A Birthday Gift Gone Wrong

On my birthday, my husband gave me a shower gel.

We didn’t have any financial issues, so I was really offended even though I didn’t show him.

I made sure his business was doing well and that we had enough cash on hand for him to get me at least a bunch of flowers.

He was aware that I detested that scent after I took a close look at the gel. I eventually broke down in tears and flushed the gel down the toilet.
