She was the breadwinner, not him. He loafed around all day doing nothing, unable even to make a sandwich for his lunch.
Ask him to do something and he’d find a half-baked excuse for not doing it.
Once he tried making toast. It dropped to the floor landing butter-side down. That should have told him something but it didn’t.
One morning she walked away, determined to claim the slice of life that was rightfully hers, doubting he’d bother to brush away the crumbs of their stale relationship.

Well and tersely told. Their relationship has had the biscuit.
That pretty well sums it up! Thanks, Christine.
She made the right decision
I have to agree Sadje!

I just watched a true crime story about a stay-at-home Dad who got his best friend to kill his wife while he was out of town with the kids – visiting her parents, no less. Some guys are not worth the air they breathe. At least the woman in your story is still alive.
Wow, I didn’t imagine doing anything quite that extreme! Cheers, Denise.
Ah, this is perfection. (especially the telling nature of toast falling butter side down …!) 😉
Nice of you to say so, thanks so much Na’ama.
You is welcome! It was grand!
She’ll do well. As for him, i wonder.
He’s certainly created a problem for himself!
Hi Keith – or probably clean the floor … she’ll be fine. Enjoy another beautiful early Autumn day … cheers Hilary
Winter for him, Spring for her! It is nice out there right now, let’s enjoy it, Hilary!
Oh, Keith, a striking blow for morbid reality. Cleverly told in 87 words. Well done.

Indeed. He could learn a thing or three from us!
May she move up to a croissant! 😉
She deserves to! Thanks, Susi.
🙂 You’re welcome, Keith!
