Edith’s world was shattered when her mother passed away due to a lung infection. She called her husband, John, to break the devastating news. John arrived at the hospital, and Edith was grateful for his support. However, her gratitude was short-lived.
As they planned the funeral, Edith mentioned that they would need to cancel their upcoming vacation to Hawaii. John was frustrated, citing that their tickets were non-refundable and that they would waste thousands of dollars. Edith was taken aback by his response, feeling that he was prioritizing their vacation over her grief.
The conversation took a turn for the worse when John claimed that he wasn’t good with emotional situations and that nobody would miss him at the funeral. Edith felt hurt and betrayed by his words. To make matters worse, John left for their vacation a day before the funeral, leaving Edith to grieve alone.
While John was living it up on his trip, Edith was planning her next move. She contacted her realtor friend and listed their house for sale, including John’s beloved car as part of the deal. When John returned two days later, he was shocked to find people viewing their home and checking out his car.
Edith remained calm and collected, explaining that she was selling the house and that the car was a great incentive to attract potential buyers. John was still clueless about the pain he had caused Edith. As he continued to yell, Edith handed him the divorce papers, leaving him stunned and heartbroken.
In the end, Edith took everything in the divorce – the house, the car, and her dignity. John was left with nothing but the realization of his heartless decision.
