She Wants To Divorce Her Husband After Finding Out That He Lied About Getting His Degree

If you discovered that your spouse lied to you about finishing their degree while you financially supported them, would you want to file for divorce?

This 32-year-old woman figured out not that long ago that her 33-year-old husband lied to her about something pretty big. Now, her husband struggles with his mental health, mainly OCD, and his family raised him to brush it all off.

She married her husband super young, and she financially supported the two of them while he was in college. Except she just found out that he actually lied to her about finishing his degree.

She suspects her husband's mental health fell apart while he was in college, and he felt too overwhelmed to complete his degree. Her husband never told her because he didn't feel safe in doing so.

Apparently, back when they were just teens, she had a negative reaction when he attempted to open up to her about his mental health, and that was the last time he tried addressing it with her. She actually doesn't recall this happening, but has said sorry to her husband anyway.

"When I confronted him about the degree, there was some major gaslighting that started to make me feel crazy. After a couple [of] days, he’s pretty much admitted to it by talking in 'hypothetically if I did this, this is why, etc,'" she explained.

"He doesn’t want to outright confirm it because he is afraid of me telling people. He never used his 'degree,' which is why I didn’t really question it, and when I didn’t see his name printed on the graduates list, he just said he asked the university not to print it, but did get mad at me for being suspicious."

"My husband is a very private person, which I think is heightened by his OCD...like it even makes him uncomfortable when I look for something under his sink. He doesn’t like when people know too much personal information about him, which has caused us to get into arguments for me saying something I thought was fine to share, but to him it wasn’t."

She does say that her husband is sweet, hilarious, and loyal, but she's still thinking of divorcing him for this enormous lie.

Listen, his mental health status is not a free pass to have done this to her. Also, I can't believe that she supported him through college and he still felt that it was acceptable to lie to her about finishing his degree. Talk about a slap in the face.

He's self-serving with his lies, and that has nothing to do with OCD, come on. I wonder what else he's hiding from her. It's perfectly fine for this to be the straw that breaks the camel's back and causes her to file for divorce.

What do you think she should do?
