I woke up bald and immediately knew my husband had done it: it hurt, but I decided to take revenge
The morning started strangely. I woke to a cold feeling on my head, and when I touched it with my hand, I froze in horror. Under my fingers – smooth skin. Not a single strand of hair.
My heart was pounding wildly. I jumped out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom. In the mirror, a stranger stared back at me – completely bald, eyes wide open, lips trembling.
‘No…’ I whispered, as tears began to flow on their own.
I went back to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, and buried my face in my hands. My thoughts were tangled. It could have been anything – an illness, a reaction to something… But deep inside, I refused to believe one terrible suspicion – that my husband had done it.
I grabbed my phone and dialed his number.
‘Was it you?’ I asked, my voice shaking.
‘What exactly do you mean?’ – his voice was icy with innocence.
‘I… I’m bald,’ I almost screamed.
He sighed.
‘I’ve warned you several times. In the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the bedroom – your hair everywhere. I’m tired of it, it disgusts me. Now – there will be no more hair.’
Pain and anger tightened in my chest.
‘Are you kidding me?!’ – I shouted, but he was already defending himself, talking about “cleanliness” and “order.”
We argued for a long time. For him, there was nothing wrong with what he had done. For me, it was betrayal.
At some point, I stopped listening. I already knew what I would do. Take revenge. And I did – without a shred of regret. I’m telling my story and really hoping for your support. Continuation in the first comment
First, I took all his clothes out of the wardrobe and burned them in the backyard without hesitation. The smoke rose, and inside I felt a strange sense of liberation.
Then I went upstairs to the bedroom, took his old laptop – the one that had been gathering dust on top of the wardrobe for months and annoying me – and threw it in the trash.
The next victim was the treadmill. It had been taking up half the room for years, just collecting dust. I happily took it apart and carried it to the dumpster.
In the evening, he came home. Hungry, irritated.
‘Why isn’t dinner ready?’ he asked.
I looked him calmly in the eyes.
‘Because I didn’t cook anything.’
He opened his mouth to say something, but I had already packed my bag.
‘I’m tired of cleaning up after you. Tired of enduring. And tired of being with someone who is capable of something like this.’
I closed the door behind me, leaving him in the silence of the empty apartment.
And for the first time in a long while, I felt like I could breathe freely.
