I read michael mcintyre's autobiography. He said one morning his parents had a huge argument about a grapefruit (70s/80s trendie breakfast), which led to their divorce.

Today, me, dh and dd (11) went out for a "pleasant" Sunday afternoon drink. We do this every week. Tension has been building between me and dh (his affair nearly a year ago and I have waived between anger, denial, reconciliation and anger). Anyway, I bought a book on Buddhism (to help my brain). I attempted a discussion on this. It descended into an argument about how much vicars should get paid ... and dd in tears.

It has to be the end. It is such a laughable joke that is not the least bit funny.

I'm so sorry, it's not nice when intended pleasant outings end like this. Sending you a hug.
I remember me and DH years ago having a stonker of an argument about a Dolly Parton song. That was nearly the end of us too.

Yes, it’s not about the grapefruit is it?(or the vicar🤣)

I wouldn’t forgive an affair. Maybe it’s just time to call it a day? Can’t say you haven’t tried!

a stonker of an argument about a Dolly Parton song

😂😂😂That made me laugh. Totally the type of thing we'd argue about.

Yes, when it makes a child cry, it makes me die inside and it is time to end it. I could actually forgive the affair. Being a general arsehole (let's not go into the specifics of the vicar argument), i can't.

Sausages. Specifically I'd cooked the wrong ones- the cheap ones not the nice ones. He was annoyed, told me he'd looked forward to the sausages all day, and now wanted a divorce.......

That sounds like the scene in Shirley Valentine with ‘egg n chips’ when she gives the dog her husband’s steak. Eek.
