Husband of the Year Award Not Going to Guy Who Got His Wife Demoted

nootens Published 05/22/2020 in ouch

The only good "Am I the Asshole" (AITA) threads on Reddit anymore are either so ridiculous they must be fake, or so devastating they likely end in divorce or manslaughter.

This one falls into the latter.

When a guy noticed his wife didn't seem happy and wasn't doing as many chores around the house, his solution was to call her boss and let him know that she was being overworked. The boss not only agreed but decided to demote her right away.

After sharing his boneheaded move online, he now not only has all of Twitter and Reddit eager to punch him in the face, but the looming threat of his wife finding out what he did to her.

We can only hope he provides an update when she eventually finds out and exacts revenge.
