The young and attractive Jessica had been married several times before. True, unsuccessfully. All the time the girl could not build a competent relationship after the wedding with all the relatives of the groom.
And the young men themselves, entering into the family squabble, instantly turned into tyrants. When the romantic period in the relationship turned into constant recriminations and nagging, it was necessary, as many women believed, to endure. But Jessica was not one of those young ladies. Most of all she appreciates understanding and calm in family relationships. And then on the horizon there was another passion.
The girl, crossing her fingers, hoping for a happy future. And so it turned out. It is true that the young lady also decided to change her attitude to some things and it must be said that she succeeded in it. All like everyone else. First, dating, going to the movies, flowers and sweets. Then, as it should be, the cherished ring on her finger and move to the family nest with her husband. Everything went back to normal.
And this time there was a good-looking guy, too. Adam was hard-working, intelligent and responsible. He worked as a presenter at a radio station. He made good money, so Jessica was fine with it. And she was not the kind of girl who would sit on her husband’s neck. She took care of Adam, pampered him every night with homemade delicacies, and on weekends the young couple necessarily went out of town to rest from the bustle of the city. Her mother-in-law did not immediately accept the daughter-in-law. She seemed perfect to her. The woman decided to see what Jesica was up to. For many generations in the family had been a tradition to celebrate all holidays at a big round table, inviting many relatives.
The girl had nothing against celebrating with her extended family. Her mother-in-law was very surprised that her daughter-in-law agreed with her on everything. As the years passed, Jessica and Adam constantly visited at every opportunity. The girl always brought a small gift for her mother-in-law, as well as a package of her favorite marshmallows and a bouquet of fresh hydrangeas.
My mother-in-law reconciled with her son’s choice eight years later and began to treat the girl without snide remarks or hypocrisy. Apparently the woman was mistaken, well, it doesn’t happen. Now Jessica is a welcome guest and close friend of her mother-in-law. And when the couple had a long-awaited daughter, the mother-in-law’s happiness was overflowing. Now every weekend the whole family gathers to visit her mother-in-law. The table is piled high with homemade pies, delicious dishes, and the family finally has an idyll.
That’s how you live and you never know where your luck will turn. There are situations when it’s better to nod and smile, then everything will work out.
How would you behave if you were Jessica?
