But, things went too far last Saturday, and it was a defining moment for both of us!Okay, so to celebrate our daughter’s one-month birthday, we arranged a small get-together at my mom’s place. It was supposed to be a joyful occasion where the people closest to us would finally get to meet Tilly. As the party progressed,
Jake was all over the place. He was busy telling everyone, “I needed this paternity leave because I couldn’t imagine how much more exhausted I would have been working AND taking care of the baby.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, but I had no energy to confront him right there.As I mingled and tried to keep up appearances, my body finally gave in from utter exhaustion. I felt dizzy and clammy, and before I knew it, everything went black.I fainted right there in the middle of the party. I awoke quickly and found myself surrounded by concerned family members. They helped me up, and someone handed me a piece of cake, saying it might help with my sugar levels. As I reassured everyone that I was fine, just tired, I caught Jake’s frown.I wasn’t sure what his look meant, but I sensed he was more worried about his image than my well-being. People kept fussing over me despite my insisting I was okay.
