Lisa Thompson, an accountant in Santa Clara, California, managed both work and housework efficiently. She would wake up at 5 a.m., cook breakfast, go to work, and return home to prepare dinner. Her husband Chad was initially supportive, but things changed after Lisa gave birth. Chad began mocking her, calling her lazy and criticizing her weight gain.
Lisa took a break from work to care for their babies, embracing her role as a housewife. Chad, however, accused her of using the children as an excuse to avoid work. He mocked her, saying, “All you do is sit on that couch and chill, Lisa. At least start working out! Just look at how much weight you’ve gained after pregnancy!” Lisa felt unappreciated and depressed but hoped things would improve.
One day, Lisa collapsed from stress and weakness. At the hospital, Chad found her diary and read about her struggles and efforts to lose weight. He realized his mistakes and felt guilty. Lisa had written, “I feel very self-conscious. Is Chad really falling out of love?”
Chad decided to change. He visited Lisa with flowers and apologized, saying, “I was mean to you and said things I shouldn’t have. I’m sorry! You are beautiful the way you are.” After Lisa returned home, Chad treated her with love and respect. He helped her, took her out on weekends, and always told her, “I love you for who you are, honey.”
