My husband declared at my birthday celebration that I was too old to be desirable—my friend retaliated on my behalf.

At Emma’s 57th birthday, disaster struck when her husband, Mike, openly ridiculed her for her age. The situation escalated when her best friend defended Emma, exposing a shocking secret that stunned everyone, including Emma.

Yesterday marked my 57th year, and despite any opinions, I cherish this age. I’m self-assured, have nothing to prove, and I wear each gray hair and wrinkle with pride.

If Mike shared this view, it could have spared much heartache.

Lately, Mike has taken to taunting me about my age at every turn, acting like a crude comedian.

“Emma, forgot your dentures?” he’d joke, followed by his irritating laughter. Not very original, Mike.

But I was resolved not to let him spoil my birthday. I invited friends, decorated, and even bought a new outfit. I was thrilled, until Mike spoke out of turn.

“You think you can wear that?” he doubted openly.

“Absolutely,” I replied, keeping composed.

Mike sneered. “Maybe you need a dementia check since you’re obviously out of touch with reality.”

His words cut deep. I was speechless, but then the doorbell rang.

Karen, my best friend, was first to arrive, immediately complimenting my dress, which lifted my spirits after Mike’s cruel words.

The house buzzed with laughter and conversation as more guests arrived. I was in my element, ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves. But Mike dampened the mood.

“Emma, should you be drinking at your age? Isn’t it past your bedtime?” he broadcasted.

Some laughed awkwardly; most were uncomfortably silent.

I forced a smile. “I’ll manage, Mike.”

Despite my efforts to ignore him, Mike’s relentless remarks worsened throughout the evening, each one a sting.

“You’re too old to dance, Emma. Might break a hip,” he mocked as I danced.

Seeing pity in my friends’ eyes infuriated me.

“Stop it!” I snapped. “Why are you being so cruel?”

Mike blushed with anger. “I’m just being realistic,” he shouted. “You’re too old for this, too old to be attractive, too old for me, Emma! Just accept it!”
