In what may be deemed as an unconventional divorce letter, a husband writes to his wife expressing his decision to leave her forever. After seven years of marriage, he feels unappreciated and overlooked. He recounts the recent events that led to his breaking point, including her sudden job resignation and their lack of emotional connection. He questions her fidelity and concludes that their relationship has reached an irreparable state.
“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 & 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 & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want $ex or anything that connects us as husband & 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 & I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!”
An Unexpected Rebuttal
The wife’s response to the divorce letter is laced with sarcasm and unveils a different perspective on their relationship. She expresses her delight upon receiving the letter, highlighting the discontent she felt throughout their marriage. She dismisses his complaints, referring to his constant whining and griping. The wife playfully mentions his feminine appearance after his haircut and reveals that she had stopped eating pork years ago. The revelation continues as she addresses the new silk boxers, indicating that they were intended for someone else.
“Dear Ex-Husband,
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It’s true you & 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 & griping. Too bad that doesn’t work. I DID notice when you got a haircut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was ‘You look just like a girl!’ Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you 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, & 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 & felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & 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!
P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that’s not a problem.”
An Unexpected Twist
The wife concludes her response by revealing her newfound fortune of 10 million dollars, obtained through a lottery win. She affirms her decision to quit her job and offers insight into her plans for their relationship, hoping that their Jamaica trip could have been a fresh start. However, upon returning home, she discovers that her husband had already left. She expresses her contentment with the situation, as her lawyer assures her that her husband’s letter eliminates any claim to her newfound wealth. She signs off as his ex-wife, now rich and free.
In a final revelation, she shares that her sister, previously known as Carl, is now Carla. With this surprising revelation, she playfully challenges her ex-husband to accept this unexpected twist.
The letter exchange between the former spouses offers a glimpse into their tumultuous relationship and showcases the power of unexpected revelations.
