25 Nasty Divorces That’ll Make You Want to Stay Single Forever

Divorces can get ugly pretty fast. Then again, it is the end of a marriage and not a ticker tape parade. In most cases, there’s a winner and a loser and the winner will let everyone know exactly what went down in the court room.

But the process can be a nightmare, and the drama isn’t always limited to court. Some of the nastiest things people have done during divorces happened in between court hearings…

The Dog Ate the Mistress’ G-String

The Huffington Post shared a story of a seemingly happy couple who got very concerned when their dog stopped eating, going to the bathroom and started dry heaving. So, they took the dog to the vet, and it underwent emergency surgery to remove a bowel obstruction.

The vet found a red lacy G-string, which didn’t belong to the dog owner’s wife. And the only positive outcome out of this was that the dog was okay.

He Scammed Her

An anonymous woman submitted her own story of love and heartache to Business Insider with permission by Joseph A. Davis of Fit Divorce Planning.

She said, “In our less than seven-month marriage, my then-husband schemed and scammed between $60,000-100,000 from me.” But that wasn’t the only problem. “I’m about the fifth or sixth person he’s scammed, and I got out pretty quickly,” she added.

And while she got out in time, she was left with a ton of debt. “I’m trying to save my credit and make payments while hoping I’ll recoup some or any of my money through the legal system,” she added.

She Put Their Dog Down

A former Reddit user shared his story about the time he had separated from his wife before they filed for divorce. She had agreed to look after their dog while he found a new place to live. But in a devious act, she took the dog to the vet and had it put down!

She Filed a Restraining Order Against Him

Another man submitted his story to Business Insider of the time his then-wife filed a restraining order against him. She also had the locks changed, but he didn’t know. So, when he got home, she called the cops who arrested him for violating the order.

Turns out her lawyer told her to do that so he would get charged with a felony, which would guarantee she’d get custody of their kids under Tennessee law.
