Meet Barry Dawson, The Man Who Faked Being Deaf And Dumb For 62 Years To Avoid T by SyrusdeHansome(m): 6:32pm On Nov 19, 2021 |
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 |

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. 2 Likes |

>> All the stressful process of learning a sign language... Divorce would have just solved his problem.. >>> Was he collecting disability fund from the Government? Because they might come for him.. >>> All the concession privileges I believe that he was enjoying all these while... like if bus fare was #10, he will pay #5... |

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. |

Mercychen: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 1 Like |

Mercychen: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. |
