A man gets ready to go to work, takes one last look at himself in the mirror where he finds a message scrawled in lipstick which reads, “I’ve left your for Ed.”
The message doesn’t seem to upset him in the slightest as he goes outside to find the wedding taking place at his neighbor’s house–he sees Ed in a tuxedo. “I’m marrying your wife today,” says Ed.
The soon to be single man then sees his daughter hanging out with Ed Jr.
Still unperturbed, the guy then says hi to his wife dressed in a wedding gown.
Finally the family dog bolts over to his new family, who are captured in a group shot by a wedding photographer.
Smiling, the guy whose family has left him heads to the car to go to work.

The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."
And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.
Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.
Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.
Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."
It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
