Breakin’ up is, as Neil Sedaka once sagely pointed out, hard to do. But for one recently divorced woman, studying the data behind the breakup was a balm to help her through a tough emotional time.

With so many dating sites in existence, how do you make sure yours doesn’t drift off into digital oblivion?
When faced with this question, Sugardaddie decided the only way to go was to start raffling off free divorces to people who want to be “free.”
Yes, it has come to this. People who want to separate from their other half but can’t afford to do so can now hope to win a divorce from the dating site.
SugarDaddie’s CEO Steven Pasternack explained that it was one of his goals to “help people gain real independence in their lives.” Three couples in the areas where the competition is being held will be selected to win a divorce package from LegalZoom.
This has got to be one of the strangest prizes that I’ve seen.

Man Divorces Wife for Being Ugly, Judge Awards Him with Damages – Wait, What?
Posted in: Today's ChiliThis is as bizarre as news can get. A man boy recently filed for divorce from his now ex-wife because he claimed she was ugly. I call him a ‘boy’ because really I don’t think any real man would do what he did. What ever happened to ’til death do us part’?
Apparently, everything began when Jian Feng’s daughter was born. In his own words, he described the baby as ‘incredibly ugly.’ He then proceeded to accuse his wife of cheating because the baby didn’t resemble either one of them.
It was at this time that his wife admitted to spending over a hundred grand on plastic surgery. She never told him about it though. This resulted with Mr. Feng filing for divorce since his wife ‘deceived him’ and convinced him to marry her ‘under false pretenses.’ What kind of love was it if it was only skin-deep anyway?
The judge agreed with him though and awarded him the damages. With all the advancements people are making with cosmetic surgery, these are pretty sad developments on both fronts: for the woman, who went to such lengths to look ‘pretty’ by social standards; and to Fend, who probably only wanted to marry her pretty face and nothing more.
