Rub sth in someone's face


Explanation:
هر روز سرکوفت شوهر شما را به من میزد = He/She rubbed in the success of your husband in my face every day.
To rub something in someone's face is a common expression, meaning to flaunt something, or remind someone that someone else is superior to them or more fortunate than them in a way that is excessive to the point of rudeness.
