Waking Up to Self-Respect
Monica worked hard as a project manager, but her husband Aiden never helped at home. One night, after a long day, she came home to his demands and coldness. Feeling tired and unappreciated, she bought groceries alone and cooked dinner, while he ignored her efforts.
The next morning, Monica felt sick, but Aiden blamed her for oversleeping and rushed out. Later, she overheard him whispering on the phone to another woman, trying not to wake her.
That was the last straw. Monica packed Aiden’s things, changed the locks, and faced him when he returned shocked. She told him she was filing for divorce—no longer willing to be treated like a servant.
Despite his threats, Monica was strong. She found peace in standing up for herself and valuing her own worth.
