At My Husband’s Birthday Dinner He Snapped at Me, ‘You’re Living off Me, Eating for Free’ – Then My Dad’s Words Made My Blood Run Cold

At Aidan’s birthday party, I expected warmth. What I got was public humiliation.

He stood in front of our guests and joked, “How much of my money did you spend on today?” Then, louder: “You don’t even have a job or a baby.”

Everyone went silent. My hands trembled holding the tray of appetizers I had spent hours preparing. I wanted to disappear—until my father’s voice cut through the tension.

“She chose someone like you. Now she’s exactly where you wanted her—depending on you.”

My mother joined in. “She cleaned, cooked, hosted. If it’s a job, pay her.”

Aidan smirked. “She should still work and do the house stuff.”

I set the tray down. “I have been working. Remotely. For international clients. And yes, I bought you a gift.”

I handed him an envelope. “A trip to the Maldives. But I’ll enjoy it more—alone. While I’m gone, look over the divorce papers.”

Gasps followed me as I grabbed my coat and left.

That night, I sat in a quiet coffee shop, warming my hands on a cappuccino, reclaiming something small—but mine.

Two days later, I flew to the Maldives solo. I swam at sunrise, walked barefoot, let the salt cleanse what I’d carried for too long.

I came home tanned, clear-eyed, and unapologetic.

The divorce? Swift.

Aidan’s mother scolded him. My cousin told me he’d stood on the sidewalk that night, spinning in place—lost.

I don’t regret leaving. I only mourn the version of him I imagined.

But I’ll never raise a man again.
