An American woman has filed for divorce from her husband after he voted for Donald Trump in the recently concluded US election.
The man, who shared the details on social media, expressed his shock at his wife’s decision and said he couldn’t believe she was willing to end their marriage simply because he voted for Trump. He explained that he was left speechless by how quickly the divorce papers had been served, adding that he never imagined their marriage could fall apart over political differences. He wrote: “I voted for Trump, my wife sent me divorce papers. What do I do? I didn’t even know it was possible to be served divorce papers this quickly.”
The man further shared his confusion, writing, “I don’t even know what to say. I’m shocked I married somebody willing to throw away our entire life over politics. Last week we were happy, today we’re getting divorced.” He mentioned that his wife was unwilling to have any discussion on the matter and insisted that nothing would change her mind. Additionally, he revealed that she planned to report his parents, who live off disability benefits, because of their financial situation, and mentioned that his father occasionally does cash work in auto repair. This left him worried about the well-being of his family, which added to his distress. He said, “She won’t have a discussion, she says nothing will change her mind. She insists she is going to report my parents because they live off of disability, but my dad does some cash work auto repair, so now I’m worried for my whole family (sic).”
In his post, the man expressed how difficult it was for him to understand why his wife had taken such an extreme stance. He shared his frustration and fear that she would not be open to any kind of reasoning or compromise. Feeling unsure of how to proceed, he reached out for advice, stating that he was in a serious dilemma. His post highlighted the emotional toll of political disagreements within marriages and his confusion about the sudden and drastic turn his relationship had taken. He asked for advice on what to do next as he navigated this unexpected situation. “I’m lost, what should I do?” he concluded in his post.
