CINCINNATI, OHIO– If silence is golden then one wife’s husband takes the record. Jill Young says that it took her 35 years to finally realize that her husband Henry is a mute.<\/p>\n
“I just thought my Henry was a really quiet guy,” said 55 year old Jill to a local reporter with her speechless husband by her side.<\/p>\n
“Now that I know Henry’s a mute it all makes sense looking back. I remember screaming at him so many times because I thought he was ignoring me. I feel so terrible when I think of all the times I cheated on Henry with countless cute men because I thought he wasn’t taking an interest in me.”<\/p>\n
According to statistics, husbands who pretend to be mute are actually a lot more common than most wives think. In a study performed by the Pornographic Studies Institute, 7 out of 10 husbands\u00a0pretend to be mute just so they don’t have to speak to their wives, especially during specific television events.<\/p>\n
“I never heard about that study,” Jill said when asked about whether she thought her husband Henry was faking his mute condition. “The only thing I know is that I love my Henry and I have to make up for the last 35 years that I’ve berated him and also for all the times I’ve filed for divorce. I mean, what was I supposed to do? No woman likes being ignored by her significant other.”<\/p>\n
