She Wanted Me Broken, I Broke Her World

The night before my engagement, my girlfriend Chloe's mother, Eleanor, and her cousin, Sophia, demanded that I undergo a simulated labor experience. They claimed it was a mandatory step for any man marrying into the Jenkins family.

To marry Chloe, I readily agreed.

I endured a three-hour labor simulation.

From level eight agony to level ten nausea and vomiting, all the way to level twelve shortness of breath.

I pleaded with Chloe to stop, but she coldly refused, saying if I couldn't even handle this, I didn't truly love her.
