(Serious) redditors who got divorced less than a month after the wedding, what happened?


  1. Immediately after getting legally married, he became crazily possessive and physically abusive. He wouldn't let me out of his sight, wouldn't let me talk to anyone, work, leave the house, said that as his wife I was basically his property, etc. Then he started saying he wanted to have a kid ASAP. I got the fuck out as soon as the first opportunity presented itself.

  3. She decided she wanted a baby. I decided to wait because the wedding wasn't even paid off yet and we were in heaps of debt. She insisted. I insisted and my dick decided to take a few weeks off. Feeling very, very rejected and angry, she spent our honeymoon money on hotel rooms to have sex with her coworker. They have two kids now.

  4. I'll answer for a friend of mine who doesn't have Reddit. This girl was an ex that he had been in love with for *years*, even though she cheated on him and used him for his money. Anyway, she came crawling back to him and they were married within the first month of her being back in his life. Super dumb, I agree, but it wasn't my choice though I shared how stupid I thought it was. Well, the first two weeks of them being married she managed to spend *sixty thousand dollars* of his money. I asked, "Did you get a prenup?", he said no. I laughed and said, "She's going to cheat on you again and take your money." Absolutely insensitive on my part, I agree 100%, it was a dick move. He stopped talking to me for a week, then called me to hang out. He caught her cheating, again, with the *same dude she cheated with before*. I can proudly say I didn't drop an I told you so, instead I advised he get it annulled immediately so she can't go after any of his savings, investments, or assets. So there it is. Bonus story, when he took back everything he bought or that was in his name, she broke it first. 10/10 classy broad.

  7. I met back up with an old girlfriend from high school bout 10 years after we broke up and hit it off, she left her partner for me and we were “happy families”. About a year later she got pregnant and was suggesting we start thinking about marriage etc. I was hesitant as I didn’t want to rush anything but in general we were still very much in love and eventually we tied the knot, well as soon as we got married the relationship declined fast, she seemed distant and not interested and she was talking to one of her guy friends more often which was sus to me. In the end we split and she hooked up with him no surprise, but then she did the same thing to him so it seems like a pattern for her, 10 years later and we are are good terms and our son is happy and all g.

  8. I got a job in another country, to start 9 months later and at the time we were thinking of getting back together. We decided to enjoy our time together (we had regrets about our first go round and at least wanted to enjoy eachother's company before I left) and continue with a relationship. During those months we traveled together and became a lot closer, including one long 2 month trip. As the date for me to leave neared we panicked and found our only option was to get married. We fought for months to make our way through multiple bureaucracies. On a break from work I flew to meet her in a third country and we got married there. Then a couple of months later we had her visa and she was with me in our new country. Not exactly your question but it was about a month and a half after she arrived, that she left. What happened? I don't know. I wasn't ready to be married. She wasn't ready to be a partner. in the grander sense of career and planning and whatnot. Mostly though I think it was just an impossible situation. From my perspective I was exhausted from planning everything. She let me imbibe my worst tendencies towards laziness, when I had imagined we would go do things together (it's hard to be motivated to go out when it doesn't seem like the other person really wants to). Whereas before the 'what if' question ate me up inside, after I realized these problems weren't going away it was a pretty quick and easy decision for her to go home. I felt like we had tried our best and failed, and I was ok with that. The whole thing fell apart in less than a week. I often question that, but always conclude the decision was correct. I think the problems that split us up existed long before under the surface so it wasn't really out of nowhere. I do feel guilty because for her it may well have been completely out of nowhere. I still sort of consider her my wife, we call each other 'dear' still, if I ever got around to arranging the particulars I would have her inherit everything if I died. I don't pine for her or love her romantically but she's someone I cared for a lot. I don't plan on ever seeing her again.
