I found myself in the midst of an argument with my wife, and neither of us was willing to back down. As our exchange continued, her frustration escalated until she fell silent, shooting me a glare filled with anger.

I couldn't help but stay silent; I knew better than to argue with my wife. She held the reins in our relationship, and when she got angry, it was best to keep quiet.

Despite being a lawyer accustomed to winning cases, I've never been able to win against my wife.
