The diagnosis said my wife had worked too hard and exhausted herself to the point of bleeding.
I was furious and asked her for a divorce.
Lying on the hospital bed, my wife looked pale and, after a while, said in shock, “I worked so hard that I started bleeding. You didn’t even care… and now you want a divorce?”
I nodded, “Yes.”
My wife’s eyes immediately filled with tears. “I gave birth to our child, worked late every night and because I didn’t have time to take care of the child, you want to divorce me?”
I stayed silent, insisting on the divorce.
When my mother-in-law heard, she rushed over and slapped me on the spot.
“My daughter has treated you so well! Back then, you didn’t even have a house—it was our family who paid the down payment. She worked herself to exhaustion to pay the mortgage and now she’s in the hospital from overwork!”
“You ungrateful man! Do you have someone else and now you’re using this as an excuse to divorce?”
My wife’s eyes turned red, mist forming as she looked at me. “You want a divorce just because I work overtime every day to earn money—is that fair to me?”
