You don't have to go far to find weird people on Craigslist. The missed connections section is packed with creepy voyeurs and soliciting perverts. Amid all the desperate posts we've come expect was a truly original one that caught the attention of users.
In the missed connections section of Craigslist was an open letter written by a husband, addressed to the anonymous man he suspected was sleeping with his wife.
Whether the sock is symbolic of something greater or simply belongs to the guy is never mentioned. My money's on the latter.
Seemingly accepting the reality of the situation, the husband, instead of lashing out at the man, makes a few simple requests he hopes his wife's lover will abide by if he plans to continue the relationship
It's one thing for him use all the toilet paper and drink all the beer, but messing with the kids is whole other story. After addressing a few early housekeeping issues, the husband asks the man to leave his kids alone and to quit whipping the sex off with all the clean laundry, adding that it is he and not his wife who does the laundry.
After asking that he keep his paws off the thermostat, the husband moves on to the topic of food. He asks the man to 1. take over complementing duties; and 2. stop eating his mother's cooking.
The husband's final two points ask the man, who he expects will be spending a lot more time at the house than he will, to work out the kinks in his favorite chair and thanks him for saving him some money.
In a postscript, the benevolent cuckold tells his wife's lover that he'll be taking the kids on a four-day vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge in early April, adding that there's a bottle of vodka in the fridge if he runs out of beers.
Hoax or not, the letter is funny — funnier if it proves to be real. I imagine most people respond to adultery with some mix of rage and sorrow, so this chill guy's open letter is truly a first. One can only hope it all works out for the best in the end.
