A man, overwhelmed with guilt and nerves, finally decided he had to come clean to his next-door neighbor, Bob. His hands trembled as he typed out the text, convinced honesty was the only way to ease the weight on his conscience.<\/p>\n
\u201cBob, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019ve been riddled with guilt and I need to confess: I\u2019ve been helping myself to your wife when you\u2019re not around\u2014probably more than you.
It\u2019s been incredible and I just couldn\u2019t stop. Sometimes it goes on for hours.
I know it\u2019s no excuse, but I don\u2019t get it at home. I can\u2019t live with the guilt anymore.
Please forgive me. It won\u2019t happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob came storming out of his room like a man possessed, waving his phone and yelling accusations at his bewildered wife. She stuttered, cried, and had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the man watched the chaos unfold through his blinds, feeling his stomach drop as he realized just how badly his message could be interpreted.<\/p>\n Then\u2014another buzz on Bob\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n A second message appeared:<\/p>\n \u201cBloody autocorrect. I meant to say your Wi-Fi!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Silence. And for the first time in history, someone decided that maybe\u2014just maybe\u2014autocorrect really could<\/em> destroy a marriage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A man, overwhelmed with guilt and nerves, finally decided he had to come clean to his next-door neighbor, Bob.

Bob froze.
His wife stopped mid-sob.
The man next door sank onto his couch in exhausted relief.<\/p>\n
