After her divorce from Matt, Emma was surprised to receive an email from his new wife, Stephanie, with a bill for “expenses caused by me” during Emma’s marriage. The bill included charges like $300 for Matt’s eye doctor visit, $2,500 for a new wardrobe, and $1,000 for a new mattress, totaling over $5,000.
Instead of paying, Emma responded with a hilarious counter-invoice, detailing her own “expenses,” including $30,000 for emotional labor and household management. She CC’d a few friends, and soon, her email went viral.
Matt later apologized, but the whole thing became a joke among their friends, with Stephanie forever known as “the one with the bill.” Emma had the last laugh.
