Marriage can be a beautiful thing, but it can also be a breeding ground for entitlement and ego. When husbands think they’re the kings of the castle, their wives often have to remind them who’s really in charge. From hilarious pranks to clever manipulations, these four tales of marital revenge will leave you in stitches.
The first tale begins with a husband named Jake, who prioritized helping a coworker move her couch over picking up his wife from the airport. His wife, still reeling from a long week of travel, was not amused. She enlisted the help of Jake’s best friend, Chris, and orchestrated a clever revenge plan. Over a romantic dinner, she praised Chris’s reliability, making Jake squirm in his seat. The next time his coworker needed help, Jake suddenly found reasons to stay home.
The second tale involves a husband named Rob, who thought it was funny to mock his wife’s “granny panties” in a group chat. His wife, however, was not laughing. She enlisted the help of Rob’s mom, Patricia, and together they hatched a plan. The wife wore a stunning designer dress and sent a selfie to Rob’s group chat, captioning it “This granny’s got style and her hubby’s credit card.” Rob’s Mustang fund was promptly renamed the “Happy Wife Fund,” and the granny panties were framed as a reminder.
The third tale tells the story of a husband named Pete, who thought he could get away with hosting a Super Bowl party in the bedroom while his wife was sick with the flu. His wife, however, had other plans. She called in the cavalry – Pete’s mom, Eleanor – who promptly took charge and made Pete and his friends scrub the house while the wife rested. From that day on, Pete became a model caregiver whenever his wife was sick.
The fourth and final tale involves a husband named Mike, who ditched his wife on her 30th birthday to attend a concert with a coworker. His wife, however, was not about to let him get away with it. She scored backstage passes to the concert and had the lead singer announce to the crowd that Mike had ditched her on her birthday. The audience roared, and Mike was mortified. From that day on, Mike treated his wife’s birthday like a national holiday.
These four tales of marital revenge serve as a reminder that husbands should always prioritize their wives. Whether it’s through clever manipulations or hilarious pranks, wives will always find a way to get their point across. So, to all the husbands out there, take heed: a happy wife is a happy life.
