My wife ignored my messages all day. at 11:00 p.m., she finally came home and smirked. ‘you know what happened? i had a one night stand with my boss and i’d do it again.’ i just nodded and finished my meal in silence. the next morning, when she woke up expecting coffee in bed, she got.

At my wife’s company dinner, my wife’s coworker was laughing. “How does it feel to be a loser? Your wife is the breadwinner of your home.” Everyone laughed, including my wife, except me. I just smiled and asked the CEO, “How does it feel to know that this loser owns 90% share of your company?” The moment I said those words, his face turned pale.

My son called me crying on his graduation day. His mother cut up his cap and gown. She left a note: “You’re not my son anymore, failure.” He wanted to skip the ceremony — but I looked at him and said, “Get dressed. I have a plan…” When they called his name for valedictorian, the auditorium erupted. His mother’s face went pale when she saw.

My wife went on a girl’s trip with her rich friends and came back pregnant by her best friend’s husband, but her face froze when she…

My wife told her friends i was obsessed with her because i asked her not to flirt with guys at parties, then she kissed her ex right in front of me as a joke while her friends filmed and said i deserved it, posted stories dancing with random guys after i walked out, showed up drunk at 3:00 a.m. saying every girl cheats, and by noon my phone was flooded with more than twenty panicked voice messages from her begging me to answer.

For my birthday, my wife left a frozen pizza on the counter and sent a congrats text to me. a week earlier, my wife and her friends threw my best friend a backyard bash with fireworks and a drone photographer. when i asked why, my wife shrugged, ‘you’re not really the celebrating type.’ i didn’t reply. i didn’t eat. i just grabbed my bag and walked out the door. that night, my wife’s texted, ‘why is everyone freaking out?’
