(#1) He Repeatedly Tried To Exorcise Her
From Redditor /u/queequeg789:
Failed exorcisms. Client had an inner-ear condition that caused chronic vertigo, but symptoms could be treated with medication. Husband was an Evangelical who was convinced his wife 1) had become possessed and that her vertigo and general crankiness with his methods were evidence of demonic possession, 2) the medications she was taking [were] enabling the Devil to hide inside her, and 3) 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. [These] included:
- Sweating it out (put under blankets while incapacitated and locked in a room full of space heater)
- Freezing it out (pretty much the reverse with AC, fans, and bags of ice)
- Surprising it out (he would jump out and scare her like it was the hiccups, but instead of yelling "Boo!", he would recite the Lord’s Prayer or Psalms)
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.
Note: this guy was some type of executive, and they still went out to dinner after the stairs incident. She asked for the divorce at an Applebee’s that night. I have often tried to picture that conversation, as she was adamant that he was a total sweetheart and never acted out of malice or anger.

(#2) He Refused To Pay Her Ransom
From Redditor /u/mennej:
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. It is not outrageous as in petty but outrageous as [in] how absurd that is.

(#3) They Learned 'Trial Marriage' Wasn't A Thing
From Redditor /u/Aths:
One couple... returned six months [after their union] to "confirm" the wedding and end their trial marriage. When [they were] informed that there was no such thing and that they had been married for six months, they subsequently broke up.

(#4) She Played Too Much Bingo
From Redditor /u/DRAGONPUTZ:
Paralegal here. Still remember an early case I worked on - man divorced his wife for her Bingo [dependency]. 10 to 12 times per week, she went to bingo. She was 82, he was 86.

(#8) He Wrongfully Admitted Her To An Assisted Living Center
From Redditor /u/cpearc00:
My client put his wife in an assisted living facility based on a misdiagnosis, the medication of which caused the wife to be unable to care for herself. While in the facility, my client - shocker - started dating another woman and methinks began using hard [substances]. He used a loooot of money on both of these things. She eventually got off the medication and got better. Suffice to say, she was not happy about what had transpired.

(#9) He Wasn't The Ideal '70s Man
From Redditor /u/Bodhi_ZA:
[One client] wanted to divorce her husband for two reasons:
- He did not have enough hair on his chest.
- He did not drive fast enough.
Keep in mind, this was in the '70s when chest hair was a bit more important.
-
(#10) She Used A Nightlight
From Redditor /u/yeerk_slayer:
[He] divorced his wife of two months because she would sleep with a nightlight, but he could only sleep in total darkness. They apparently never lived together until after getting married. He hated her nightlight so much that he would often sleep on the couch instead, but sometimes he would claim the bed for himself and lock her out of the bedroom for the night.

(#12) He Fed The Dog Too Much
From Redditor /u/Bing-Wallace:
I worked as a paralegal for a divorce lawyer. Case analysis was one of my main responsibilities.
I sh*t you not.
A recently married couple (of two years) broke it off because the husband would not stop feeding the dog. The dog got outrageously fat.
Apparently, she saw [a] connection between the dog and future children.

(#13) Neither Of Them Wanted The Kids

Colleague handled a case where money was not an issue, but the kids were. Neither parent wanted them.
-
(#14) He Got Too Drunk At The Wedding
From Redditor /u/Freevoulous:
He got drunk at the wedding. She did not like it and decided to divorce him right after the honeymoon (which she went [on] without him).
Moreover, this was all an elaborate scheme of divorce robbery, because the guy was loaded, and so was his entire family...
They were loaded because they were a family of EXCELLENT lawyers, and he was a third-generation lawyer, with all the smarts and experience of his predecessors combined.
Let's just say it did not go well for her.
