I have lived on this land for a long time, but I could not even imagine that this could happen, and with my acquaintances who live in the neighborhood. In the dacha community next door to us lived my brothers, who had a large dacha plot of more than twenty acres. Each brother had two solid wooden houses on the property. The brothers had always been friends, they always stood up for each other.
They were grown men, over forty, married, but neither of them had children. It was obvious that the brothers had a good income, as they each had a foreign car, two luxurious houses, a beautiful recreation area on the land where there was a barbecue. Simply put, they had everything they needed for a good life. The brothers were adequate and totally positive, and the wives were beautiful. Many people envied them.
I had known them for more than five years, and sometimes we even vacationed together at the cottage, roasted barbecues, and went fishing. And recently we went to see them with my wife on the anniversary of one of the brothers, and they shocked us with two pieces of news: “Let me introduce, this is my new wife,” said one brother, and then the second showed us his new wife. However, the spouses were not new at all, but the same. The brothers just switched spouses. We did not understand and asked again. The brothers told us that they had made serious mistakes and could not admit it even to themselves.
And a month after the spouse swap, the brothers told us that they were about to become dads. At that very moment I was speechless for the third time. My wife even pushed me slightly to cover my mouth and come to my senses. After a while, I began to understand what was being said and what was going on. The wives of the brothers had always been close friends, and from day one the whole foursome had been together.
But it just so happened that they started dating the wrong people. It wasn’t until five years later that they confessed to each other and switched husbands and wives. The exchange happened without quarrels or scandals, the wives of the brothers were best friends and remained so. That is all he and his wife told us. I have also shared this story with you with their permission.
