An English couple has been allowed to divorce because the wife moved the furniture every day for 38 years of marriage, press reports said on Tuesday.
Pauline Turner, 62, rearranged the tables, chairs and sofas for every one of the 13,872 days of her marriage to John, also 62, the court at Middlesbrough in Cleveland heard.
The couple moved from the matrimonial home, a three bedroom semi-detached house in Thornaby-on-Tees in Cleveland, into a caravan six miles away with some of the furniture fixed to the floor, in the hope the obsession would cease.
Mrs. Turner did not change, however.
"It’s unreasonable to move furniture every solitary day. I was sick and tired of life with Pauline," said John Turner, who moved out this year.
Pauline Turner, who still lives in the caravan, with its own neat garden, initially contested the divorce, but accepted in court on Monday that the marriage had irretrievably broken down.
"Moving furniture about was just something I did, always have done and I always will do. I suppose everybody has their little obsession, whatever," she said.
Judge Peter Bowers granted a "cross decree", meaning both parties won a divorce after hearing that John Turner, who makes bird tables for a hobby, had committed adultery since January.

A、They hoped it could cure Mrs. Turner’s illness.
B、They were tired of old environment.
