Three weeks before my husband Donald\u2019s 40th birthday, I broke my leg. The doctor told me to rest, but Donald didn\u2019t seem to care.<\/p>\n
He had invited 30 guests to a pool party and expected me to prepare all the food and drinks.<\/p>\n
When I suggested catering, he refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cCatering is too expensive. You can sit down and cook, can\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
So at 4 a.m. on his birthday, I started cooking. Using my crutches, I spent hours preparing appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and drinks while Donald enjoyed himself by the pool.<\/p>\n
Then his mother walked into the kitchen.<\/p>\n
She was shocked to find me working with a broken leg. When I explained that Donald had refused to pay for catering, she quietly walked away.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, Donald started shouting by the pool.<\/p>\n
I went outside on my crutches and saw everyone staring at him.<\/p>\n
Donald was red with embarrassment and soon began to cry.<\/p>\n
His mother had made sure he paid for the way he treated me.<\/p>\n
That was the day I learned karma can arrive faster than you expect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
