After He Left His Wife, Her Lawyer Sent Him a Bill For Years of Housework

Marcia, who had foregone paid work for a few years based upon Charles’ unkept promises and lies, determined that since Charles felt he was owed money in their divorce, she deserved to be compensated for all of her own labor put into the household.

She thus sent Charles an invoice for the ample amount of housework she had been responsible for over the years, which amounted to quite a bit more than Marcia had imagined…

Marcia Was Fiercely Ambitious

Marcia was a fiercely ambitious woman who had grown up in a working class neighborhood in Queens, New York. Her parents had always instilled in her a strong desire to pursue her dreams. She decided from an early age that she wanted to be a business owner and there was nothing that could stop her.

She Worked Hard

She decided she wanted to own her own boutique clothes store one day, so she began working at other people’s stores to learn the ropes. Her parents were proud of her drive and ambition. And although she loved her new career, it did wear her out mentally and physically.

Finding a Balance

Marcia struggled, as her career blossomed, with finding a balance between working hard enough to achieve her goals while also enjoying her life. There were many nights she wanted to go out with her friends but worked late instead. She wondered if one day she would regret always prioritizing work.

Then, Her Life Changed

Then, out of the blue, her life changed. She met a man named Charles who worked in finance. She and Charles seemed to share the same drive but also the same desire for some kind of satisfying personal life as well. They bonded quickly and began dating soon after meeting.
