The Jealous Wife Says "Stay"

This afternoon, a girl friend of mine vented out to me about her annoyance over her brother who will soon become a father a couple of weeks from now. Not my business actually, but I can’t believe how weird this man and his wife think about as a couple.

Anyway, while thinking about what to write, I was reminded of this song by Justine Bieber and The Kid Laroi “Stay,” pretty funny and apt for this story. I wanted to share the original pop version, but my old soul got hooked listening to this cover by Postmodern Jukebox featuring Freedom Young. So, let me park it here so you can listen while reading.

The jealous wife said “stay,” this was the excuse of my friend’s brother why he didn't want to look for work or perhaps make a decent living. My friend has been advising his brother to look for a job ever since his wife got pregnant, of course, as a “soon-to-be” father he needs to fulfill such responsibilities. But, the brother nagged and misinterpreted the sister’s advice. 

I am quite appalled with the great and lamest excuse the brother could come up with. He said that his wife told him that it’s okay for him to stay home and not to work because she is a jealous wife and she hates to hear him see other girls while working. So, it’s fine for the wife to make a living, while hubby is at home playing basketball and mobile legends. Well, this is really fine if the couple has enough resources for the rainy days. 

The wife is a caregiver, and though she got some savings for the medical expenses during delivery, but, how about other expenses? At the moment, she’s on maternity leave for 2 months now,and for sure no work and no pay  for a couple more months after giving birth. How to stretch out the money for daily expenses? 

Just today, the brother wanted to borrow money from my friend to buy spare tyres for his motorbike. However, she refused because she’s thinking that the couple might need additional help during delivery, and she can’t afford to offer more, she has needs too. The pregnant wife instead gave the money for the tyres, and blurted out “I really need to go back to work.”

Now, I hope she realized that living as a couple is a give and take. It’s fine to be sufficient for the family, but there will be instances like now, when she’s pregnant and the priority is to take care of herself and the baby. Her partner should brave up and face the responsibilities. 

Nowadays, there are plenty of jobs for people like him who knows how to drive a motorcycle. Courier companies, fast food chains and delivery services, like Grab and Food Panda, are intensively popular that they employ more and more delivery men who knows how to drive a motorcycle. I'm sure he is more suitable for this kind of job.

Anyway, love is blind. Perhaps this is the situation here.

But, how long will you stay blind and forgiving from your irresponsible partner?

Will you let him stay?

Thanks for reading!

You might think why I'm sharing this here, of course it is something to think about before getting into a serious relationship.

Also, my friend and I agreed that my earnings from this article will be for the baby. Aww, I'm sure he will be a new bundle of joy no matter what...
