My Mother Found Out My Wife Had Been Treating Me like a Housekeeper Since I Work from Home and Made Her Regret It

Her words were like a balm to my tired soul. For the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful. Maybe things could change. Maybe we could find a better balance.
“I’m glad,” I said, smiling. “We’ll figure it out.”
Over the next few weeks, things began to shift. Ruby followed through on her promise. She cut back her hours at work and started pitching in more at home.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was better. I felt like we were a team again, working together instead of living separate lives under the same roof.
Now, I felt stronger — both in my marriage and in myself. I learned it was okay to ask for help and demand balance and respect. Ruby and I were working on it and for the first time in years, I felt like we were on the same page.
