They had an enormous fight that lasted the whole time they were remodelling their kitchen. Those fricking drawer pulls were the last straw.
Um. I'd imagine.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Our other friend-jokingly of course- suggested she buy a ginormous black dildo and stick it on the mantle for when he pops by. (In addition to being a controlling jerk, he's also a little bit racist).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That was already turned into a song!

No. The first rule of dumping scary psycho ex: Don't not taunt scary psycho ex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, here's another theory: This is his way of telling her, "With me gone, things won't be sunny side up anymore! Because you won't be able to fry eggs anymore without the spatula! I mean, I suppose you could, but then how would you get the eggs out of the pan!?!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
or, more mundanely, he just wanted to make her life as inconvenient as possible without doing something he could actually be arrested for.
Is being crazy grounds for divorce?

Remodeling the house was what finally destroyed my parent's marriage. It's extremely stressful.

My non-fun theory is that he thinks she'll really miss him when she can't fix a simple thing like the drawer pulls, and then she'll realize how much she needs him and how much he actually did do around the house. In reality, it's not that she couldn't fix the drawer pulls, but what with doing the laundry, cooking, cleaning and looking after the kids, she figured that could be his job.

Yes it is. I was only projecting a little. We put in a new kitchen when I was nine months pregnant with my youngest child. My oldest had just turned 4. My middle child was 16/17 months.

My mom has been remodeling her and step-dad's house since they were first married. That's 11 years of remodeling. Step-dad has a very relaxed attitude toward it, and he's not really expected to do a whole lot.
