I met my husband when we were both studying. We got hitched while still in school, and before long, we had our first kid. By the time I graduated, I was already pregnant with our second.
I wanted to work, but my husband INSISTED I stay home and take care of the kids, PROMISING I’D NEVER NEED ANYTHING since he would earn plenty. I loved and believed him.
Now, after 10 years of marriage, he tells me if I want to buy something FOR MY MOM’S 60TH BIRTHDAY, I need to get a part-time job and earn the money myself. When I asked why I couldn’t use his earnings, he said IT WAS HIS MONEY, NOT MINE. I was fuming. This wasn’t why I gave up my career.
So, the next day, I decided to show my husband just how wrong he was. WHEN HE CAME HOME THAT EVENING, HE TURNED AS PALE AS A GHOST BECAUSE I.
