A husband came home looked at his wife and said: “I am sorry I have fallen in love with another woman. I am divorcing you.”

The wife cried: “After twelve years of marriage, don’t you think we should try to work it out. Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?”

The husband replied: “It just happened, and I love another woman. My girlfriend loves this house. Therefore I will get the house after our divorce. Of course, I will give you time to evacuate.”

The wife had to do something about all these shocking unfairnesses. She filled all the curtain rods in the house with raw fish and shrimp and left her beautiful home with many great memories for her husband and his girlfriend.

The husband moved in with his new woman to start a passionate life. Days passed and a strange smell spread in the house. Months passed, and the smell was unbelievably horrible. The husband brought so many different experts and they had many different opinions, and to do each, cost him lots of money, he even changed the carpets to the hardwood floor but the smell was still there.

He practically renovated the whole house but the smell stayed strong. The girlfriend spent a fortune on clothes, shoes, jewelry, restaurants, and travelling, so the husband was in so much debt, that the bank put the house on the market. There was no other way. He had to sell the house, but no one liked the smelly home.

The first wife called the husband and said: “I have missed our house and am willing to buy it for the price you owe to the bank.”

The desperate husband accepted the offer which was less than half the price of the house’s actual value.

 When the first wife signed the contract told the ex-husband: “As an appreciation, I would like you and your girlfriend to take all the furniture, even the curtain rods.”

  27. This is as beautiful as it can get. In our culture, there is a saying Juta bhinga kar marna ( hit with wet shoes) and it’s meaning you get hurt a lot and it does make a sound.

  28. She gave him her heart, and years of love, but just gave her fishy excuse. But in the end, she came out, smelling like a unforgettable rose! A lovely share!
