They saved up for a two-bedroom apartment, but the husband decided to buy two one-bedroom, one for his mother-in-law.

First purchase of an apartment It is a very important event for any family. Sometimes spouses have to save money for years to fulfill their long-held dream. Words cannot convey the feeling when you become the full owner of your own cozy nest. And this brings special pleasure to women who have already tried on the role of the keeper of the hearth.



All this could have happened to the heroine of our history today. But it turned out that for several years the woman lived in ignorance. Why did the husband cheat on his wife and will the couple be able to resolve the housing issue peacefully? Read about it further in the article.

After the wedding, my husband and I decided that the first time we will live in a rented apartment. For more than 5 years we have been saving for our own home. For more than 5 years, I’ve been thinking about what our first purchase would be. Spacious 2-room fortress with a large kitchen, cozy living room, bedroom and bright bathroom. A childhood dream!

A dream that will not come true... The fact is that only Kostya works in our family. Therefore, he saves money for the purchase. I recently found out that he was going to buy 2 one for us and one for his mother. I'm crazy!



At first I was silent, but Kostya was not going to tell me anything. I guess he pulled it all the way. But I can see he's getting calls from unknown numbers all the time. And to his mother-in-law, he began to visit more often than usual. And the other day I saw his story in the browser: there is a whole selection of sites with real estate and options with 1-bedroom apartments! Why is this happening behind my back?

I asked him if he didn’t want to tell me anything. Kostya confessed immediately and honestly. “It is very hard for Mom, understand. One pension is missing, so I thought it would be great if she could rent out an apartment. An extra penny will never hurt. And then this apartment will go to our child. Isn't that a great plan? my husband asked me naively.



No, the plan, of course, is beautiful! Really, why am I the last to know? The situation so infuriated me that I decided to talk to my mother-in-law about this. I called her and invited her to visit us. Natalia Fedorovna gladly accepted my invitation and came the same evening.

But her joy in her eyes quickly vanished when she saw me. I don’t know, I could tell I was angry. “Natalia Fedorovna, please forgive me. But do you happen to know why my husband decided to buy you an apartment instead of buying a large 2-room apartment for our family?

The mother-in-law changed her face: “Daughter, I didn’t ask him for anything!” This is his decision, honestly. I understand your indignation, but let's be clear. You haven't invested a penny in an apartment you'll call yours. Is that fair? Kostya is working like a damn to make you happy.



Do you dare judge him? My son's act speaks to his nobility. I don’t really want to claim this apartment. When you have a child, he will have it. On the contrary, it's great!

The words of the mother-in-law sounded quite convincing. But I was really hurt. After all, Kostya insisted that I do not work and stay at home. I gave everything to make our apartment comfortable. I wanted to know what our own house would look like. I wanted to do everything to make us comfortable. And now it turns out I had nothing to do with it?



What hurts me most is that my husband didn’t talk to me at all! Just put it to the fact when I asked him. I'm disgusted because I almost had to spy to find out what was going on. Now I even think maybe I should go to work. I'll be more independent if I'm made such a claim!

It seems to us that in this situation we can understand everyone. The woman is offended because her husband did not consider it necessary to consult her. Agree, such serious issues as the purchase of the first apartment should be discussed by the spouses together. At the same time, the man himself wanted the best. He thinks in rational terms of practicality. After all, if you think about it, two people can live perfectly in a 1-room apartment.



Well, the mother-in-law should advise her son to talk to his wife in advance. Apparently, a woman lives a hidden resentment against her daughter-in-law for not working and sitting around her husband’s neck. But, judging by the story, the man himself wanted his wife not to work. So why make her guilty? She just wants to not be lied to.

We suggest that you judge the spouses and give the woman some advice. What would you do if you were the main character or her husband? Boldly share your thoughts in the comments!
