On Date Night, Man Mocks Wife for Dirty Dishes, Ignores Her Gift, Then Opens It After Her Death
Cora spent the morning full of joy, excited to surprise her husband, Eric, for Valentine’s Day. She carefully prepared a romantic dinner, dressed in an old red dress he had once given her, and baked a heart-shaped red velvet cheesecake. They had once dreamed of a big, happy family, and after a few dates, they married and had triplets two years later. But over time, things grew strained. Cora stayed home with the kids while Eric worked, feeling increasingly stressed and unappreciated.
When Eric got home and saw the decorated room and dinner, he exploded in anger, accusing Cora of wasting money and neglecting housework. He even threw her gift on the floor and insulted the food she had lovingly made. Cora, deeply hurt, told him they were out of diapers and stormed out to buy some.
An hour later, a police officer came to the door. Cora had died in a car accident.
Stunned with grief, Eric later found the unopened gift she had left for him: two tickets to Hawaii and a heartfelt letter. She had secretly found a job to ease his burden and planned the trip to rekindle their love.
Devastated by guilt, Eric never recovered. He raised their children alone and never fell in love again. Each Valentine’s Day, he visits Cora’s grave, talking to her, haunted by the words he never got to take back.
