When Abby lost her job, she sought support from her husband, Gregor, expecting him to be understanding. But during Gregor’s 45th birthday party, she discovered his true feelings in a shocking way.

Abby, in her forties, had nearly given up on love after a toxic past. But when she met Gregor, she felt it was a second chance at happiness. Their first year of marriage was blissful, and both thrived in their careers. But everything changed when Abby’s company went bankrupt.

Gregor’s initial support turned to irritation when Abby became unemployed. Despite her efforts to find a new job, Gregor’s disdain for her temporary position as a restaurant cleaner became evident. His comments about her appearance and job were hurtful, revealing a side of him she hadn’t seen before.

Gregor’s birthday bash was meant to be a celebration, but it became the stage for his cruelty. During his speech, he mocked Abby, calling her his “dependent” and expressing regret over his “investment” in her. His friends and family awkwardly reacted, but Abby felt humiliated and furious.

Determined to reclaim her dignity, Abby decided to expose Gregor’s hypocrisy. She revealed to everyone that the funds for the extravagant party came from her savings, not his. She then declared that she would keep the money and walked out, leaving Gregor to deal with the aftermath.

Abby drove to her mother’s house, packing up her belongings and leaving behind a toxic relationship. She was done with a man who showed his true colors in the most public way possible.
