THE TABLE (a short story)

They had been married for almost ten years. He was a history teacher who would ask from life nothing more than good food, a good bed to rest and a lovable partner. She, on the other hand, was a very ambitious lawyer. They had no kids; she couldn´t spare the time for such things. He couldn´t remember the precise moment in which the love of his life, that gorgeous girl that he had met at university turned into this cut-throat bitch, ready to win the rat-race at any cost. She even didn´t look at him now, her eyes fixed on the flashy screen of her smartphone. For her, of course, it was more than a state-of-the-art mobile phone. For her, it was like holding a beating heart in her right hand. This beautiful gadget was the centre of her life now: it was useful and entertaining, unlike her husband.
So he just kept silent, forgotten, taken for granted; watching his youth pass by. Until one afternoon, just before she came back from work, he felt an excruciating pain in the back which made him fall on his knees. The pain became unbearable and made him get down on all fours when he heard the sound of her keys at the door. He gave her an agonizing look, but she didn´t even notice he was there. Instead, she went to the kitchen and prepared a good cup of fresh coffee while turning on the TV. Then, she just dropped on the sofa, took off her stilettos, and laid her bare feet on her husband's back.

bitch = somewhat vulgar, crude. Maybe use instead overbearing woman, spiteful, malicious woman
