The following day she had a “heated discussion” with 46-year-old recruitment consultant Chris, telling him if they were to divorce she wanted a “massive settlement”.
And 24 hours later housewife Felicity hanged herself in the garage of their family home in Blackpool, Lancs, while Chris took the kids to the dump.
An inquest heard Felicity, who previously worked as a resort manager for Thomas Cook, had no history of mental illness or depression. But in 2013 she said she was going to kill herself and took an excessive amount of medication.
The tragedy occurred after Chris and his friends joined millions of armchair boxing fans on April 29 to watch Anthony Joshua take on Wladimir Klitschko.
Chris told the Blackpool hearing: “It was the first time I had friends over to the house and she agreed to it.
“But, after the boxing she came downstairs and went mad at my friends, saying that she wanted to sleep and that they were disrespecting her house.

“We didn’t end up talking about it until the evening on the Sunday. I said to her, 'I think at my age I shouldn’t have to put up with this behaviour, you need to change'.
“But she said, 'If you want to divorce me, I want a massive settlement.’'
“We weren’t having divorce discussions it was something that she had just said - I thought that we were happy.
''It was not patched up but in hindsight there was nothing at all that could have indicated that she was going to kill herself or self harm.''

The following day - Bank Holiday Monday - the inquest head that Felicity told Chris she intended to kill herself.
He added: “I just thought, 'Why would you say something like that in front of the children'. I had said to her, because I had the day off, that we should finish the children’s play area.
“I didn’t want to waste the day and bicker with her and she agreed that was what we would do.

“I went to the tip with the three children about 11am.”
It was then that Felicity took her own life.

Coroner Alan Wilson recorded a verdict of suicide.
