00:00The pregnant woman hoped that her husband, who earned 1 million euros a year, would take a day
00:03off to accompany her to her prenatal checkup. But unexpectedly, the husband first asked her
00:07to compensate for his lost wages, 2,400 euros. At that moment, the woman felt deeply disappointed
00:12in him. Even so, she still transferred in the money. In fact, when they got married,
00:16the husband had proposed a completely equal lifestyle. All expenses split 50-50 under the
00:21pretext of fairness in marriage. The woman thought he was joking and agreed. Even the gift money
00:24they received at their wedding was split equally between them. At first, she even found this system
00:28interesting, like a small seasoning that added flavor to their otherwise dull life. But after
00:32becoming pregnant, she realized her husband took this principle very seriously. Prenatal exam costs
00:36were split. Transportation costs were also split. Her husband drove to work every day in a luxury car
00:41while she had a squeeze in a bus. He ate luxurious meals every day while she, unable to cook due
00:46to
00:46pregnancy, could only eat instant noodles. Whenever someone asked about it, the husband would always
00:50say, we're all adults. Why should I support her? One day after work, the woman's legs were badly swollen
00:55and she felt unwell. She asked her husband to pick her up, but he immediately refused,
00:59saying he had to meet a client. You can take a taxi, we'll split the cost. Furious, the woman hung
01:03up.
01:03The husband sensed her anger, but didn't understand. Since he was willing to pay half,
01:07why was she upset? That evening, after accompanying his client, he happened to pass by the bus stop
01:11where his wife was waiting. She saw him, and when the car didn't even slow down, she was so angry
01:15she almost laughed. After returning home, the husband realized it was impossible to find a taxi at that
01:19hour. Seeing his wife's swollen feet due to pregnancy, he felt a bit guilty. So he took the initiative
01:23and said, this time, I'll go with you to the prenatal checkup and pay for it myself. But the
01:28woman, whose heart was already broken, immediately took out a notebook and recorded the expense.
01:32The husband snatched the notebook. As he flipped through the pages, he saw entries for half the
01:36cost of baby formula, shared prenatal expenses. Every single cost was recorded in detail. He asked,
01:40what does this mean? Do you really think our relationship is just this? The woman replied,
01:44when you drive your car to work, I squeeze into the subway. When I vomit, because of pregnancy,
01:48you only hand me a tissue. When my legs swell, you tell me to take a taxi myself. So tell
01:52me,
01:52what do we have left? Hearing this, he finally realized that the fairness he believed in had
01:56long ceased to exist. At that moment, he felt true panic inside. He thought he could use the
02:00arrival of the baby to repair their relationship. But the woman calmly replied, the expenses for the
02:04child will also be split equally. She explained that she had already bought in advanced diapers
02:08and everything the baby would need. He would just have to pay his share after the birth.
02:11There were also invisible costs. The damaged pregnancy caused to her body, stretch marks,
02:15her altered figure, and the promotion opportunity she lost because of pregnancy. All of these should also
02:19be converted into value. You're the one who taught me that everything must be fair. That night,
02:24the husband couldn't sleep. The next day, seeing his wife preparing baby items, he felt even more
02:27guilty. He immediately decided to transfer her money, but she refused. These things I bought for
02:32my child, they have nothing to do with you. The husband protested, it's my child too. She replied,
02:36a father who wants to split the cost of a baby bed, a father who even calculates lost wages to
02:40accompany his wife to a prenatal checkup. At these words, the husband was speechless. The woman
02:44declared clearly, this child, I'm the one bringing him into the world. He has nothing to do with you.
02:49One evening, the woman suddenly had severe stomach pain. Terrified, the husband wanted to take her
02:53to the hospital immediately, but she insisted on bringing the account notebook. With no choice,
02:57he took it along. After the examination, there was nothing serious, but the hospital deposit was
03:015,000 euros. The woman said, we'll split in half. Write it in the notebook. You pay first. The
03:06husband said nothing. Back home, the woman immediately transferred half the money to him. Looking at those
03:10cold numbers, he felt like their relationship had become nothing more than a creditor-debtor relationship.
03:14That night, he had a nightmare. In his dream, he held his wife in his arms, and she asked him
03:18to pay
03:19for shared body heat. He woke up in shock, determined to fix their relationship. The next
03:22morning, he decided to pay for a very luxurious postnatal care center. The woman said, this money
03:27will be considered an investment in the child. When he grows up, he'll repay you with 5% interest.
03:32Furious, the husband asked, what exactly are you trying to do? She replied, I'm just using a method
03:36you taught me to manage our relationship. Then she left without looking back. At that moment,
03:40the husband felt that he and his wife were nothing more than two strangers living under the same roof.
03:43In the following days, the woman continued to buy groceries and cook by herself. She went to
03:47prenatal checkups alone, doing everything she could on her own. She never asked her husband for
03:51any paid help. The husband felt that this notebook was destroying their marriage bid by bid. One day,
03:55he received a call from his mother. She wanted to come take care of his pregnant wife. The husband
03:59thought this might improve their relationship and agreed immediately. But the woman replied,
04:03if your mother comes to live here, there will be higher expenses for water, electricity, and food.
04:07You'll have to cover them. And if there are conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that
04:10caused me emotional stress, you'll also have to compensate for that. The husband had no choice
04:13but to call his mother and tell her not to come for now. After his wife left, he received a
04:17call
04:17from his company. He had to go on a business trip the next day. But the next day was also
04:20his wife's
04:21due date. He didn't know how to tell her. Filled with guilt, he tried to help her prepare her hospital
04:24bag, but she refused. After he left, she could no longer hold back her tears. She would have to face
04:29childbirth alone. After finishing a business deal in another city, the husband received a message.
04:33His wife had entered the delivery room. Those cold words suddenly reminded him of the happy moments they once
04:38shared. He decided to return immediately. On the way, he was overwhelmed with regret. Meanwhile,
04:42the woman lay alone in the labor room. The husband finally arrived at the hospital,
04:46seeing other pregnant women accompanied by their husbands and men supporting their wives.
04:49He felt like a complete joke. A doctor told him his wife was exhausted and he needed to quickly
04:53buy chocolate or something high in energy. He returned quickly, and soon after, his wife gave birth
04:57successfully. Looking at his son, he felt immense joy. But the first thing his wife said after leaving
05:01the delivery room was, don't forget to send me the bill for the chocolate. At that moment, he no longer
05:05knew
05:05how to fix their broken marriage.
