So Disappointed

I remember telling an older co-worker what happened to me at home. She said, "Don't act like a little girl, you are married now. You need to act like a wife."

I was so disappointed in her when she said that. She seemed to me like a person who took care of herself. She was probably the only black woman I knew who seemed to be doing things the right way. When she said that, I realized that both of us were idiots and that I would get no good advice from her.

I went home and apologized to him.
