My dad was totally blindsided by it. But she had put up with his alcoholism and bipolar disorder enough. She told him she would leave if he quit taking his meds and kept drinking. Guess what? He didn't take his meds and he kept on drinking, yet he was shocked when she had the papers served. The Captain may not have seen it coming, but maybe he should have.
