaming. He grabbed his phone, put his trainers and jacket on and grabbed his motorbike keys and ran outside. I grabbed his not even 2 year old daughter, her winter sleep suit a blanket and his dog. I was still in my shorts and Tshirt. No shoes, nothing. It was minus 7 Celsius (19 Fahrenheit) thankfully our home want on fire but it filled with smoke. It was the neighbour downstairs. He fell asleep drunk and burnt his kitchen down. I had to phone for the fire brigade too, while consoling his daughter. It took hours to air the house out of smoke, it stank for weeks afterwards. I never looked at him the same after that.

Mine was, on our first date, we were playing chasing each other in a park at night. And i had this gut wrenching feeling to look back while running. His smile and eyes were not it, they looked predatory. Idk man my heart was sinking and i just kept running faster and hid somewhere. He kept calling saying "come out baby girl" something along those lines. I didn't come out till dawn. I asked some passing stranger to call a cab to my mom's house and ghosted him. 3 months later i found out he was arrested for m****r and sa. I'll never forget that day, it made me never doubt my intuition.

It's truly disgusting just how many of these are women being abandoned and otherwise let down by their jerk of a husband while pregnant with, delivering or nursing his child. Like you made that kid too, you a$$hole. I'm glad to be one of the lucky ones - not as a wife or mother (I'm neither) but as a woman who knows that when my mother was in labour my father was there holding her hand the entire time and that he stayed and did his job as a parent for my entire childhood.

Relationships in general are, according to research, more beneficial to men than to women. After all, it's the women who often maintain the support network of family and friends, they are the ones who do the physical and mental labour and being single offers more time and possibility for their own personal pursuits without being told 'they are selfish'. All this c**p about a 'male loneliness epidemic' just tells me that out there there are a lot of men who are even less socially developed than Neanderthals, because they took care of their sick and elderly.
