You don't get it. Here's how it works.

My husband really loves me. Once we went on holiday and had a marvelous time. I had to save and pay for it, but I think that's fair: just like he says, he can only be a good husband if I support him. He's often gone for weeks and leaves me to care for everything, but he's doing the best he can. He just gets so much flak from his brother at the family business that he can't do any better! The company is doing well but my husband says that money needs to go to their investors, so I'm working two jobs to support us. He's asked me to start an OnlyFans so he can afford a car to help his new lady friend! He's so sweet.

Not all of his family is as great as him, though. His brother treats me poorly, taking money from our home and telling me I need to submit to my husband and home school the children from the Bible. My husband told me that his brother is going through a hard time and if we pushed back too much it could wreck the family business. He told me I need to try harder so he can try to protect me and that if I don't support him no matter what, it'll get worse and I'll have nobody to blame but myself. His friends and family all agree. They're so smart!

I'm trying harder. It seems worse, but he says we're almost there and I just have to give it my all! When it seems too difficult, I remember that glorious holiday. He surprised me with a stay at one of America's finest luxury resorts: the Motel 6 in Jacksonville, Florida! They even had a pool! My favorite memory was when he brought me a gourmet meal made by Ronald McDonald, an American celebrity chef, and let me stay all by myself while he went boating with his mates. I even saw in his email that they paid a real escort service to take them! I saw on its website that even the fishing guides are beautiful in America. He came back tired, sweaty, and smelling of fish. He said they lost the catch, but they tried again the next day, this time with different guides! My man never gives up!

I know things will be better like that again. Someday. I just have to try even harder, no matter what.
