The story of a 'model' husband

(Baonghean.vn) -The truth has proven, no husband is 100% perfect. Gaining one point will lose another!

Since that man brought his wife and children to settle down in my neighborhood, the men in my neighborhood suddenly lost points with their wives and with everyone around them. The women often gossiped among themselves that he was an excellent husband.

He doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't hang out with friends all night, doesn't "womanize". On the contrary, he is a model husband, every time he gets off work, he drives straight home, helps his wife with housework, and takes care of the children. He pampers his children, loves his wife, and is polite to the neighbors...

Just a few women "gossiping" but the news about the image of a model husband spread throughout the neighborhood, making us men "hot-faced".

Since then, whenever we men have any shortcomings or displease our wives and children, they start to compare us. They even lift us up to the sky, while we are pushed down to the abyss.

Many times, we men invited him to drink but he politely refused, making it impossible for us to force him. One man, out of frustration, blurted out: "What kind of man doesn't drink or smoke. Is he worthy of being called a man?"

One day he brought me a bottle of fine Western wine, just to make friends with the neighbors. I thanked him, but pretended to be teasing: "Thanks! The wine looks delicious, but it's a pity I don't have any good friends to drink it with."

Without hesitation, he said something that startled me: "Then open it up, we can have a drink together. Do you have any bait, or should I go home and bring some bait?"

It dawned on me that he hadn't been drinking for so long because he was recovering from an illness. And because he drank too much alcohol, he had to be hospitalized and had to "abstain" for half a year. Now that he was well, he was craving alcohol so much that he invited me over to "drink together".

He was a good drinker, but unfortunately after he finished drinking he couldn't control himself and went home to make a mess of his wife and kids. That day my family got caught up in the mess.

My wife spread the news all over the neighborhood, and after just one day, everyone was disappointed with this "model husband". The truth has proven that no husband is 100% perfect. Gaining one point will lose another!
