Split up with my wife over this

Hi, when this film came out ten years ago myself and my then wife made our way to the cinema about 30 miles away to see it.

As we got near, it annoyed me that she kept on referring to 'road to peridition'. I found this funny and pointed out on several occasions that 'peridition' is not a word whilst driving there.

So she was insistent that I was being a fool and that she was right. An argument ensued and we turned the car around to drive home as it became heated before even reaching the cinema. I in my infinite wisdom thought that repeating the words 'road to perdition' constantly until she agreed that I was right and she was not only a fool but was wrong and should bow to my superior vocabulary.

Her response was to throw her wedding and engagement ring out the car window! I to say the least was not particularly enthralled. And we eventually stopped and searched but never found the rings.

We didn't last long after that. Why couldn't they have just called it 'road to repent' or something some idiot could say! Anyway, don't worry about me, no way I could live with a buffoon anyway and life took much better twists for me in the end.

Saw the film for the first time last night (which I did enjoy) and managed a nostalgic chuckle.

Wow.....that was both hilarious....and sad.Seems like that love was on pretty thin ice(If you say you two were doing great up until this Point,guess that would baffle me as well.)A woman does not like to be corrected,not in a serious way,declaring a woman dumb in a relationship will lead to....yeah,something like that.

Better luck then me though,my ex was payed by a third party to be with me,cheat on me and recorded our conversations and spread all all my secrets over the net with a confessed motive to drive me to suicide....I´m not popular. So hey,be happy that you´re ex just had a problem with the Word...Perdition. Many people do,it´s not that uncommon,lol.

As if men can't be an annoyingly apathetic caricature while women are the idiots for them to continually generalize. There's a reason women live longer and thank god for it, most of them aren't dunces. Not all women behave this way, just the ones that never bothered to read or comprehend a book more than 100 pages without pictures and fashion tips.

Everybody is entitled to my opinion.

I can't help it, I laughed at this thread. I am sorry for your breakup, it just seems like a ridicolous reason to breakup. I hope you enjoyed the movie though.

And ironically your story was better than the film itself.

---An argument ensued and we turned the car around to drive home as it became heated before even reaching the cinema.------ Good thing you turned around; some people would have said "Let's go look at the marquee"

I'm going to try this. Might be easier than straight up asking for a divorce. Thanks for the tip.

I have a friend who's married to this really hot girl, but it's by no means worth the trouble. Once we were out bar hopping, and she ran into a median and blew out the tire. He and I changed the tire, and for a good solid hour she twisted it around to make it his fault, after he was good enough to change it without complaining. At that point I pretty much decided marriage is not for me, cuz I would never let anyone push me around like that. If I were you I'd definitely thank my lucky stars for the this movie.
