A man recently underwent surgery that required general anesthesia, during which he was completely unconscious. When he woke up, he discovered that his phone had received several inappropriate and offensive messages from an unknown number. The messages included a nickname that only a few people know and a text that read, "Loved Saturday and can't wait for you to be in me again." The man had spent the previous Saturday with his brother, as he told his wife, and later received a text from his brother asking, "How's the wife?" The brother later admitted to sending the messages as a prank, intending for the man’s wife to check his phone while he was under anesthesia.
The man described the prank as bizarre and deeply unsettling, noting that it could have seriously damaged his marriage. He explained that his brother had long harbored resentment toward his wife, blaming her for having him removed from their home after he left college. The brother reportedly became angry when the man’s wife suggested she would never believe he was having an affair with someone who spelled as poorly as his brother did. The man ended the conversation after his brother insulted his wife. He has since informed his parents about the incident and said he will no longer visit them while his brother lives with them, as they have repeatedly brought up the situation in their conversations.
The man is seeking advice on how to handle the situation, expressing concern that his actions might strain his relationship with his parents. His wife, on the other hand, has remained calm and supportive, and he is worried about how this incident might affect their marriage. His parents and other relatives, however, believe he is overreacting, often referring to his brother’s "weird sense of humor." The man is now considering taking a temporary break from his family until his brother apologizes and agrees to seek therapy. He is trying to balance his need for emotional distance with the desire to maintain family ties.
