– Needless to say, it’s all my own fault! – My friend’s sister is sobbing. – I could not even imagine that this would happen! And now even how to be do not know? I do not even know how to get it all back, so as not to lose face?
My sister got married a few years ago.
After the wedding it was decided that the newlyweds would live with their spouse’s mother. My parent has a big three-room apartment and has only one son.
– I’ll keep one room and the rest is yours! – said the mother-in-law. – We are all well-bred people, so I think we’ll get along.
– We can always move out! – said the husband-to-be to his wife at the time. – I don’t see anything wrong with trying to live under the same roof as my mother. If we don’t get along, we can always go to a rented apartment…
So we did. As it turns out, living together is quite a challenge. Both daughter-in-law and mother-in-law tried, but every day it only got worse. Accumulated grievances occasionally erupted into quarrels, which grew more frequent every day.
– You, you said that if we could not live together, we would leave my mother for an apartment! – said the wife, bursting into tears at her husband.
– Well, do we not work out? – smiled condescendingly spouse. – It’s the little things, and because of them to pack a suitcase and move to the least unwise.
Exactly a year after the wedding the wife went on maternity leave, and after a while she gave birth to a healthy son.
The birth of her grandson coincided with the time when my mother-in-law left her old job and had not yet had time to find a new one, because employers were not eager to hire a lady of preretirement age. My daughter-in-law and mother-in-law had to sit nose-to-nose in the same area 24 hours a day, because neither of them had a chance to go anywhere. Because of this, the atmosphere in the house grew stronger and stronger every day.
The husband only shrugged off his women, since he was the only breadwinner in the family at the time.
– You and I can’t leave your mother alone now, since she has no means of livelihood. I can’t leave her to her own fate, and I can’t afford to rent a place and help my mother with money. When my mother finds a job, then we’ll move out!
But the young wife’s patience began to run out before her mother-in-law found a job. The young woman packed up her and her son’s belongings and moved in with her mother. When she left, she told her husband that she would never set foot in his mother’s house again in her life. If he valued his family, then let him think of something.
The wife was sure that the beloved cherishes his family and immediately began to try to get it back. But she was very much mistaken.
More than three months had passed since the wife had moved in with her mother, and the husband had not even tried to win her back. The man lives with his mother, and after he returns from work, he communicates with his wife and child by video link, and visits them at his mother-in-law’s house on the weekends.
The young couple has a guest marriage.
The man is given the attention and care of two women at once; in addition, the parent genuinely sympathizes with the son the sniveling bitch left, and, besides, he doesn’t have to take care of the child. The spouse is a winner! Yes, the mother-in-law is probably living just fine, because she hasn’t really lost anything!
After her spouse left her husband, she chewed up all of her elbows. She is not happy with this situation at all. She loves her spouse very much, even though she knows he’s not acting right.
– What did you expect when you left? – Her husband answers her. – You can go back if you want.
Most likely, the spouse is not going to leave her mother for a rented apartment. The girl, who is on maternity leave, understandably does not have the means to do so.
Is this really the end of the family?
What do you think, if the spouse has at least a small chance to return to her mother-in-law’s house and save face?
