\u201cWell, he doesn\u2019t hit you, he doesn\u2019t cheat, he doesn\u2019t drink. What are you complaining about?\u201d I had heard this phrase so many times that I could recite it in my sleep.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My friends, my parents, even my colleagues\u2014everyone repeated it as if it were some universal truth.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I had spent my whole life struggling against this unfairness, questioning it silently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But in the end, I had followed the rules anyway. Because that was what I was taught.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now, with the kids grown and out of the house, it was just me and Tony. And suddenly, the truth was impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t clean well enough.\u201d \u201cYou never learned to cook like my mother.\u201d \u201cYou should do more.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The words cut deep, not because they were new, but because they never stopped.<\/p>\n

I worked just as much as he did. I earned more than him. And yet, after a long day, I scrubbed floors, washed dishes, and folded laundry while he sat on the couch, watching TV, acting as if I owed him something.<\/p>\n

\n

One evening, Tony sprawled out in front of the television again. \u201cCarmen!\u201d his voice boomed from the living room.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I sighed. My hands were covered in flour from kneading dough. I wiped them on my apron and kept working. \u201cWhat?\u201d I called back.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/picture>\n

\u201cCome here! Right now!\u201d he barked.<\/p>\n

\n

I clenched my jaw and walked into the living room. Tony sprawled on the couch, he didn\u2019t even look at me.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d I asked, crossing my arms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He pointed at the television. \u201cWhy is there dust on the TV?\u201d<\/p>\n

I let out a short laugh. \u201cIf you don\u2019t like it, clean it yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Tony scoffed. \u201cWho\u2019s the woman in this house? Me or you?\u201d He shook his head. \u201cI\u2019m tired from work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSo am I,\u201d I said. \u201cI did the laundry. I\u2019m making dinner. You\u2019re sitting there doing nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He waved a hand. \u201cStop making excuses. That\u2019s your duty! Sarah from work has a job too, but she still does everything at home. And she looks amazing, while you\u2014\u201d He gestured at me. \u201cYou\u2019ve let yourself go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The words hit hard. They weren\u2019t new, but this time, something in me snapped. I ripped off my apron and threw it onto the floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
