The Secret of a Successful Marriage: Trophy Wife!

Posted by Alex in Odd News on October 26, 2009 at 12:51 pm

Researchers have finally unlocked the secret of a happy marriage: trophy wife!

No, seriously. The study found that marrying smarter and younger women results in less fewer divorces and greater marriage bliss:

The researchers studied interviews of more than 1,500 couples who were married or in a serious relationship. Five years later, they followed up 1,000 of the couples to see which had lasted.

They found that if the wife was five or more years older than her husband, they were more than three times as likely to divorce than if they were the same age.

If the age gap is reversed, and the man is older than the woman, the odds of marital bliss are higher.

Taking Too Long in the Bathroom? Get a Divorce!

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on July 5, 2009 at 3:03 am

You know the honeymoon is over when this happened: when the husband found out that his new wife took too long in the airport restroom, he decided to get on the plane without her!

The woman in question, a teacher, had gone to use the facilities at the airport before boarding a flight back in Saudi Arabia.

Quite how long she stayed in the toilet remains unclear. What is certain is she emerged to discover her husband had vanished without trace. The woman, who had paid for the holiday, began a desperate search of the airport and grew increasingly concerned that something terrible had happened to him. [...]

When he arrived at his destination, he calmly told relatives his new wife was still in Malaysia. His bride was not so calm about his behaviour. She has demanded an immediate divorce.

World's First Divorce by Facebook

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on February 5, 2009 at 9:19 pm

It’s bound to happen, folks! Here is … the world’s first divorce by Facebook:

Millions of people use it every day to pass on harmless snippets of gossip to friends and family. But the message Emma Brady’s husband posted on Facebook could not have been more devastating.

It read: ‘Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady.’

Mrs Brady, a 35-year-old conference organiser, claims she had no idea he even wanted a divorce, and only found out when a friend, who read the post on the social networking website, rang to console her.

To make matters worse, she discovered someone else had commented on the site that her husband was ‘better off out of it’.

Man Wants Donated Kidney Back

Posted by Miss Cellania in Medicine, Money & Finance on January 8, 2009 at 11:46 pm

As part of their divorce settlement, a doctor in New York state is requesting the return of a kidney he donated to his wife in 2001!

The doctor claims his wife began having an affair sometime after the transplant.

“We were in a million-dollar home, I was a full-time surgeon, full-time father and a dedicated husband. And I saved her life, and there’s nothing bad about what I did, I’d do it again. But the pain is unbearable,” the doctor said.

The unnamed doctor will, however, settle for $1.5 million. Link -Thanks, Gigi1!

Update: Here’s a link with more information on the story.
