Life, career and business coach, Penny Holburn told Briefly News about the different instances that make couples air each others' dirty laundry:

"People usually behave like this when they are extremely hurt and angry. They want others to know about the pain and suffering they have been through, so they want to get their message out to the public. They want everyone to know what a horrible person their partner was and how they were treated.
"They may also want others to be aware of what can happen and what to be on the lookout for in selecting a marriage partner. It could be revenge, but it could also be to educate the public about the reality of some marriages and what to look out for."
