My sister-in-law is good at making money and knows how to live, but I accidentally heard her complain enough to break my heart.

Everyone has their own pressures. The more successful and powerful a person is, the greater the pressure on their shoulders.

My brother was lucky to have a good wife. He was divorced and had a daughter. His job was mediocre and his monthly salary was unstable. Yet his sister-in-law never criticized or looked down on her husband. She had a very positive outlook on life.

She said that as husband and wife, there will be a fate between them. She lives wholeheartedly for her husband, hoping that the marriage will be lasting and happy.

As a younger sister, I have to admit that my brother has many bad qualities. He is patriarchal, domineering and always irritable with everyone around him. In the past, his ex-sister-in-law also couldn’t stand his personality, which led to the breakup.

My current sister-in-law is very gentle. I have never heard her raise her voice at her husband. She is always patient and cheerful. My mother also has to admire her endurance.

Since marrying her, my brother’s life has improved significantly. She gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. She works as a teacher, writes for newspapers, and sells snacks to students in the evenings. She once said that her monthly salary was four times higher than her husband’s.

In education, she continuously received certificates of merit and was elected to the position of vice principal. Her talent, gentleness, and diligence made me admire and respect her. I always told my brother that he was lucky to marry such a wonderful wife. She was promoted at work, took good care of her family, made good money, and knew how to live, never offended anyone.

Who would have thought that yesterday, while talking to my sister-in-law, I would be shocked to hear her say something like, “I’m under so much pressure. Sometimes I just want to run away somewhere, to a far away place, a place where no one knows me.”

I asked her why she said that and she burst into tears. She said her husband was always grumpy, had a low salary, and an easy job but always whined and complained. He also did not help his wife with housework. She did everything from eating, cleaning, and taking care of the children’s education. She was responsible for the finances and the house, and her husband was always frowning, which put her under pressure. She sighed and said that if it weren’t for her two children, she would have divorced them. Now she lives with her husband for the children, but the affection is gone.

I was extremely surprised and heartbroken by what my sister-in-law confided. It turned out that behind that strong appearance was a whole sky of suffering. Because the one who caused it was my brother. He was truly blessed but did not know how to enjoy it.

What should I do to advise my brother to share and help his wife? My sister-in-law is so depressed, if he doesn’t change, divorce is only a matter of time.
