John is a nice, sweet kid – my girlfriend’s son. He went to college pretty well. After which he went to work, and after he became a successful business owner. He has his own house in the countryside and an apartment in the center of our city. In general, he is a real eye-catcher, not a young man.
Still, sooner or later there will be at least one “but”. He was united by the bonds of marriage with Maria. Unpleasant to the horror of a girl from a poor collective farm family, envy and impudence – her talents. This is not just a story of my girlfriend, but a well-known fact.
The first thing this harpy did was to get rid of all her spouse’s comrades and close acquaintances. “Why are they here, that’s all they do, they go here to drink and go out, thereby draining you of your means – what’s the use of them?!”
And then it was her husband’s turn – his family is pretty strong – always sitting together, calling, calling back, in a word – family.
At first Maria was terribly unhappy with each of the calls of relatives, and then began to come to decisive action. Every time one of the relatives was going to come to visit them, she got very urgent headaches.
So soon, of all the relatives visited them only her mother-in-law, and even that seldom. At least her son and granddaughter to look at. On each of her visits Maria managed to make a terrible scandal.
No, you do not think, not that straight hysterics with heather and shouting, but so peacefully, hissing to herself like a cobra on a mongoose, by any available means trying to pick on my mother-in-law.
Telling her for the umpteenth time that we do not need your help with education, well, how do you not understand that. Yes, and, by the way, your cheap presents to us, if you are so kind, do not bring. Are you blind and do not you see that we are respectable people with money and go only in expensive things. And then you will bring your rubbish, and then I will have to think where to put it.
And meanwhile her husband was still standing and nodded at every word of his beloved. Just take yesterday. We decided to meet, she and I and another lady. We were sitting, sipping fragrant Indian tea from their bowls.
And then my friend suddenly bursts into tears, giving me her phone, and her hands are shaking. My friend is sobbing and showing me the message, she is in a state of panic.
Maria writes that she and John have decided that it would be better if you didn’t pry into their lives, and didn’t bring any junk into their home. She was in tears, telling me that she had called her son, and his son told her, “You better not come to our house yet, because you’re annoying Maria with your whole appearance.
So we’re sitting here crying, and we forgot that we were in threes:
-And Mary, – suddenly expressed his opinion girlfriend, – are not you alone brought up such a cruel and not attentive son!
There then, of course, we shouted at her decently, saying, what can she understand it if she has no family, but only fatty cat sitting by the fireplace in humble expectation of a new portion of food. Yes, we’ll take now and show you, that it was unforgivable to say such words in the future. Oh, if it weren’t for that harpy Maria, the cause of all trouble and all blame…
She then politely shut up and took her leave. She must have been offended. It was as if the veil had come off us, and we realized the gravity of the situation: A man is heartless because he has no heart, not because he is forced into it.
