Congratulations from the Wife
Partners who have been cheated on find satisfaction out of publicly humiliating the deceiver. Maybe, for women, it’s some kind of girl code and they want to warn the other women in their town before they agree to go on a date with him, and eventually get their hearts broken too.
For the partner, there’s nothing worse than finding out your man has a side chick that’s carrying his baby! This is officially a life-changing and relationship-ending situation. She found no other way to let go than to congratulate the parents to be in a local newspaper, using both of their full names, and signing it as “Patrick’s wife.”
