About

@MarkusJ's "Email to My Girlfriend's Husband" refers to a tweet posted by Twitter user @MarkusJ that included a screenshot of an email sent to his girlfriend's husband discussing moving to the area where she and her husband lived. The tweet was widely mocked online, most notably on Weird Twitter where the lyrics to popular songs were slightly altered with references to the email.

Origin

On April 15th, 2016, Twitter user @MarkusJ (account since deleted) posted a tweet that said "real shit: this is the email i sent to my girlfriend's husband about me moving to the area," followed by an email in which he outlines his passionate love affair with a woman named Laura to her husband (email shown below with a redaction by hipinion[1] user generic).


Mark Apr 5 (10 days ago) I figure if I'm going to be within shooting distance of you, I better try some diplomacy before I arrive I know this is all crazy for you, it's all crazy for me, and it's double crazy for Laura, who is the person I'm trying to protect and accommodate most of all in this process. People fall in love and people fall out of love and love changes all the time, but rarely for one person do they have so many things to consider, so many people to love, give attention to, and please as Laura does It's also rare to come across the one person you truly believe you're meant to be with, and not only have her married and with kids to boot, but also 2000 miles away in another sovereign nation. This isn't a fling or a tryst or an affair, it's two people being bowled over by discovering a deep wellspring of powerful emotions, and a connection that they never thought possible. I don't covet Laura, want to make her mine alone, or steal her away as much as I want to find any way possible to be in her light and warmth, and to nurture her protect her, and grow with her, for me, and everyone else, as much as I can I don't judge people, ever. Laura doesn't badmouth you, you're not some loser guy we scheme against in our private conversations Through everything she's shown that she loves you deeply and wants to continue a large portion of the life you've built together with but also explore and grow in other ways. It was hard for me to accept at first too, but I've done so, because again, she's just that god damned incredible a human being So yeah. That's where we are. I don't expect or anticipate a response, our relationship can be as distant or as friendly as we want going forward, when things are settled and comfortable and people adjusted. Life is crazy, and hard, but most unfair of all, short, and these connections and emotions don't reveal themselves every day, it'd be so self-damaging not to pursue it, it's a thought I can't even tolerate, and I think you'll find Laura feels the same way, and what's more will have the chance to grow and explore in other ways that she can share with everyone she loves Thanks for reading Mark

Spread

Immediately after the tweet was posted, @MarkusJ's followers began to mock him. @ohsnapitsjf[2] was one of the first, harshly criticizing @MarkusJ's email in a series of tweets (shown below).

Meanwhile, Weird Twitter began to mock the scenario by altering the lyrics to popular songs to fit the narrative of the email. Popular examples were tweeted in a thread[3] by @ByYourLogic, @extremelyonlineguy, @rachelmillman, and many more (ex: shown below).

The wide spread of the jokes led to a thread on /r/OutOfTheLoop[4] posted on the 17th.
