A man from Waterbury in Connecticut faces divorce after his wife found out that he was not actually deaf and had been faking it for more than 62 years to avoid having to listen to her.
According to the divorce papers, 84-year old Barry Dawson never spoke a single word in front of his 80-year old wife Dorothy during the decades they lived together.
Ms. Dawson learned the sign language to be able to communicate with her husband but says he was still not really communicative.
The couple still raised six children and has thirteen grandchildren, all of whom were also convinced that Mr. Dawson was deaf.
