Valentine's Day, my wife gave me a custom-made Rolex and a brand new RTX 4080.
I thought she had changed, but the courier said they were delivered to the wrong person! He turned and handed me a men's apron that was snagged for a penny in a flash sale.
"You got your brother-in-law a cheap apron you scored for a penny, aren't you worried he'll be upset?"
"His job is to be a house husband, cooking and cleaning for me every day. Why should he put so much effort into it?"
"Then aren't you afraid Dashiell will be angry that you got him such an expensive gift?"
"He's so obedient, he won't get mad."
I stood there stunned, unable to believe that after I waited on wife's family hand and foot, paid for her siblings' education, and cared for her elderly mother, this is how she treated me!
Dashiell appeared before me wearing the Rolex that my wife had spent a fortune to custom order.
"Brother-in-law, isn't this Rolex nice?"
I didn't even lift my eyes, just turned and walked away.
After leaving the divorce papers, darling was completely panicked.

Wife Gifts Rolex to Lover, I Turn and Walk Away

I just put on my headphones when Faye called. Irritated, I got up to answer, only to be met with a barrage of accusations right off the bat.


"What are you doing? Mom's starving and you haven't made dinner yet. Why didn't you take your brother and sister to school? Don't you know it's Monday?"


"So what if it's Monday? I don't have work or school, why should I get up so early?" I asked her, amused.


Seemingly caught off guard by my defiant attitude, Faye's tone suddenly turned icy. She said through gritted teeth, "Stop messing around or I'll get angry. Go do what you're supposed to do. We'll talk about this when I get home tonight."


"Don't bother. I won't be doing any of that stuff anymore. Just sign the divorce papers already. Let's keep this civilized."


With that, I got up and went to my room to grab my suitcase, completely ignoring my mother-in-law's commands and scolding from her bed.


"You really want to divorce me? Think it through. This isn't child's play."
