He Asked for 50/50 — I Delivered, to the Decimal

When James’s salary doubled after a big promotion, I expected celebration — not a demand. He sat me down and said, “We should start splitting everything 50/50 now.” I was blindsided. I’d been working part-time — at his suggestion — to care for our daughter, Emily, and keep the household running. Still, I agreed, on one condition: that we put it in writing and get it notarized. He smirked and signed without hesitation.

Over the next few months, James began living like he was single and untouchable — custom suits, private clubs, fine dining. I was no longer invited to anything; he said I didn’t “fit the image.” Quietly, I kept our home running and updated my resume. Through my network, I landed a full-time job — at the very firm James once bragged about. In a sharp twist, I replaced him after his unexpected demotion.
