A Divorce Letter With a Twist: A Story of Unexpected Revelations
The revealing of disappointment
In what could be considered an unorthodox divorce letter, a guy writes to his wife, stating his choice to leave her forever. After seven years of marriage, he feels underappreciated and neglected. He describes the recent events that led up to his breaking point, such as her abrupt job resignation and their lack of emotional connection. He is concerned about her fidelity and decides that their relationship is irreparable.
“Dear wife,
I’m writing to inform you that I am leaving you forever. I have been a nice man to you for seven years and have nothing to show for it. The last two weeks have been horrible. … Your supervisor called to tell me you resigned your job today, and that was the final straw. Last week, you came home and didn’t notice I had a fresh haircut, made your favorite meal, and was wearing a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in two minutes and fell asleep immediately after watching all of your soap operas. You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want $ex or anything that ties us together as husband and wife. Either you are cheating on me or you no longer love me; in any case, I am leaving.
Your ex-husband.
P.S. Do not try to find me. Your SISTER and I are heading out to West Virginia together! Have a wonderful life!”
A surprising rebuttal.
The wife’s answer to the divorce letter is sarcastic and provides a different perspective on their relationship. She expresses her joy at getting the letter, despite the dissatisfaction she felt throughout their marriage. She dismisses his objections, citing his habitual moaning and griping. The wife jokes about his feminine appearance following his haircut and confesses that she quit eating pork years ago. The disclosure continues when she mentions the new silk boxers, implying that they were meant for someone else.
“Dear Ex-husband,
Nothing has brightened my day more than receiving your note. True, you and I have been married for seven years, but a good guy is not what you have been. I watch soap operas so much because they drown out your continual whining and complaining. Too bad it doesn’t function. I did notice you had a haircut last week, but the first thing that came to me was, ‘You look just like a girl!’ I didn’t comment because my mother taught me not to say anything if it wasn’t polite. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have confused me with MY SISTER, as I quit eating pork seven years ago. Regarding the new silk boxers, I looked away from you since the $49.99 price tag was still on them, and I hoped it was a coincidence because my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you and believed we could work things out. So when I won the lottery for $10 million, I quit my job and got us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I returned home, you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I believe. I hope you lead the fulfilled life you have always desired. My lawyer stated that the letter you wrote guaranteed that you will not receive any money from me. So be careful.Signed, Your Ex-Wife, Rich as Hell and Free!
P.S. I’m not sure if I told you this before, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that isn’t an issue.”
A shocking twist.
The wife continues her speech by announcing her newfound fortune of $10 million, acquired through a lottery win. She confirms her decision to leave her job and shares details about her aspirations for their relationship, hoping that their trip to Jamaica would have been a new beginning. However, when she returns home, she finds that her husband has already left. She expresses her satisfaction with the situation, as her lawyer informs her that her husband’s letter waives any claim to her newfound fortune. She signs off as his ex-wife, now wealthy and independent.
Finally, she reveals that her sister, previously known as Carl, is now Carla. With this shocking revelation, she jokingly dares her ex-husband to accept the unexpected twist.
The letter exchange between the former spouses provides insight into their difficult relationship and demonstrates the impact of unexpected revelations.
