This part made me laugh 😂... Nawa oo that was rude. On top trying to help them resolve their conflict. Well, I guess it happens. Some people even get punched in the process of mediating people's dispute.

It's sad to hear that they ended up divorcing but I guess that's the best for them anyway.
Thanks for sharing this!
