In Kruse v. Kruse, 22 A.2d 475 Md.,(1941) (1) Where wife’s conduct rendered it practically impossible for husband to continue living with her and caused husband to leave, if wife’s conduct was the result of mental derangement, wife’s conduct in forcing husband out did not afford husband ground for divorce, since a competent will on part of wife was necessary to render her capable of “desertion”, but mere high-strung nerves and unrestrained impulsiveness on part of the wife would not save her from legal desertion.(2) The law does not undertake to distinguish among the various degrees of lack of control short of insanity and select those which prevent a divorce and those which do not.(3) Where wife’s conduct rendered it practically impossible for husband to continue living with her longer than he did, and wife’s actions prior to separation seemed difficult to reconcile with sane control though she had never been adjudicated insane, and it was doubtful whether on inquisition she would have been found insane, husband was entitled to divorce.
