He Thought She’d Cry When He Asked for a Divorce. Instead, She Smiled—and Got the Last Laugh
Going through a divorce is painful, no matter how broken the marriage was. Barbra knew it was coming when Mike placed the keys on the counter and said, “We need to talk.” He expected tears, but she calmly agreed.
During the divorce meeting, Mike coldly demanded everything—house, car, savings—like reading a grocery list. Barbra, seemingly defeated, said he could have it all. Her lawyer stared in disbelief, but she stood firm. All she wanted were her personal things and freedom.
Mike smirked. “You have till this afternoon to pack.”
Barbra left quietly… then laughed in the elevator. She texted her mom: “Get ready for my sweet revenge.”
Mike had no clue her mom helped pay for the house. Years ago, he signed a clause allowing her to live there anytime, for as long as she wanted. That very afternoon, while Barbra sipped coffee in her new apartment, Mike called—furious. Her mom had moved in and refused to leave.
Barbra reminded him of the contract. In the background, her mom could be heard yelling, “Turn off that ridiculous show!” Barbra smiled. Her ex got the house—and her mother-in-law as a roommate.
