^ It would torture him indeed, lol. And I'm not suggesting that Gullible use the "I'm too exhausted honey" excuse all the time. But if she uses it often enough.....would that perhaps make him reconsider the maid issue?? It baffles me as to why a husband would make such a big deal over getting help for his wife....who is ALSO the mother of his child.
Obedience toward one's mom is good......but blind obedience is not a virtue....especially when it blocks common sense.
If a husband doesn't support you at all and listens to others back-biting about you continuously, then that torture is perfect for him! Lol! Of course it won't necessary solve the problem sadly, but he needs to start realizing that he has to take care of his wife and baby as well and put a stop to others talking so rudely about his wife.
Gullible - Why can't your Husband help you take care of your baby? Does he work long hours or something? You could ask him to look after little one while you take a nap for an hour or so. It would make life so much easier for you if he did this. Again, he could look after baby while you have a shower, without you having to rush yourself or you could go out and pamper yourself with a facial at the beauty parlor. Ask him to help you out so that you can feel healthy and happy.
