Sweat
I enjoyed this story. In a way it goes to show you what goes around comes back around. In sweat Skye and Delia have been married for 15 years and all he ever did was abuse her and cheats on her, and he has the nerve to do it right in front of her face. I think after years of dealing with all the pain and heartache Skye has put Delia through she kinda had enough and started to find her voice. She's hard working and he has no respect for what she does even though she's been working the same job for 15 years. She buys everything and here you kinda see the role change where Delia is the bread-winner. I don't blame Delia for not doing anything to help her husband. He got what he deserved that's just my opinion.

I like your observation that Delia is the breadwinner in the Jones' household, as this introduces several issues we must consider when talking about the value of care/domestic work and whether no job is more detrimental to masculinity than a stereotypically feminine job?
