Divorce or Chore Duty: The Ultimatum

Meet our hardworking protagonist, a 29-year-old woman who’s juggling her online job, childcare, and house chores while her husband works an office job from 5 AM to 5 PM. Despite making the same amount of money, he believes his job is more stressful and shouldn’t have to help out much at home. This has led to weekly arguments and a potential divorce on the horizon. She’s hoping to increase her work hours and earnings soon, but needs her husband’s help in the evenings to make that possible. When she finally gives him an ultimatum – help out or face divorce – he gets mad and tells her good luck, thinking she’ll have a harder time as a single mom.
