In the following story, one confused man is in this exact situation and plans a bittersweet exit. Here’s what he’s doing.

Gonna eat my anniversary cake

My wife of 7 weeks forced me into divorce and won’t give me a reason.

She turned her family on me, and as a supervisor at the company we both work for, my future there is toast.

So, I’m losing my wife, my job, and my home (our apartment) in one fell swoop.

He’s leaving to get away from her, but not before he does a few things.

I’m leaving town to get away and have just started thawing our top tier of the wedding cake. I’m going to eat what I can and leave her the tainted scraps.

I’m also throwing away her wedding bouquet, which she was drying.

She gets to keep nothing from that day.

Wow! What a sad situation to be in.
