I Visited My Pregnant Sister, and When I Saw How Her Husband Treated Her, I Taught Him a Lesson
When I visited my pregnant sister, I was shocked to find her husband treating her like a servant. Determined to change his attitude, I made a bold bet: if he could handle a day of her tasks with a watermelon belly, I’d become his maid for life; if not, he’d step up as a husband. As he struggled through chores, his perspective shifted. By day’s end, humbled and tearful, he apologized, realizing her sacrifices. From then on, he transformed into a supportive partner, helping with everything and proving his newfound commitment when their baby arrived.
