These husbands literally did exactly what their wives asked them to do and we're both laughing and googling their names to make sure they're still alive.

Here's a pro tip: don't ask your husband to buy you anything because you'll never get what you want. If he's given a chance to pun he will absolutely take it. Asking him for an "18 karat" necklace is just an invitation for him to go wild.
