After seven years of marriage, a husband decided he was done. He wrote his wife a cold goodbye letter, blaming her for the distance between them. He said she no longer showed affection, didn’t notice his haircut, ignored the dinner he made, and didn’t comment on the silk boxers he wore to spice things up. The final straw, he said, was learning she had quit her job. With that, he declared he was leaving her for her sister and moving to West Virginia.

When his wife read the letter, she didn’t shed a tear instead, she laughed. Then she penned a brutally honest reply. She told him she had noticed his haircut but thought it made him look like a woman. She didn’t say anything to avoid hurting his feelings. The dinner he made? It wasn’t even something she ate anymore, and as for the boxers she’d seen the price tag still on them and knew exactly what he was trying to do.

As for quitting her job, she explained she’d recently won $10 million in the lottery and had actually bought them both tickets for a surprise trip to Jamaica. She had planned to tell him that week. But with him leaving first, she said she was relieved now she had the money, the freedom, and no need to put up with his constant whining.

Then she ended with a twist: the “sister” he had run off with was once named Carl. She hoped that wouldn’t be a problem. With humor and grace, she closed the letter, proving that sometimes the best revenge is simply moving on rich, happy, and unbothered.
