1. The Uncaring Wife
   I got very sick, and my blood pressure went up to 200. I was scared I might have a stroke and asked my wife to call an ambulance. She called, but she laughed and said, “All men act like they’re dying when they have a small fever.”

The paramedics came and made fun of me, saying it was no big deal. My wife joined in, calling me dramatic. That’s when I realized I couldn’t count on her when I needed help the most. I decided to get a divorce and never regretted it.

2. The Fake Father
   A guy I know gave his wife amazing gifts after each child was born: a car for the first, a country house for the twins, and another car for the youngest.

But six months later, he kicked his wife and four kids out of the house. He took back all the gifts because DNA tests showed he wasn’t the father of any of the children.

3. The Selfish Husband
   In April, I told my husband we needed to buy shoes for our son. Instead, he came home with an expensive watch, which he had borrowed money to buy. He claimed it was my gift to him for our anniversary but didn’t plan to get me anything because we were broke.

I couldn’t take it anymore. Our relationship kept getting worse, and I filed for divorce in July. After he was gone, I felt much more financially stable.

4. The Wedding Drama
   On our wedding day, my mother-in-law refused to sit at the top table with my husband and me. She stayed at her table, passive-aggressively complaining that my husband was her favorite child and hinting that I was the reason she wasn’t up front. That was the final straw for my husband. We’ve had no contact with her since, except for two brief meetings with her and her other grandchildren.
5. The Cold Husband
   When I heard from my mom that my grandfather had passed away, I started crying and told my husband. He glanced away from his computer for a second and said, “So what, he was old,” before turning back to his game and inviting his friends to play another round.

For the past two years, our marriage had been the same — he spent all his time at the computer and ignored me. He would come home, go straight to his computer, and only then take off his shoes and jacket. He even ate, drank, and slept separately from me.

That moment made me realize I’d had enough. Later that night, I told him I wanted a divorce. A week later, I moved to a new apartment and ignored all his attempts to reconcile. I’ve never regretted leaving him.

6. The Unsupportive Husband
   I had gynecologic surgery in my home country because finding a good doctor in Japan is difficult. I had to quit my job and stay in the hospital for a while.

After the surgery, I flew back to Japan and asked my husband to meet me at the airport since I couldn’t lift my suitcase. He didn’t show up. I couldn’t afford a taxi because I hadn’t worked for three months, so I took the train home. When I arrived, there was no food, and my husband expected me to cook.

On top of that, he demanded I pay my half of the rent and bills for the three months I wasn’t even there. It turned out he had quit his job and racked up debts. Carrying the suitcase myself left me in pain and with a fever for a month. Once I recovered, I filed for divorce. I don’t regret it one bit.

7. The Selfish Boyfriend
   My boyfriend moved into the flat I was renting. We agreed to a joint budget since we planned to marry. We saved 80% of his salary for our future home, while 80% of mine went to rent, food, and bills.

I handled all the housework, including cooking his favorite meals and washing his shirts daily. Even when I was upset about his wasteful habits, I stayed quiet.

But one day, I got sick and had a fever. He came home from work and got angry because there was no dinner ready. That was the last straw. I told him to leave, and he moved out, taking the savings we had accumulated over 1.5 years since it came from his salary.

8. The Controlling Husband
   My husband was extremely jealous and forbade me from even greeting male neighbors, accusing me of having affairs. After our son was born, he became picky about food, yelling at me for serving it too hot or too cold.

The final straw came when I served him dumplings, and he threw the plate and food into the trash. I realized I was done. For my baby’s sake, I filed for divorce. When my ex begged me to stay, I asked why he treated me so badly. He simply replied, “Because you let me.”

9. The Dangerous Mother-in-Law
   My husband and I have two children and come from very different backgrounds. His mother always believed I was after his money.

A month ago, she invited us over for dinner. During the meal, my son complained about something sharp in his food. It turned out to be glass shards in the salad she served us.

We cut contact with her immediately. She later said my children and I didn’t deserve her son.

10. The Lazy Husband
    We took out a mortgage to buy a flat that needed renovations. While living with his family in cramped conditions, I worked hard and paid the mortgage.

My elderly father did the renovations after work, but my husband refused to help and spent his time playing online games. When I spoke about moving into our flat, he said, “Why move? Everything’s fine as it is.” That was the last straw. I divorced him.

11. The Absent Husband
    For six months, my husband came home late and spent weekends away, claiming he was busy with work. He repeatedly broke promises to spend time with our kids.

The last straw came when our youngest daughter cried because he worked late on his day off, despite promising to play with her. I told him he could leave, and he did. Later, I learned his “overtime” was actually an affair.

12. The Controlling Boyfriend
    I dated my boyfriend for 10 years before he proposed in a fit of anger, throwing the ring at me. We got married, but he changed drastically. He forbade me from seeing my friends and criticized my life.

The final straw came when he made us move to a neighborhood with no public transport. I had to walk three miles to work every day. When winter came, my boots broke, and I asked for money to buy new ones. He refused, saying I needed to earn it myself. My mother bought me boots, and I filed for divorce the same day.

13. The Chronic Cheater
    My ex-husband cheated on me for 8 out of the 12 years we were together. I found out about his affairs after our divorce, including calls from some of the women.

Despite his behavior, he blamed me for the divorce, claiming I ruined the family by filing for alimony and kicking him out.

14. The Careless Husband
    One morning, I woke up with a fever and asked my husband to get medicine. He turned over, saying he wanted to sleep. Hours later, he drank coffee and played games without offering to help.

His mother eventually brought medicine home. That was the last straw. I divorced him and moved on.

15. The Vanishing Girlfriend
    I planned to propose to my girlfriend at the stadium where we first met. I bought a ring and tickets for the same seats.

However, we had a fight that day. She left during the game and never returned. I called her 30 times and searched for her, worried something had happened. It turned out she went home to watch an episode of House. I ended the relationship that day.

16. The Paranoid Husband
    One day, my husband jokingly asked our 3-year-old son if any men visited while he was at work. The child innocently replied, “Yes, a man in a suit comes.”

This sparked a massive fight. He refused to believe me when I explained it was just our plumber. We divorced, and life became so much better without his paranoia and reckless spending.
