Viral Letter: Husband Leaves Wife and Child for New York Knicks Game

A letter from a husband has captured attention online, as he announced his intention to step away from his responsibilities as a partner and father to fully immerse himself in watching the New York Knicks face the Boston Celtics.

The opening game of the 79th NBA season is scheduled for October 22, 2024, and one devoted fan is prepared to set aside everything to catch the action.

In the heartfelt yet humorous note, he expressed his affection for his wife and child, explicitly stating he would “not be a husband or father” from the pregame start time of 7 PM until the game’s conclusion that evening.

“You all will be on your own for a few hours,” he declared. “No, I will not be watching our shows with you. No, I will not fetch you a sweet treat. I will not take the dog for a walk. And I’m definitely not putting the kid to bed—my only plan is to relax on the couch with a drink and watch the game. Nothing else.”

His post-script added a cheeky touch: “The kid can stay up past his bedtime only if he’s watching the game with me. Otherwise, off to bed he goes.”

Not gonna lie I was NOT expecting that it had me going the first half. Kudos to you both for having a fun marriage and messing with each other. You need to get him back tho and get us a Part 2!
