My Husband Made Me Cook 20 Dishes with a Broken Arm – When I Found Out What He Was Doing at the Time, I Taught Him a Lesson
When Amber is expected to pull off her husband Darren’s perfect birthday while juggling three kids and a fractured marriage, she does what she’s always done — she endures.
Darren treats his birthday like a performance review. This year, he demanded a lavish dinner party with executives, fancy wine pairings, and a menu of twenty elaborate dishes. Amber was expected to cook, plan, host, and care for the kids — alone.
With only one car, Darren refused to drive her to the store or even watch the children. So Amber bundled up the kids and walked. On the way home, she slipped on ice, crashing hard while protecting the stroller. Her arm fractured.
From urgent care, she texted Darren.
His reply?
“So… does this mean you’re not cooking?”
She went home and cooked anyway — one-handed, exhausted, and in pain.
Days later, Darren stayed out late, laughed at secret messages, and wore cologne she wasn’t allowed to touch. One night, Amber saw the truth on his phone: Darren was having an affair.
So she invited the mistress to the party.
The dinner was perfect. The guests applauded. Then Amber raised her glass and told them everything — the fall, the fracture, the texts, and the betrayal.
Silence filled the room.
Then Amber smiled.
“Now, who’s ready for cake?”
And just like that, Darren got his birthday wish — a night no one would ever forget.
