Pain is NOT a Competition! 🚫
Our protagonist found himself in an uncomfortable situation when his wife's friends mocked him for his pain, comparing it to their own childbirth experiences. 😡 He decided to stand up for himself, pointing out that pain shouldn't be minimized or trivialized, regardless of the circumstances. His wife, however, didn't support him and claimed he took their jokes too far. 🤷♀️ Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...
