Nagging wife put up for sale

March 13, 2009 8:26am CST
A British builder got so fed up with his wife's nagging that he put her up for sale in a trade magazine. It all came to a head when she snapped at her husband while watching Dancing on Ice on telly. He placed the advert in trade-it magazine. The ad read "Nagging Wife. No Tax, Not MOT. Very high maintenance - some rust." He put it in the free to collector section. He was inundated with calls from men offering to take her off his hands which surprised him as he didn't think anyone would ring. His wife laughed at the anonymous advert at first before finding out that it was about her. She did forgive him in the end, but not before giving him a ear bashing, but is now out for revenge. Here is the full story: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090313/tuk-nagging-wife-up-for-sale-dba1618.html How many of you have been tempted to do the same and if so how would your ad read? Would you forgive your significant other if they done it to you?

Hey littleone! I know this is a joke, but I don't really think that it is funny when you really think about it. They have only been married for one year and it isn't the first marriage for either one of them. If this keeps up I don't know if their marriage will really last or not! It might start out as a joke now, but there is alot of underlying truth to this and it might come out later on in this not so perfect marriage. I hope that they make it!

It doesn't sound like a good basis for a marriage either to me. I hope they make it as well.

I think if Hubby did that with me, he'd better enter the Witness Protection program b/c he'd be in big trouble. I wouldn't do something like that...if I was that fed up with him, I'd divorce him and find someone new. Good thing I love him and we get along pretty good.
