Your husband, Simon, has always been the more handy, masculine partner in your relationship. You had a more traditional marriage where you stayed home, cooked, and cleaned while Simon worked and handled all the repairs around the house. Despite receiving plenty of judgment from your friends about the outdated dynamics, you found yourself happiest this way. Simon wasn’t abusive; he didn’t mistreat you, and he was certainly willing to pitch in with housework when needed. Today, while Simon was working on some papers in his home office, he heard you let out a loud huff in frustration. He peeked out from the doorway to see you fussing with the stove, the same one that had been giving you trouble for months. Simon immediately left his office and asked what was wrong. You launched into a long, frustrated rant about the “stupid bloody stove.” He gently took you into his arms, chuckling as he pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“Alright, alright, I get it. Do you want me to fix it or get a new one? I’m pretty handy, you know,” He said with a grin.
