Man writes 'completely honest' letter to wife before Knicks 24-25 season - 'I will not be a husband or father'

Marriage is supposed to be the unity of individuals. This means sharing the ups and downs, the challenges and the blessings that come together. A woman, @JoyyUnspeakable, had these things working wonderfully for almost 11 years until she woke up one morning to find a baffling letter from her husband. Sharing the same in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the woman couldn’t help but express her shock and speechlessness. The husband had written her a letter ahead of the Knicks 2024-2025 season. Everything he shared about the game and his relationship with his wife and family left every jaw dropped, only to end in a laugh riot.

“Ladies … choose yourself. I woke up to this nonsense after almost 11 years of marriage,” the woman wrote in her caption. Sharing the letter, it began with “Dear Wife.” The woman was distressed upon reading the first quarter of the letter. The husband assured his wife of his love and that she “meant the world” to him. He added that he had to come clean with some things. “I owe it to myself and you to be completely honest with you. I have to come forward with my truth. I hate to do it this way but it’s now or never because what I’m about to say has to be said,” he wrote. Every person reading so far was worried sick. 

The husband then revealed that the Knicks games were beginning on that day and that he’d be watching the game. Wondering how these details connected with the horrifying paragraph above, the wife kept reading and found an ironic connection. “That means that from 7 pm (that’s when pregame starts), to whatever time the game ends, I will not be a husband or a father. Y’all are on your own for a couple of hours,” the dad mentioned. His priceless letter had everything he would “not” do jotted down loud and clear. This man loved his family unconditionally, but he hilariously ensured his family knew he would not so much as lift a finger or an eye while being focused on the game. 

“No, I will not watch our shows with you. No, I will not get you something sweet. I will not take the dog out. I will not get the kid in bed either. I will sit on my couch, drink in hand and I will watch the game. That's it,” he clearly noted. However, he adorably stressed, “This doesn't mean I love you guys any less. It just means tonight is not about y'all. It's about ruining the Boston Celtics ring ceremony." He added that the "rest of the season is negotiable," until the playoffs, during which he "will have to abandon y'all again temporarily.” And there was more. “Just call me if you need me. I look forward to seeing and talking to you later. AFTER the game, that is,” he wrote.

He also added a note at the end saying, “The child may stay up past bedtime only if he watches the game with me. If he doesn't, then off to bed with him. Thanks.”  The dad laid his agenda most creatively and hysterically and we can’t help but applaud. “I won’t even lie … he had me nervous at first, then I laughed so hard … this made my morning,” the woman mentioned in a thread. @TheJoeySwoll wrote, “I was not expecting that it had me going in the first half. Kudos to you both for having a fun marriage and messing with each other.” @merkyou81 exclaimed, “Look at that king communicating!”
