Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A ROMANIAN man thought he'd done the right thing over the New Year holiday when he gave his wife lacy black underwear for her 35th birthday.
But his wife, identified only as Victoria in the Romanian newspaper publishing the story, became suspicious when she discovered the gift was three sizes too small. Then, at her birthday party, Victoria overheard another woman saying she had received, as a gift from her lover, underwear that was three sizes too big.
Victoria's husband told her the shop had packed the wrong size of knickers for him but, unsatisfied, she visited the boutique in their home town of Galati, 125km north-east of Bucharest, where a salesman told her a man had bought two sets of lacy underwear.
On Monday, Victoria went to see her husband's lover and proposed that they swapped the underwear, which they did. Then she went to court and filed for divorce. (AP)
