So, Charles Dickens was also a SIMP !Quick google search told me, He and his wife, Catherine Dickens, separated…
Are you talking about Charles Dickens? That guy treated his wife, Catherine, poorly, especially in the later years of their marriage. He had ten children with her but grew increasingly distant, blaming her for their large family and publicly portraying her as an unfit mother. In 1858, he separated from her, likely due to his affair with a young actress. He tried to control the narrative, publishing letters that painted himself as a victim while isolating Catherine from their children. His actions were cruel and manipulative, tarnishing his otherwise celebrated reputation.I admire his literary achievements but not his treatment of his wife and family.
Divorce in Victorian England was costly, rare, and favoured men. Before 1857, it required a private Act of Parliament. After 1857, men could divorce for adultery, but women had to prove adultery plus cruelty or desertion. Social stigma and financial ruin made divorce nearly impossible for most women. For Charles Dickens, Catherine’s lack of adultery meant he had no legal grounds to seek a divorce.
