Hello E6636

Does the content of the sentence reflect a regular occurrence, or a single incident?

Hello E.

In that case, probably the present tense is best!

Some parts need a little more attention:

...the man is in charge of the household meaning pressure and stress pounding on his back, but here comes the woman not to lend a habd , but to pound on his back as well...

Do you want to try to fix them?

Have a good evening,

MrP
