Ok so heres the story A Russian man divorced his wife of 18 years after finding she had been feeding him cheap pumpkins instead of courgettes. Ivan Dimitrov, 47, was devastated to find the pies he had been eating for six months were made of pumpkins and not courgettes. Mr Dimitrov, from Voronezh, said when he realised the truth, after finding pumpkin rinds in the bin, he immediately hired a lawyer to organise a quick divorce from wife Irena, 38. He said: "She knows I absolutely hate pumpkins and she lied to me for months about it just because the pumpkins were cheap. "What else has she been lying about? What man could trust a woman who fed him pumpkins for half a year?" Have you ever heard of a more ludicrous reason for filing for divorce? I mean he spent 6 months eating the pies, so he obviously lied to her about hating pumpkin anyway

it is incredible....I cannot think that this is true....considering how big problem we canhave as a couple I cannot imagine ending a relation all because of such a stupid reason...anyway sometimes we all argue about silly things because there are even greater problems with our partner...this may be a reasonable explanation...or maybe he just wanted to split up and was looking for a thing and used this very ridiculous one...cannot either imagine a judge when reading this...I accuse my wife to buy something I ate and to cook it without telling me...if you hate something you should be capable of knowing if you're eating something you hate!!! it is incredible but so funny...

lol wow this story is incredible....it is so surreal that it's most likely true! There are many incredible stories about divorces...some do because of snorings, talking too loud, watching too much sports on tv.....and well the man hates pumpkins lol
