Prank goes wrong: Woman throws wedding rings into the ocean

While pranks can be fun, they sometimes cross the line, causing serious physical or emotional harm. Overstepping with pranks can easily damage relationships. When planning a prank, it is crucial to consider its impact on others and ensure that the joke remains lighthearted and respectful. u/Dry_Cellist2768 shared the story about how her husband played a horrible prank on her that made her lose her precious rings forever. The post has gone viral on the site with 20K upvotes and 6.5K comments.

The 27-year-old described the incident as the "dumbest thing" that had ever happened to her. She revealed that she and her 29-year-old husband were out on their boat together. The woman wrote, "We were just relaxing and talking and having a good morning. Suddenly, my husband gets serious and tells me, 'Baby, I'm so sorry, but I have to tell you something. I'm so sorry, please forgive me, I had an affair.'" She explained that her husband considered himself a comedian, often making supposedly humorous remarks.

However, up until that point, he had never made a joke about their relationship or marriage. The husband delivered the upsetting news so convincingly that his wife believed him. She expressed, "I was blinded by rage and hurt and I'm not a confrontational person at all, so all I did was stand up, take my rings off and throw them into the ocean. I don't even know why I did it. It was just the first thing I thought of doing." Her husband was shocked that she would do such a drastic thing and immediately began to yell at her. The man said it was a prank and accused her of being an "idiot." Equally shocked, the woman yelled back at him.

She shared, "I cried too, realizing I just threw my lovely and sentimental rings into the ocean." Over the following days, the couple frequently argued, blaming each other for the incident's fallout. The wife was confused because she did feel guilty about throwing such expensive rings into the ocean where she would never find them again. However, her husband had told her that he had an affair with such conviction that prompted her to do this. She turned to individuals on the internet to understand if her actions were wrong.

People who read the story defended the woman's decision in the comment section. u/offbrandbarbie said, "Someone who breaks your heart as a 'prank' isn't someone I'd wanna be married to if I were you. You're so young. Don't be stuck with this jerk for the next 50 years. NTA." u/Dazzling-Kitchen-750 pointed out, "Yikes, NTA. He brought up having an affair because he wanted to get a reaction out of you. He got one. He literally said the thing he thought would rile you up the most." Another individual, u/Slight_Perspective, shared, "NTA. I used to be married to a prankster. Then I went to therapy and learned that someone who laughs at your expense is not someone who loves you."
