    Every morning, I wake up to the sound of my wife's alarm ringing. She's already out of bed, getting ready for another day at the office. I hear the shower running and her phone buzzing with emails.

    I prepare breakfast for her and the kids. My wife comes downstairs, already dressed in her power suit, ready to conquer the world. She barely has time for a quick kiss before she's out the door.

    I drop the kids off at school and return home to my chores. The house is quiet, a stark contrast to the bustling office my wife is in. I feel like an outsider in my own life.

    My wife controls our lives. She decides everything, from what we eat to where the children study, and even our activities in bed. I feel like I'm losing my identity.

    I remember when we were equals, working in the same industry. We were respected and liked. Then she got pregnant, and I was made redundant. That's when things changed.

    Now, I'm a househusband, struggling to find my place in this new reality. I'm trying to keep up with my wife's success, but I feel like I'm failing.

    It's been four years since I lost my job. My wife then hired me as her assistant. She became my boss, both at work and at home. It's suffocating.

    I love our kids. I understand the importance of what I'm doing. But my wife has changed. She's become bossy and overbearing. I miss the woman I fell in love with.

    I've tried talking to her about how I feel, but she brushes it off. She says that she's just trying to provide for our family. But I feel like I'm being pushed aside.
