A married couple in Cambodia who had “finally had enough” of each other have gone their separate ways by literally cutting their home in half.
Married Cambodian couple saw home in half after separation
The wife will stay put with the upright half while her husband has carried away his half to start again on the other side of the village.
Neighbours said the couple saw the radical action as the most cost-efficient and equitable way to avoid each other in a country where divorce lawyers can be expensive.
Vorng Morn, the headman of Cheach village, fifty miles from the capital Phnom Penh, told the Phnom Penh Post: “We tried to persuade them to think clearly before they did this because they had been married for nearly 40 years. But they did not listen.”
Mr Morn refused to identify the couple to protect their privacy.
The impetus for the break up was the husband’s alleged malingering, or the wife’s alleged lack of care, depending on your point of view.

I think there's nothing fairer than this. Sir Paul McCartney split with Heather Mills would have been much simpler...Simply Cut the Estate in Half..
