“Till death do us part” doesn’t quite hold the same weight as it used to, but most people still view marriage as a serious commitment.

However, reality often diverges from expectations, and people can change after exchanging vows. In a revealing online discussion, people who divorced after just one year shared their stories.

We spoke with the original poster to understand the reactions this question sparked. Here are some of the most notable responses:

#1
One girl married an older friend at 16 to escape her abusive, drug-addicted parents. He paid her parents to allow the marriage, but they never acted as a couple because he was gay. They divorced once she turned 18, having planned this arrangement all along.

#2
Another person described a marriage that lasted slightly over a year. Red flags appeared immediately after the honeymoon when her husband chose to sleep on the couch. He ignored her except for work events, and his behavior became increasingly dismissive. The final straw was his anger over her spending $8 on funeral shoes while he splurged $800 on a golf club the next day. She realized her worth and left.

#3
A third individual admitted becoming complacent after their child was born, leading his wife to fall out of love and eventually cheat. Post-divorce, he committed to self-improvement, hitting the gym, attending college, and seeking therapy.

#4
One woman referred to her brief union as a “starter marriage.” Her husband, who initially seemed dedicated, turned controlling and neglectful, even changing the way her keys were organized. His neglect extended to household chores and personal gifts, culminating in an incident where he threw their kitten in a fit of rage. She left after seven months, unable to tolerate his behavior any longer.

#5
Cheating was a common theme. One person shared that their ex-husband left for another woman, with whom he is still together 12 years later.

#6
Another marriage ended when a wife sought to isolate her husband from his friends and family to control him, leading to a divorce after just six weeks.

#7
One man recounted moving away to earn a master’s degree, only to receive a Facebook message from his wife ending their marriage. Her abruptness underscored their incompatibility.

#8
Another regretted not canceling her wedding due to her fiancé’s anger issues. His violent outburst immediately after the wedding and a subsequent dangerous driving incident led her to leave after five months.

#9
A friend’s experience highlighted the dangers of rushed decisions. After a whirlwind month-long engagement, his wife’s erratic behavior, including bringing her child on their honeymoon and constant screaming, led to a split after ten months.

#10
Paranoia ended one marriage when a husband, after losing his job, became obsessed with the idea that his working wife was cheating on him. His baseless accusations and controlling behavior caused their swift divorce.

#11
One woman’s ex-husband was verbally and mentally abusive, culminating in him expressing excitement about her potential suicide. She left him immediately after this disturbing revelation.

#12
A deceitful husband hid his joblessness, leading to eviction and the discovery of his infidelity. His lies unraveled their marriage quickly.

#13
One person described their husband’s first marriage. They married after only six months of knowing each other, which wasn’t enough time. She quit her job without discussing it, spent their savings on a tattoo, and drained their joint account while he was away. That was the final straw.

#14
A couple got pregnant on their honeymoon because the husband threw away the wife’s birth control. Later, he cheated with a neighbor because he claimed she “got fat.”

#15
A Spanish cousin married an American woman who moved to his town outside Barcelona. She made no effort to integrate or learn the language, isolating herself. One day, she left for America with all her belongings, ending the marriage abruptly.

Social media often paints an unrealistic picture of perfect relationships, but these stories remind us of the complex, often hidden struggles people face.

Being kind and true to ourselves is essential, as the real-life experiences behind closed doors are seldom as perfect as they appear online.
