My husband Mark had no time to fix our leaking kitchen sink, claiming he was too busy. I had to pay a plumber $180. Later, I found out Mark had rushed to help our neighbor Lily with her sink, even taking his shirt off to do it.<\/p>\n
At a BBQ, I casually mentioned how Mark had helped Lily but ignored our sink, and the tension was clear. Mark was furious when we talked privately, but I told him I was hurt by his actions and dishonesty.<\/p>\n
The next few days, I \u201cforgot\u201d to do things for him, like setting his alarm or doing his laundry. He finally apologized, admitting he was wrong. Now, he fixes things without hesitation. As for Lily? She\u2019s got a new plumber who charges full price and keeps his shirt on.<\/p>\n
