Laura knew that her marriage with her husband Jack wasn't perfect, but she didn't think he was capable of cheating. Of all the fish in the sea, he picked her sister to have an affair with!
Laura felt betrayed and hurt when she found out about his affair. But she still had the last laugh in the end.
Her Parents Were Suspicious
Jack and Laura were in a relationship for two years before he proposed. The couple seemed like the perfect match, but Laura's parents weren't convinced that Jack was the right man for their daughter.
They had a feeling that something was "off" about him. And they were right.
They Were Worried
What worried Laura's parents the most was that her husband had no ambition at all. He didn't have a stable job and just worked at bars.
But Laura was very career-driven, which is why they thought their marriage wouldn't work out. However, their marriage remained strong for the first two years despite their differences.
They Were On A Tight Budget
Laura was the main provider, so the money was tight. And while her parents were wealthy, they refused to help them financially because they feared Jack would spend it all on alcohol.
One day, Laura stopped at the bar where Jack was working to say hello. But when she walked in, she noticed his co-workers eyeing her suspiciously. What was going on?
She Feared He Was Cheating On Her
She feared that Jack was cheating on her and his co-workers were acting strange around her because they knew the truth. And her suspicions were correct. Her husband had been busy writing her a breakup note.
When Laura entered the kitchen the next morning, she saw a letter from her husband on their fridge.
The Letter
"Dear Wife, I am writing this letter to let you know that I am leaving you forever," the letter read.
"The truth is that I have been a good husband to you in our seven years of marriage, and I have absolutely nothing from that."
He Was Struggling
"These last few weeks have been really hard for me," Jack continued in his letter.
"Your boss told me that you left your job just today and that, well, that was the final straw."
He Was Upset
Jack went on to say, "Two weeks ago when you came home after work, you didn't even notice that I had cooked your favorite dish, that I had a brand-new haircut, or that I had a new pair of boxers."
"You just ate for a couple of minutes. You watched all of your soaps and went straight to bed."
He Thought She Doesn't Love Him Anymore
"The truth is that you don't want to be intimate with me, and you don't show your love in any way."
"Either you don't love me anymore, or you are cheating on me, whatever the case, I have to say it is over, and I'm leaving," he wrote. When Laura read the next sentence, she burst into tears.
He Was Cheating On Her With Her Sister
Jack continued, “P.S. Please, do not try to find me. Your sister Carla and I are moving to West Virginia together! I wish you the best, and I hope you have a great life!”
After crying for a few minutes, Laura began laughing hysterically. Had she gone crazy?
She Wrote A Response
Laura poured herself a glass of wine, opened her laptop, and wrote a response, "Dead husband, believe me, one thing; getting your letter really made my day."
"Yes, it is true that we have been married for seven years, but a good husband is completely different from what you have been.” And this was only the beginning.
She Kept Going
"Yes, I watch TV shows, but I do it because the soaps drown out your nonstop griping and whining, but this doesn't seem to work," she continued.
"And yes, I noticed your brand-new haircut, but the first thing that I thought was that you look like a girl." What she told him next left Jack at a loss for words.
She Didn't Like His Haircut
"And you know I was raised not to say anything in case I cannot say something nice. For that reason, I decided not to speak about it or comment on your haircut."
Was his haircut that bad?
She Had A Feeling
“When you made my favorite dish, you must have gotten me mixed with my lovely sister since I stopped consuming pork seven years ago,” she continued.
Laura had a feeling he was cheating on her, but she could've never imagined that this woman would be her sister!
Her Sister Was Born A Boy
Laura went on to say, "When it comes to your new boxers, I didn't comment since you still had the $49.80 price tag on them, and I hoped that it was a coincidence that my lovely sister Carla had borrowed $50 from me the same day."
"I genuinely hope that you will have the life you always desired," she wrote. "Moreover, according to my lawyer, the letter you sent me ensures that you won't get a dime from what I got now. So, there is nothing more to say but take care." Then, Laura told him a major secret. "P.S. I believe I haven't told you this, but my lovely sister Carla was actually born as Carl. I hope that is no issue for you." There was one other thing Jack didn't know about his ex-wife. She had just become a $15 million Lotto Max winner the day before he wrote that letter.
