My husband has embarrassed me at the annual institute holiday party for the last time. I want another divorce.
My husband, soon to be ex-husband if all goes as planned, was leering at an archival assistant the other day. He also had a bit too much to drink, and started talking about various…personal activities that I would’ve preferred be undisclosed. Now, I’ve divorced him before, but this time he seems fit to antagonize me and not sign the papers. Not just that, but he’s also disappeared, which isn’t uncommon but is still frustrating when I’m trying to divorce him. He always gets in a hissy fit when I divorce him, but this time he’s just being petty.
Is there a way to divorce him without needing to track him down in order to have him sign the papers? He’s the captain of a ship and when he gets…petulant, he often sails for a few months before returning to his moorhouse. During these times, it’s notoriously hard to contact him, much less find him.
tl;dr: my husband ran away in an attempt to be petty and now I can’t divorce him. What do I do?
Edit: Please stop making remarks on the healthiness of our relationship. It’s none of your business, and we are perfectly fine.
Edit: We got divorced again since I made the first post.
Edit: We are now remarried again.

I (48M) feel like my husband is very clingy and I’m a person who needs solitude to survive. What should I do?
My husband is always talking to me. I just want to be left alone, but he just keeps on scheming. He’s always ranting about hiding tapes and the watcher’s crown and it is getting tedious having to listen to his, well, words in general.
How should I ask for more space?

I have a clingy partner too, and what I do is set clear boundaries. I also make sure to set time towards my partner outside of those times when I’m alone, like having dinner every night and having movie/games night once a week.

I know, it’s a lot. You see why I can’t stand him being so clingy?

from reading the replies, I can only assume you hate your husband.

I don’t know how OP could possibly salvage this relationship if they hate each other and only talk every three months.

I had my archival assistants spit in his tea.
My boss is a huge bastard. He is just, awful. He always looks like you’re amusing him but in that kind of way where he’s looking like you like a meal. He is just a horrible human being. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he killed someone. That’s the kind of person he is.
Anyway, I usually try to keep a professional relationship with my assistants but a few nights ago they invited me to go out for drinks with them and my friend blackmailed me into it. We got hammered. It was a truly…special experience. Ever since then, I’ve been on better terms with them. We even have a groupchat.
The situation goes like this: he’s been ranting to me for the last hour about things I ALREADY KNOW in that pompous, annoying voice of his. Anyway, I texted one of my assistants, I’ll call him M, and M comes in mid rant. I very sternly ask “why haven’t you made [our boss’s name, I’ll refer to him as E] tea yet?”
I kind of put him on the spot and he just stayed there with his jaw dropped. I told him to go make E a cup of tea, so he scurries out.
I wait about 30 seconds and then discretely text the groupchat: “spit in his tea M.”
Anyway, they go absolutely *ballistic* and T, another one of my assistants, sprints halfway across the building (I hear he even knocked into our secretary), just to spit in E’s tea too. My last assistant is a bit wearier but she does it too.
M comes back with the tea and hands it to E before quickly leaving. A few minutes pass and E still hasn’t touched his tea.
So I remind him that M makes very good tea and he’d be disappointed if E didn’t drink it.
There is a quiet battle of wills.
Now, I don’t know how to put this without sounding insane, but our boss…he just *knows* things. He’s psychic, or something like that. There is absolutely NO way he didn’t know the tea was messed with. He knows, he knows I know, and we silently stare at each other without moving.
Finally, *finally*, still making direct eye contact with me, he takes a sip of his tea and purses his lips. I ask him if he isn’t thirsty.
He says he isn’t, and leaves the room. I never did find out what happened to that tea.
tl;dr: I got my archival assistants to spit in my asshole bosses’ tea. It was glorious.

notjonnydville 2.1k points · 2 weeks ago
he didn’t have any evidence, so no.

did he ever try to get revenge?
notjonnydville 7.1k points · 2 weeks ago
he framed me for murder, but I’m still not sure if that was directly related.
