Jake’s Realization
Jake chuckled, thinking Lisa was just playing along. However, as he read the numbers, his smile quickly faded. “Wait… what is all this?” He squinted in shock. “$1,200 for a personal trainer? $700 a month for groceries? What the hell, Lisa?”
Lisa’s Response
Lisa leaned against the kitchen island with her arms crossed. “Well, you want me to wake up at 5 a.m., hit the gym, make gourmet breakfasts, clean, cook, and host your friends. We should budget for all that, don’t you think?”
The Shocking Total
Jake stared at the total. “$75,000 a year? You’re quitting your job?!”
Lisa shrugged. “How else can I follow your plan? I can’t work and be the ‘perfect wife,’ right?”
The Impact of His Words
He glanced at the pages, his confidence evaporating. “I… I didn’t mean…” He stammered, wide-eyed. “Lisa, I didn’t intend for it to be like this. I just thought…”
A Firm Stand
She held his gaze, her voice calm but firm. “You thought what? That I could ‘improve’ myself like a project?” Hurt flashed across her face. “Marriage isn’t about lists or routines. It’s about respect. And if you ever try to ‘fix’ me like this again, you’ll be paying a lot more than what’s on that paper.”
The Moment of Clarity
Jake stood, speechless, finally realizing the absurdity of his own demands.
