divorce

Love is a dangerous chemical. It drives people to absolute insanity. Rationality has a tendency to be tossed right out the window when you find yourself blinded by those fiercely euphoric rose-colored glasses, and willing to do pretty much everything to keep the love alive. And then oh boy, when that very love runs its natural course, things flicker out, and then the other feelings start to bubble to the surface. That's when the pettiness can really come out to play. So, it's no wonder that lawyers end up encountering some wildly petty scenarios between ex lovers that decided to call it quits. 

Love already inspires people to do some truly crazy stuff, but when you factor in what can happen when a once loving relationship runs its course, and divorce ends up being the outcome....oh boy, can things get hairy very quickly. Some folks that have weathered the profound emotional toll that can be muddling through a divorce, just end up completely losing their minds. You can only hope that people don't ultimately take things too far, but that can't necessarily be said for some of the people in this thread. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the worst and most profoundly awkward things that people have let slip during otherwise mundane conversations. Unfortunately, we've all been there at some level. Hopefully, these honest insights from folks that endured gnarly brain farts make you feel better about your most harrowing conversations. 

At least they found love! What a fun little rollercoaster. For a second there it looked like there might've been some cheating going on. 

Someone on AskReddit got a wild thread going about the most ridiculous reasons that people ever filed for divorce. Love drives people to do some crazy things, and if that love ever burns out, things can escalate very quickly. 

Every once in a while a divorce attorney hears a real stupid reason for a couple wanting to get a divorce. Sometimes there's a straw that breaks the camel's back, sometimes someone is extremely petty, and other times someone is trying to cook up a legal scheme that would never actually work.

While this husband's birthday surprise absolutely erred on the side of fail, it seems like there was a bit more at play than just the surprise for these two lovebirds. Sounds like tensions were already rising for the two, and that him "forgetting" his wife's birthday was the straw that broke the camel's back. Fortunately, the situation gets calmed down, and it sounds like the two are working on ironing out their struggles. 

If there's one thing that these hilarious and unfiltered tweets about marriage prove, it's that the experience is just like an emotional rollercoaster. You have the good days and the bad days, and will continually be tested by that partner as you navigate life together. 

When a relationship sours between the two wrong people, almost nothing can stop the tide of vengeful petty BS that they're capable of putting each other through. Even when it's not over a divorce, people can get amazingly petty for the sake of revenge. It's not surprise that lawyers get some interesting stories out of disputes between people.

When this husband discovered that his wife was out running around on him, he decided to craft and execute a brutal pro revenge. One can only imagine what it was like for the hotel staff when that was going down. Must've been a full public freakout. 

Never underestimate the heights of pettiness that can be achieved between two people going through a divorce. These AskReddit replies in a thread about the stupidest reasons people wanted to divorce, might convince you to never want to get married. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their experiences with remarrying their ex spouses. Love can be a strange and confusing beast, and some people have a real hard time leaving someone behind. Sometimes, it really does end up working out when people get remarried!

Someone on AskReddit asked for doctors and nurses to share their experiences with encountering couples that realized the kid was not the father's. Talk about a full-fledged nightmare situation. There's not really any coming back from that. The sobering moment of realization has got to be the living definition of soul-crushing. Can't even imagine. 

This dad asked the folks of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for admitting during a marriage counseling session, that he regretted having kids. This confession comes with a statement from him, saying that he loved the hell out of them, but in hindsight realized that the whole parenting/marriage situation wasn't for him. To make matters more grim and complicated, his wife proceeded to tell their six-year-old about what he said. Ouch. 

This guy shared a gnarly story of an experience that nobody wants to find themselves living down. Sounds like he was giving a co-worker a hard time, and it turned out said co-worker was busy muddling through a divorce. Just goes to serve as a cautionary tale that you never know what someone's going through. Gotta be careful out there!
