Following his departure in favor of a young brunette, a “savage” wife harshly disciplined her husband.
“Split up? Tell me, John, that you’re not serious. Nicky exclaimed, hoping to live “like a free man,” when her husband declared he wanted a divorce. Declaring her a “dead goat,” John grinned and demanded a just portion of their possessions. “Do you really think I’ll let you off the hook this easily?” Nicky shot back, refusing to give him any money or sign the papers.
John mocked Nicky as he left, using their shared savings for a trip to Mexico. “It’s up to you to decide whether to divorce me voluntarily or keep fighting to make ends meet,” he mocked. He reappeared two months later, pleading for pardon. “I met Madison, a young girl. She stole from me! He admitted, “She stole all of my money.” It was all a set-up, Nicky disclosed, as Maddison was her friend’s daughter who assisted in gathering proof of John’s adultery.
“Take your bags, and get out of here quick!” Nicky bellowed. He received nothing from her divorce. Nicky was backed by their kids, who made fun of John for his treachery.
John’s plot to gain freedom by deceit backfired miserably. Nicky’s faithfulness was rewarded with adultery following 47 years of marriage. But using a cunning scheme, she turned the tables by getting Maddison to set up a trap for John. Nicky refused to give in and got a divorce on her terms when he came back broke and pleading for forgiveness. John regretted underestimating Nicky’s tenacity after realizing how much his failure as a husband and father was underscored by their kids’ support.
