Nagging as divorce cause
The 1947 case of DeWaal vs. DeWaal established nagging as legitimate grounds for divorce (in Nebraska). I assume this was before the availability of no-fault divorce. (A quick google search reveals that Nebraska only adopted a no-fault divorce law in 1972.)
Note that Mrs. DeWaal argued that her husband was at fault (and not herself) because he went to motion picture theaters and read "sensational magazines."

If nagging is a legitimate cause for divorce all of us men would have a reason. Especially me, Expat, and Patty's poor abused subby.

Sorry, BD, I got me one of those European models that KNOWS HER TAUGHT ME MY PLACE early on so she doesn't need to nag.
