Ever since my neighbor’s wife got promoted…the kind of promotion that comes with a car and other benefits…she changed completely. 💔💔
She started talking to him anyhow.
She started coming home late.
She stopped cooking.
Recently, something horrible happened.
Her husband was waiting for her downstairs for a lift because they both work in the same area.
She came downstairs, saw him waiting, and clearly and loudly told him, “Get a cab. I’m not driving you to work.”
This was actually the first time he had asked her for a lift since she got the car.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. 🤨
He came to my apartment last night seeking honest and candid advice:
Him: I want to take a loan from my company to get a car.
Me: Why? Don’t tell me it’s because of your wife.
Him: I can’t take the insult and disrespect anymore.
Me: I understand, but calm down first.
Him: Bro, I can’t. Ever since she got promoted, she has clearly forgotten that I was the one who got her the job.
I was and still am taking good care of our home.
I still provide, and mind you, she contributes little to nothing of her money at home.
Me: I feel you, bro, but truthfully you shouldn’t be thinking about taking a loan just to buy a car.
You are not in competition with your wife……
