Some stories have a way of touching our hearts and providing a much-needed break from the seriousness of life. This funny anecdote is one of those stories that never fails to bring a smile to our faces. Whether you’ve come across it before or not, it’s bound to make you laugh all over again.
This story has all the ingredients of an entertaining tale – drama, revenge, and a surprising twist. It all begins with a letter from a husband asking his wife for a divorce. But it’s his wife’s clever response that steals the show.
The husband’s letter reads:
Dear wife,
I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years, and I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell.
Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today, and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn’t even notice I had a new haircut. I cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want sex or anything that connects us as husband and wife. Either you’re cheating on me or you don’t love me anymore; whatever the case, I’m gone.
Your EX-Husband
P.S. Don’t try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!
And now, the wife’s brilliant reply:
Dear Ex-Husband,
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It’s true you and I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what you’ve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn’t work.
I DID notice when you got a haircut last week, but the first thing that came to mind was ‘You look just like a girl!’ Since my mother raised me not to say anything if I can’t say something nice, I didn’t comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago.
About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, and I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning.
After all of this, I still loved you and felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job and bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home, you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won’t get a dime from me. So take care.
Signed,
Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell & Free!
