Hilarious Re-post. I wonder how true it is? DIVORCE LETTERS FROM HUSBAND AND WIFE (AT BOTTOM) Dear Wife, I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. ... Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and  didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers.  You ate in 2 minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps.
