Edith called her husband to tell him that her mother had died. They were in the hospital because of her mother’s pneumonia. During the night, she had died in her sleep. John came to the hospital after Edith informed him. She was devastated and had to be taken home. When the morning came, she was planning things in the kitchen. Then she realized that her vacation would have to be canceled. She told her husband that the funeral would be the next week and that they should cancel their vacation to Hawaii. John was frustrated. He explained that their tickets were non-refundable and they would lose thousands of dollars.
Edith was shocked: “John, my mother just died,” she said. He then said that he was just her husband and that no one would miss him at the funeral. Edith couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “Just my husband?” John said that he didn’t handle such emotional things well. He left a day before the funeral.
While Edith grieved, John shared pictures from his journey. He was living life. Edith then called her realtor friend. She asked her to put the house up for sale and add that the car comes with the house. The car that John loves, his pride. When John arrived two days later, he was shocked to see people checking out his car. He went inside and yelled at Edith. She then explained that she was selling the house and the car was a great way to increase the price. John still couldn’t understand what he had done. How awful he was.
While John continued to yell, Edith said, “After all, I’m just your wife. No family, remember?” She then handed him the divorce papers. John was shocked. In the divorce, Edith took everything. The car, the house. John was left with nothing. What do you think? Let us know.
