I returned to him with a tray of tea and cake. He was sitting flipping through the morning newspaper muttering
The same news nothing new. This country has become so boring.
I replied Thats how a womans life is without work confined to the house between housework raising children and serving her husband. A life like the newspaper the same boring routine every day. The difference is that women do it with love but you read the newspaper out of habit.

A woman's responsibility is to clean the house and take care of the children.
No dear. Women are the equals of men and have the same rights and duties in worship. As for marriage its a partnership between both parties in everything. If women go out to work the husband should share household responsibilities just as she pays half the household expenses. But when she stays at home and he works she should as a favor to him consider his tiredness from work and take responsibility for the house. As for raising children its the responsibility of both husband and wife which is why marriage is called a partnership.

Damn it I didnt own anything back then and I did it as a joke.
But I kept it at first to brag to my friends about how happy I was to keep this paper.
Youre a fool indeed. A fool to trust his wife to this extent.
In a low voice Rather a fool who breaks his wifes trust. Then I raised my voice Yes youre right I was foolish to trust your love for me and give up my dreams and goals to stay with you and support you so you could rise and succeed.
What I have is the result of my hard work and you have no credit in it. Your constant repetition about sacrificing your dreams I never forced you to do this but it was your responsibilities at home and towards our children. I never was and never will be willing to take care
