At home, Lisa was the primary earner, and though that had never been an issue before, Tom had recently begun pressuring her. \u201cYou don\u2019t even leave the house to work,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can\u2019t possibly be as tired as I am at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019re a mechanic, Tom,\u201d Lisa replied, frustrated. \u201cYou own your own shop, and you take three days off because you have employees handling everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tom dismissed the conversation, but the topic kept resurfacing. Lisa confided in her mother during a lunch outing, admitting she didn\u2019t understand why Tom was pushing her so hard. They weren\u2019t struggling financially, and his business seemed to be doing fine. \u201cHe\u2019s always hiring new staff and the shop is busy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe his business isn\u2019t doing as well as you think,\u201d her mother suggested.<\/p>\n
Lisa shrugged off the idea, though the thought lingered. Everything seemed fine, yet Tom was relentless about her getting another job. His latest demand came during dinner one night when they were discussing getting a new car.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to get that second job, Lisa,\u201d Tom insisted, cutting into his steak.<\/p>\n
Lisa was incredulous. \u201cWhy me? I already work long hours, and by the end of the day, I\u2019m exhausted. Plus, I handle everything else\u2014cooking, cleaning, errands.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cYour job is easy,\u201d Tom shot back. \u201cYou don\u2019t even leave the house. I\u2019m the one crawling under cars all day.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Lisa suggested that he get a second job since he had three days off each week, Tom\u2019s response stunned her. \u201cThen I\u2019d miss bowling with my friends!\u201d he said, as if it were the most obvious reason in the world.<\/p>\n
Annoyed but determined, Lisa told him she\u2019d look for a job. Little did Tom know, she had a plan in mind.<\/p>\n
The next day, Lisa applied for a job at the bowling alley Tom frequented with his friends. She figured that working there would annoy him enough to regret ever asking her to get a second job. On her first day, she put on the tight, short uniform required by the bowling alley, knowing Tom wouldn\u2019t be pleased.<\/p>\n
That evening, before Tom left for bowling, Lisa casually asked if he wanted to have dinner at home before he went. \u201cSure, make some fish and chips,\u201d he said, not looking up from his phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee you there,\u201d she said with a smile, leaving him confused but shrugging it off.<\/p>\n
At the bowling alley, Lisa served drinks and snacks while keeping an eye on Tom, who bowled alone, unaware of her presence. As the night wore on, men at the alley began hitting on her, and Tom finally noticed her in the revealing uniform. His face darkened, and he stormed over.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell, Lisa?\u201d he demanded. \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m working, Tom. You wanted me to get a second job, remember?\u201d she said with a smirk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t what I meant!\u201d he yelled, furious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
