A fan theory has emerged suggesting that Kramer from Seinfeld was secretly married before the show's pilot. The theory speculates that Kramer's early shut-in status was a result of his traumatizing failed marriage, which he describes as a "prison". The theory proposes that his ability to socialize from season 3 onwards is evidence that Jerry's friendship helped him recover from his marriage, and explains notable gaps in the character's back story. While there are moments that contradict the theory, it remains an interesting and plausible concept.
