Surrogate And Wife (2006)
“She worked long hours, which Jake, of course, had expected. She went to the gym almost every day for prenatal workout and yoga classes. And when she was home, she spent most of her time in her room, “resting,” she claimed, which made sense, because he knew pregnant women needed lots of sleep.
All of that he could put up with. If only she’d let him help her. With anything. But she wasn’t letting him.
He’d offered to help with her laundry. She’d refused and started sending it out to be done. He’d tried to cook dinner for her in the evenings. She insisted on eating microwaved frozen meals.
