🇧 My husband humiliated me in front of everyone because he thinks I’m not as good as this woman!
I’ve been married to Jason for six years. We have three kids — two in school and an 8-month-old baby. Earlier this year, Jason got laid off. He told everyone it was “temporary,” but months later, he’s still “looking for the right opportunity.” Meanwhile, I’ve been the one holding everything together — working twelve-hour shifts at the hospital (I’m a nurse), cooking, cleaning, and waking up at night to feed the baby.
