Jake was barely ten years old when he watched his father beat his mother to death. He vowed never to lay a hand on his wife.

When Jake got married at 31, he kept his vow. But, only for a while.

Three months after their marriage, Jake's wife began to nag about his bad habit of not cleaning up after himself.
