MY HUSBAND AND SON DEMANDED I CLEAN UP & SERVE THEMBy our 5th year of marriage, my husband started mocking me for not doing enough housework….
Samantha, a successful steamfitter earning over $100 an hour, faced a shift in her marriage when her husband Ben, influenced by sexist coworkers, began treating her as a servant. His disrespect worsened when their son, Terry, started mimicking his behavior. Samantha, fed up with the chaos and dismissiveness, took a break, staying with a friend and ignoring Ben’s calls. During her absence, Ben realized his mistakes and sought forgiveness, even involving Terry in apologizing. When Samantha returned, both men were on their knees, offering gifts and pleading for forgiveness. This marked a transformative moment, as Ben and Terry learned to value and respect Samantha. The family dynamic shifted from conflict to cooperation, and Samantha’s story highlights the power of self-respect, love, and forgiveness in relationships.
