Wife Receives a Divorce Letter — Her Reply Is Brilliant

When we fall in love, we often think it will last forever. But reality has a way of teaching us lessons the hard way—and sometimes with a laugh.

One husband, deciding to end his marriage, thought the easiest way to do it was with a letter. What he didn’t expect was that his wife’s response would completely flip the script.

Dear Wife,
I’m writing this letter to tell you I’m leaving you for good. I’ve been a good man to you in our seven years of marriage, and I have nothing to show for it.

The last two weeks have been particularly tough. Your boss told me you quit your job, and that was just too much to bear.

Last week, you came home and didn’t even notice my new haircut, didn’t comment on the meal I cooked for you, or acknowledge the new silk boxers I wore. You eat in two minutes, go straight to sleep after your soaps, and never tell me you love me anymore.

Either you’re cheating or you don’t love me. Whatever the case, it’s over. I am leaving.

Your Ex-Husband

P.S. Don’t try to find me. Your sister and I are moving to West Virginia together. Enjoy life!

Dear Ex-Husband,
Your letter truly made my day. It’s funny how perspective works—you say I’ve been married to you for seven years, but calling you a “good man” is stretching the truth a little.

Yes, I watch my soaps—mostly because they drown out your endless whining, though clearly not enough.

Your haircut? The first thing I thought was, “You look just like a girl!” I decided to stay silent because my mother taught me not to comment if I couldn’t say something nice.

The meal you cooked? You must’ve confused me with my sister. I haven’t eaten pork in seven years.

The silk boxers? I turned away because the $49.99 tag was still on them. Coincidentally, my sister borrowed $50 from me that morning.

I still loved you and believed we could make it work. So when I won $10 million in the lottery, I quit my job and bought two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home—you were gone.

Everything happens for a reason, I suppose. I hope you have the fulfilling life you were looking for. According to my lawyer, the letter you sent guarantees you won’t get a dime from me.

Signed, Your Ex-Wife — Rich, Free, and Loving Life!

P.S. One last thing: my sister Carla was born Carl. Hope that doesn’t cause any issues!

The story is a perfect reminder: sometimes the smartest response isn’t anger or tears—it’s wit, confidence, and letting life do the rest.
