Mrs. Nellie Davidson, 81, is seeking a divorce from husband Bryan Davidson, 59, after 17 years of marriage. She told the judge that Bryan insists on taking her dancing five or six nights a week, which is too tiring for her. She testified she would go one or two nights a week. "Sometimes three," but then he'd get mad if she refused to go. To cap it all, "I was even told he took other ladies on other nights," Mrs. Davidson testified in support of her suit.
