The term “Duggar divorce” is an oxymoron.
If you know anything about Jim Bob Duggar’s belief system, you would know that this man is very passionate about marriage and having children.
In Jim Bob’s view, women were put on earth for the sole purpose of bearing children and being faithful wives.
Needless to say, this man believes that divorce is a mortal sin and that married people who don’t stay married should be excluded from polite society.
So, while it will take a lot for one of Jim Bob’s children to end their marriage, that doesn’t mean it will never happen.
Duggar divorce: Who will be the first to divorce?
During a recent discussion on the always entertaining r/DuggarsSnark subreddit, commenters speculated about which couple might publicly defy Jim Bob by going their separate ways.
And the consensus was that there were two marriages in the Duggar world that seemed doomed.
“When Jim Bob dies, some people will get divorced,” one user wrote, according to the British tabloid. solar.
“I feel like Anna could get dumped if Josh leaves after years of waiting for him,” another added.
“[Josh] Anna is my only guess. [Josh] When he gets out of prison and no longer wants to pretend to be the good guy in IBLP, he’ll be the one to initiate the divorce,” opined a third man.
Will Josh Duggar be dumped?
Yes, Josh and Anna are certainly the most troubled couple in the family.
Of course, Josh’s latest appeal was denied. That means he won’t be able to get out of prison for nearly 10 years. So we’ll probably have to wait quite a few years to see if these predictions come true.
However, some Duggar watchers think another Duggar divorce will happen sooner.
Will Jessa and Ben call it quits?
“I think it will be the same with Jessa and Ben. I definitely don’t see any love (or even love) between them,” one Reddit user predicted.
“I can see Jessa leaving Ben for a stronger man,” another wrote.
“I hope Jessa breaks up with Ben. She was my favorite when I used to watch this show, and I always thought she’d be the first to break all the rules once she turned 18. I was thinking about it,” a third person commented, adding:
“I think she’ll find herself once the kids are older.”
Jessa’s alleged misery
Yes, a vocal legion of Duggar fans have been rooting for Jessa to free herself from the constraints of the hyper-patriarchal world she grew up in.
They believe that Ben, as the husband essentially chosen by Jessa’s father, is the embodiment of that oppression.
He might not be as bad as people make him out to be. However, Jessa will definitely need to leave her marriage in order to free herself from her father’s belief system.
Jessa’s disastrous marriage has been a topic of speculation from the moment she said “I do.”
Of course, there are now rumors that Jessa is pregnant again. So it seems like Reddit can’t make a decision.
In any case, Jim Bob and Michelle have 19 children, most of whom will follow in their parents’ footsteps and marry young.
Statistically, this means that the family will divorce at least once in the next few years.
And if that happens, there’s no doubt that Jim Bob will flip the lid.
