Accusing him of failing to abide by table manners and proper eating etiquette, she said that she was disgusted by the “shocking sight” and could not stay with her husband the rest of life and wanted a divorce,.
In another case, a woman told her lawyer that she wanted to divorce her husband for insisting on squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle and not the end.
“We are always arguing,” she said. “I keep telling him that he should squeeze in the end of the tube, but he stubbornly refuses and keeps squeezing it in the middle. He is so obstinate.”

Now see, that's why you should shack up for a year or two before tying the knot: you can avoid surprises like these. Silly religious people...

Setting aside for the moment the idea that this was just a convenient excuse, I think the reason he kept squeezing it in the middle is that his wife was micro-managing his daily movements on an issue of zero importance, and he was being passive-aggressive about it. I would have done the same. In fact, I would have cut a hole in the other end of the toothpaste tube and squeezed the paste out of that. And then re-closed that opening with a clothespin.

These may have been arranged/forced marriages, and these excuses seemed the only way out for the women.
