12 Odd Reasons to Get a Divorce
Some of these things are really ridiculous.
When I’m writing I generally have the TV playing. Often times I’m listening to news items or old biographies or documentaries. One thing I’ve noticed is how celebrities’ divorces are broached. I hear stuff like conflicting schedules, health issues, or even bizarre stuff like, “We loved each other too much. We expressed that love through mutual assault.” Well, I decided to do some research on strange reasons people get a divorce. here is some of what I came up with:
1: You are a doctor.
Whoops, sorry. I looked at that wrong. The real reason is you like to play doctor. Wait a minute, being told that’s not on the list either. Well, it should be.
2: Your first child is a girl.
This is known as the Henry VIII syndrome. Hold on, being told there is no such thing, but that first child being a daughter thing is true.
3: You’re not morbidly obese.
The weight group with the lowest divorce rate is that where both marriage mates weigh over 250 pounds. This according to those famous marriage counselors, Ben and Jerry.
