Although the couple had agreed to a divorce, Alfie objected to Millie's demand for alimony. "She never wanted to go out to work, so she never earned a penny of what I own." he complained, "She was disgusting to live with. She claims to have stayed home to be a housewife, but she never picked up my socks or underwear from the floor and every time I went to urinate in the kitchen sink, it was full of dirty dishes."
