One Kidney, Zero Respect

Summary

I donated a kidney to save my mother-in-law.

The day I left the hospital, my wife Eleanor threw a lavish welcome banquet.

Three drinks in, her smirking assistant Chad "joked": "Peter, with one kidney, can you even perform in bed? Half a eunuch now?"

Laughter exploded. My dignity shattered.

I demanded an apology. Eleanor scoffed: "Can’t take a joke? Then get out!" She had security drag me out as guests watched.

Her mocking voice followed: "Who’d want a cripple like him? He’ll beg me back in three days!"

After eight years of apologies, this time I went straight to my lawyer’s office.
