Barry Dawson is an 84-year-old man from Waterbury,
Connecticut in the U.S. who faked being deaf and dumb for
62 years to avoid talking to his wife.
The 84-year old man reportedly never spoke a single word in
front of his 80-year old wife Dorothy during their 62 years of
marriage.
Upon learning about her husband’s deception, Dorothy filed
for divorce, She also took him to court, demanding financial
compensation for the ‘emotional stress and burden’ caused
by his deception.

She said it took her 2 years to learn to communicate with
hands so she could talk with her husband. She learned the
truth via a Youtube video in which Barry was seen dancing
and singing during a karaoke night in a bar.
“When he was at home, that j*** always faked being deaf. It
wasn’t until I saw a Youtube video of him singing during a
karaoke night in a bar while he was supposed to be at a
meeting for a charity, that I understood everything.”
Dawson’s lawyer Robert Sanchez noted that Dawson is quiet,
but not a cheat otherwise he would not have stayed in the
relationship for 62 years. He said the man wanted to save
the relationship because his wife was ‘annoyingly talkative’
and had he not stayed quiet, their marriage would not have
lasted more than 2 years.
“My client is pretty quiet and not very talkative, but his wife is
annoyingly chatty. If he hadn’t faked being deaf, they would
have divorced 60 years ago. In a way, he did it for her and for
his family,” he said.
Interestingly, Dawson’s family members also thought he was
deaf and dumb. The couple still raised six children and has
thirteen grandchildren, all of whom were also convinced that
Dawson was deaf

The decision paid.. The karaoke is epic for the old charming Granny. You think any reasonable judge will rule the case. It might be adjourned as long as they live together forever

Women can make you do everything.

Smart move

Crazy man

That grandpa is a good actor,62 years he really try.

Honestly l don’t blame the man. He just wanted peace. A pity she found out. Now he has lost his precious peace.

I think he is the one who needs to be compensated.

Papa, you are a legend.

Waooo.. Thats commendable!

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.

The man tried.

This is so funny and wicked.

He did it to save his marriage?
That's malice if you ask me.

Why marry a loquacious woman when you know you're the quiet type?.
If you're not compatible with someone, the best is leave them, instead of putting them through this kind of torture.

He just wasted the womans' time.

How did he waste her time.
Fine he didn't use words to speak to her, but they communicated using sign language, which she wouldn't have learnt if he wasn't a pretend deaf and dumb, They have been married for 60 years, have 6 children and 13 grand children, which means he was both a good husband and father, cause if he wasn't, d marriage wouldn't have last that long and produce so many children.
Did he decieve her? Yes he did.
But he didn't waste her time.
Bonus, he made her learn sign language

I just pointed out to you that, he didn't waste her time, like you initially said.
I wasn't justifying the deceit.
Have a nice day.
