Sometimes such incidents come to the fore on the internet, which surprises us. One such strange incident has come to light recently: a husband fed up with his wife’s chatter, pretended to be dumb and deaf for 62 years. This story is being widely spread on social media.
According to online sources, this is the story of a man from Waterbury, Connecticut, USA, who had to face divorce because his wife found out that he was not dumb and deaf. Still, he was pretending to be dumb and deaf for more than 62 years to avoid listening to her. According to the divorce papers, 84-year-old Barry Dawson did not speak a single word in front of his 80-year-old wife Dorothy for decades.
This strange story was first shared on Facebook by the World News Daily Report website, which was shared widely by numerous social media users. But in fact, World News Daily Report is a Canadian website known for publishing fake stories. This has also been revealed in various online fact-check reports.
According to the fact check report done by other sources, their investigation found that this website is full of misleading and fake news. When you look at the bottom of this website, you will find a disclaimer in which it is written that “World News Daily Report takes responsibility for all fictional and satirical stories, but the similarity found with the characters of the story is just a miracle.” The website has written that its stories have nothing to do with the truth. “
This fictional story serves as an unusual example of how people adopt strange methods to deal with their problems. Despite being widely shared on social media and believed by many to be true, fact-check reports eventually revealed its fictional nature. Now, everyone understands that it is merely a story.
