“My Husband’s Jaw Hit The Floor”: Wife Throws Rings In The Ocean After Husband’s Cruel ‘Prank’

"Throwing the rings" is actually a pretty normal response to the traumatic end of a relationship. He threw away their relationship, she threw away the rings. It's instinctive, and for those blaming her for throwing away expensive and sentimental rings: the rings are sentimental because of the relationship, if the relationship has just been trashed, that sentiment has been betrayed. Expensive? No one is thinking "This ring is $10k" when they toss it, anymore than she's going to say "how could you cheat? Our wedding dinner cost $120 a plate?". Throwing the rings in his face, out the window, on the ground, etc is normal, they just happened to be on a boat. She made an emotional response to severe emotional pain and shock. In retrospect, yeah, could have sold those. But she wasn't thinking about money, just that he had betrayed her and broken her heart. Doing that "as a joke" is psychological torture. Who deliberately inflicts that kind of pain on someone they claim to love?

I couldn't stay married to a person who thinks that causing emotional pain is a prank. And then calls her names for having a reasonable reaction.

Leave him

Dump him. That's not a "prank", that's mental abuse. [ ................. ] As for "pranks", if someone says "Never do that to me", DON'T DO IT.

Notice that all the comments claiming YTA or ESH are blaming her for having emotions. Typical patriarchal bull***t: women should be meek, mild mannered and composed, while men toy with their emotions w***y-nilly. Dude did a horrible thing just to get her reaction & she reacted. Pretty mildly, if you ask me 🤷‍♀️ She didn't yell, didn't call him names or use violence, she just walked away and threw the symbol of what he just told her she lost - their marriage & love - to the water. And apparently to some it's still "too emotional" 🤦‍♀️

What part of " I had an affair " was meant to be " funny....?? " I mean, seriously, how did he expect his wife to react?? " Lol, you're so funny, I'm glad I married you....?? Her reaction was totally justified, you don't" joke " about having an affair, you just don't, all that " man " has managed to accomplish is; ruining his wife's life, making her lose those rings ( which HE is responsible for, she wouldn't have thrown them in a normal situation....) and ultimately, ending their marriage... Dumb fuc*....

Why would she need new rings? Who the Hell would stay with someone after a stupid stunt like that?

I don't think it was a prank at all. As someone in the Reddit comments touched on, it sounds like he took a calm and serious moment to confess and then immediately backpedaled when she reacted so strongly. Now it's a real mess since he now claims it was a prank and he's in so deep the truth won't ever come to light. She'll never be able to trust him again.

If it's an open sloop, the rings into the water is pretty much inevitable and NAH at all. If she's standing indoors in say a sailboat (with sea level around waist) then yeah you had half a second to realize "he's ballast but these have a value"... yeah I think if you believe him at that moment you'd be so upset you don't think about cost, NAH at all. I don't understand how you can argue about this for days? It's an act that happened in a second, so any analysis that takes longer than 5sec to explain is just a lie --- you did what you did with the info available in that split second.

Maybe they can find some divers with metal detectors that are willing to help. If the ocean isn't too stirred they might still be somewhere around there, and could be found if they are made of a magnetic material. Poor girl

Said it before and I'll say it again: pranks are stupid, full stop. What about this was supposed to be funny? Was he going to laugh if she cried? Or if she had a panic attack? You can't always predict how someone will react to an emotional shock, nor how you yourself might react. Husband is an idiot, and so are the people calling the wife an AH.

And, yes, I really do want to keep my engagement and wedding rings that show the world that I devoted my life to the man who haven to me. They mean everything to me. You had affair?! You trash our relationship like this? This is how I feel about that. Rings go overboard. It's a f***ing joke to you? Go fish!

I specifically have a problem with the ESH responses... A) Everything she did was a response to his a*****e-y "joke." He's the instigator, here. B)There's a difference between dumb and cruel, and being dumb doesn't make you an a-hole: cruelty does. Tossing the rings was a stupid move, but not cruel. And C) there is never an excuse for a "joke" like that. Not ever.

Gaining unauthorized access to a mobile phone typically entails enlisting the expertise of a professional to achieve the desired outcome. While these mobile hacks can yield successful results, many individuals encounter difficulties due to the extensive reliance on the hacker's skills. Unless you possess a comprehensive understanding of hacking techniques, attempting to do it independently is often infeasible. Your optimal approach would be to engage a skilled hacker; I'd like to suggest the services of an individual named Chloe Williams, who aided me tremendously.
