"More than four in 10 marriages in South Africa end in divorce before couples get to celebrate their 10-year anniversaries" - that was the shocking statistic published by IOL back in August 2018. 

Divorce has been around since the dawn of time, so it's not unusual when a couple decides to call it quits, but we have probably found the most bizarre reason for a couple to divorce.

Indian Express has reported that a woman has filed for divorce after feeling that she was being suffocated with 'extreme love'. The adoration and gifts were just too much for her - so much so that she had to find a way out. 

"I long for one day of dispute, but this seems impossible with my romantic husband who always forgave me and showered me with gifts. I need a real discussion, even an argument, not this hassle-free life of obedience,” she said.

It was published that the husband pleaded with the judge to adjourn the matter to give them time to work through it all. The couple were only married for a year when the divorce was filed.

If you thought that reason for divorce was strange, Marie Claire put a list of the weird things that people have gotten a divorce over - and some of them are just plain ridiculous. See part of that list below:

  • "Because he voted for Trump"
  • "Because he didn't like the movie, 'Frozen'"
  • "Because he left dishes in the sink" - A popular issue amongst couples 
  • "Because he didn't text back"
  • "Because he refused to shower" - That's just disgusting!
