After a year of maternity leave, I was excited to return to work but found none of my old clothes fit. When I asked my husband, Tyler, if we could use savings for new outfits, he suggested I just become a cleaner instead. He argued I wouldn\u2019t need fancy clothes and it would be easier with childcare.\n
Instead of getting upset, I took his advice\u2014but with a twist. I applied for a cleaning job at his office, where I worked part-time without him knowing. After a few weeks, I confronted him during a client meeting, revealing I had followed his suggestion. Tyler was humiliated, especially when his boss and colleagues learned the truth.\n
As I continued working at the office, I caught the attention of HR, who offered me a marketing position that fit my schedule and paid more than Tyler\u2019s job. At a company event, I showed up in a new dress, announcing my new role. Tyler was stunned.\n
