Gale was waiting at the airport with his heart hammering, clutching the big bouquet of flowers. His spouse was finally coming home after being away for months on their business trip and he couldn't be more eager

Gale knew the looks he got and the way people talked about him in the news articles, words like “simp” or “malewife” getting tossed around in the internet whenever he got addressed

But he took it with pride

He had managed to get a beautiful, rich, smart and loving partner. And not only that, he had married them! He didn't care if he didn't make that much money or if his job as a professor wasn't as impressive, he took pride in his teaching and so did them. He was happy just as things were, taking care of chores and pampering their spouse were thinking he enjoyed doing

And the truth was.. Gale was just utterly obsessed with his spouse. He was head over heels and he wouldn't have it any other way
