18 Times People TOTALLY Blindsided Their Spouses With Divorce Papers

14.

“I blindsided my ex-husband with service at the door by the sheriff, and his reaction was rage, which was basically the reason I had planned it that way — I was afraid of him. I had to stay in the home with him for the next week, for legal custody reasons, and when I tell you that he became the most perfect and attentive and affectionate and calm man for that one week! Broke my heart, completely shattered my mind, because it showed me that he could have been that person the whole time, but didn’t care to try, and took me completely for granted, until papers came…”

“Zero regrets, except that I stayed as long as I did and didn’t fight 50/50 custody to get full legal and custodial. He still acts like he doesn’t know why I left. He still shows up as that perfectly thoughtful and considerate person sometimes, but only when he wants something, or there’s an ‘audience,’ and it still breaks my heart.”
