When James\u2019s salary doubled, he demanded we split all expenses 50\/50, despite me working part-time at his request. I agreed, but only if we formalized it in writing\u2014what he didn\u2019t know was that this was part of my plan.\n

\n

After our daughter Emily was born, James convinced me to scale back my career for family reasons. For six years, I managed the household while his career soared, but I couldn\u2019t ignore the regret as I watched former colleagues advance.\n

Then James got a promotion, and his salary doubled. He announced we\u2019d now split everything 50\/50. I was shocked, having only worked part-time at his urging. I agreed, and we formalized the deal. Over time, his behavior grew insufferable, and I saw my chance to act.\n

\n

I used my old network to have James\u2019s promotion reversed, and two weeks later, he came home demoted. I revealed that his promotion was thanks to my connections, but when I saw how he treated me, I had it revoked. I also accepted his old position, starting the next week.\n

James tried to revert to our old arrangement, but I stuck to the 50\/50 split. Two years later, our marriage ended, and the agreement came back to haunt him. James learned a hard lesson about fairness, and I made sure he understood what it truly meant.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
