Agatha Christie might have experienced this. In 1926, her husband Archibald had been having an affair with another woman and asked her for a divorce. One night, she left her home at night, drove a little far. Her car was found abandoned. When they searched for her she was found 11 days later in a hotel in Northern England staying under a false name with no recollection of who she was. But, there are some people who think that she did all of that deliberately just to embarass her husband.

Happy cake day
