Yes, our life is as unpredictable as ever. Such was the case with Philip, who sent a letter to our editorial office asking for advice. It was evident that the man has already decided everything for himself, but to overcome the social constraints that bound him, he does not work. Further we will briefly present you the letter of our hero.
Hello, my name is Philip, and at the time of writing I am 56 years old. A year ago I finally realized that my wife, with whom we lived almost thirty years of marriage, a complete stranger to me. How did this happen, you may ask. When our children grew up and graduated from college, they went to conquer other cities with their inquisitive minds:
My daughter went to St. Petersburg, and my son went to the capital.
That was probably when I felt the emptiness that was consuming me. After that my communication with my wife gradually began to fade. We lived in the same apartment, but in separate adjoining rooms.
Lately we even cooked our own meals. We even went to we went to work by inertia or something. And so, in order to get out of of this crisis, we decided to buy a small country house in the nearest village.
As my beloved is a city person, she took our purchase as another entertainment: she sat on a chaise lounge drinking mojitos and occasionally leafing through another cheap novel. Probably, in these blissful for her moments she did not care about anything. In the meantime, I was fiddling with my little vegetable garden and trees.
Probably, only here, in this village, I finally felt so carefree and good, and I did not want to go back to this stuffy, stone jungle. So I decided to stay indefinitely. My wife seemed only too happy about this state of affairs.
And so I began to spend more and more time here. I would come, bring some fresh fruits and vegetables, stay for a day or two, and then go back to my dacha.
And then something happened that was totally unexpected to me. I had feelings for my neighbor at the cottage. She is a quiet, single woman, who is younger than me by a little over a decade. One day we got chatting, I offered her coffee, and our conversation continued until morning. Since then, she and I have been living quietly, without anyone seeing us. Now I don’t even want to go back to the city anymore.
I’m thinking of divorcing my wife, but I don’t know how to do it right. to do, I don’t know. I’m very much afraid of evil tongues, who seem to be just waiting for a chance to smear an honest man’s name. And my fear is not for myself, as you might think, but for my neighbor, for they will they’ll say she’s a divorcee, and all in the same vein.
Please advise me what to do in this situation? My wife Ready to give all the accumulated over the years property, everything but the house in the The city, in which in fact I’m going to live in the future. My children Me, of course, will understand, but it was not there with his wife. So I am extremely I’m very depressed, I’m very confused.
