They say power reveals character. When my husband got his first taste of authority, it didn’t just go to his head — it went straight to our home life. So I reminded him exactly who he married.
I never thought a raise and a shiny new title would turn my husband into royalty — but here we are.
He was promoted to assistant warehouse manager three weeks ago, and ever since, he’s been walking around like he’s the CEO of a huge corporation.
Meanwhile, I’m managing a behavioral disorders facility, juggling crisis calls, paperwork, and emotional breakdowns for 50+ hours a week. But apparently, his job is the only one that counts.
Now he demands silence on his days off — yes, demands. He told our four-year-old to “stay in her room” because her footsteps were too loud.
He expects hot lunches the moment I finish feeding her, only the meals he likes, mind you. He treats me like his servant: “Grab me the remote,” “bring me a drink,” “rub my back,” even at 2 a.m.
But last night? Last night broke me.
I was in bed, scrolling through my phone, trying to decompress after a 12-hour shift.
He walks in, flops onto the bed, and without a glance says, “Babe, you should go make me some ice cream. I want the chocolate drizzle on it. And oh, don’t forget the cashews.”
I blinked.
Said nothing.
Then he shook my leg and repeated, “Did you hear me?”
I looked him dead in the eye and said, “Yeah. I heard you. And no.
Go make it yourself. You were literally just out there. Your sense of entitlement is way out of line.
Do it yourself.”
His response? Predictable.
