Wife uses pub sign to dump cheating husband

You're barred: The sign telling Paul his marriage is over

Most break-ups take place behind closed doors.

But not for one unfaithful husband, whose discovery his wife was leaving him was witnessed by the entire high street.

He went to their favourite bar only to find its sign had been changed to read: 'PAUL… I AM DIVORCING YOU.'

And the next day a follow-up appeared, saying: 'BTW I AM KEEPING THE DOG.'

The scorned wife, who wished to remain anonymous, said she wanted to 'make him pay' after she found out he was having an affair.

She said: 'I was angry and upset so wanted a sign to go up for everyone to see.

'When I found out, I went through a mixture of emotions but felt angry and wanted him to pay.

'We have been together for years and it is so sad it has come to this. I am absolutely devastated and going through a really tough time at the moment.

'I did feel a bit better once the sign went up.'

To add insult to injury, it wasn't the first time she had used the tactic, having previously used magnetic letters when she asked Paul to marry her.

Not so happy ending: The sign proposing to Paul

Noah's Yard café and bar, in Swansea, often alters its frontage – but messages supporting Wales in the rugby are more usual.

Owner Noah Redfern, 36, said: 'Maybe this will become a new way of asking for a divorce.

'We have had a lot of interest from customers who have been asking about the story behind the sign.'

Passer-by Ron Williams claimed it would keep men in the area on their toes.

He said: 'This could give a lot of wives in the city an idea – I'm guessing there will be a few nervous husbands walking down the street today.'
