LOUISVILLE, KY—In a wide-ranging conversation about the hardships and difficult choices her family had faced during the Great Depression, local grandmother Mary Sipple casually mentioned Tuesday that in August 1937 she took the life of a man who refused to give up a jar of mayonnaise. “She just crushed his skull with a rock and […]
A lady confessed to killing her first husband.
She said that he was wonderful, kind, caring, right up until she had her firstborn. Then he struck her.
She said she killed him (while he was sleeping), buried him in the garden, and that night she moved “the next state over.” She married a different man (who claimed he fathered her firstborn) and they had many years and many other children together.
someone ran up the numbers once and one effect no one talks about with the availability of divorce is how fast the male spouse death rate went down. Seriously, I think it was something staggering like a 75% drop.
There have always been a lot of women who won’t put up with that bullshit.
Do you maybe have a source? This sounds like a very interesting read
Found it!

those black eyed peas tasted alright to me, Earl
lotta falling off ladders in the olden days. Something those project 25 “let’s remove no fault divorce” fuckers might need to remember…
Yeah, the desire to relegate women to reproductive and domestic labor and deny the freedom to leave can really be reframed as opportunity and motive. I for one would be terrified to have someone who wants to leave me cooking my food and sharing my bed, that’s like two of the easiest ways to kill or debilitate someone.
The only realistic solution is to hire a taster to ensure all your foods are poison free. Finally the right can live out that age-old Medieval feudal fantasy.
Me and a few guys used to go to nursing homes once a month and play old music for them. Elvis, some old gospel, old country, Bobby Darin, just whatever they wanted. We got to be friends with the residents.
One of the guys told me the story of how his first wife beat him with a frying pan while he was asleep and he ran off to Mexico to get away. He eventually married another woman who had poisoned her first husband because he beat her right after their first kid was born. They were married for 70 years when she died and ended up with 4 kids total.
Apparently that was pretty common at one time. I do not know whether he deserved to be hit with a skillet or not, but if he did he never acted up again because he knows he’d have been killed.
Omg
Holy shit, amazing. Thank you for taking some time out of your day for story time
