The husband who leaves, the wind in the back and the train to meet

Life in marriage has both light and dark stripes. A relationship between two loving people doesn’t always turn into something more. But should you run after your partner like a naive little dog? Maybe it's better after all. escort offSong and dance, as they say, if he's going to leave his family?



The role of breadwinner always goes to the husband. But a woman can also go to work, take care of children, cook, wash and clean. Do not forget about these “small” feats. At the same time, our women need to be able to stand up for themselves at the right time. Just like they do in the West.

To see my husband off seven days ago, this story happened to me. I went to the market for groceries. Weekend, people apparently invisible: everyone wants to grab something tastier and cheaper. A full house. Despite the fact that I arrived in the morning, I returned home only at 4 p.m. Now I would throw all the shopping in the fridge and start cooking. The day's really gone. So be it.

The door was unlocked, so the husband was at home. The kids are at Grandma's, breathing fresh air. I have a thing for always leaving the apartment locked. It's a habit of mine.



GettyImages Walking into the apartment, all sweaty and tired, I called my husband to help me with the packages. But Valera didn't respond. When I went into the bedroom, I saw him standing on scrubs and collecting clothes from the lower shelves. There was no surprise, I was so tired. I just wanted to find out what happened this time.

- I can't do this anymore, I'm tired. Packing up and leaving. Don't worry, I'll call the kids today and explain everything, but don't stop me, it's been decided.

Packages fell to the floor, fruit and greens treacherously crumbled. But I didn't even notice it. Shock. Like thunder from a clear sky. Something you never expect to hear, especially in a situation like this.

- Are you kidding?! What happened? When you find another one, where are you going? Let's sit down, talk it over, think about the kids.



- I can't, I've thought it over. All day long, work, house, fights with you and everything. I don't want life to pass by. We're over 50, Olya. It's not too late to change things, not old people. Look how you look, I can't look at you anymore, where did your figure and gorgeous braid go? It's unbearable.

Really, the look. When men realize that we women sacrifice for them. For the kids. So that the family does not need anything. If you stick out in a beauty salon for days or go to fitness, children will starve to death.

- And the kids, Valera? How are they without a father?

- Children are growing up much faster than before. Besides, Vika's already in school. The time for diapers is gone, now somehow. Don't worry about alimony. I won't hurt kids.



Perfect. He probably thinks his alimony is enough for something serious. Economist, man. He works for three pennies. What will you get from him? .

- But you're lazy, God. What are you tired of?!

- I want to go fishing and see my friends. I'm not comfortable moving into this apartment every day after work and hearing your complaints. Unpleasant. You stopped appreciating me, understanding me. I can't watch TV in my house without your caustic comments. And the wife, by the way, is first and foremost a friend!

- What have you done recently? Come home from work, eat and drink and sleep on the couch. You’re watching TV or reading nonsense on the Internet. About politics, football and other very important news! Again, what are you tired of?

It's getting ugly and unbearable. I have a third child older than me. He wants something that he doesn’t even know. Why would I? Money in the house brings pennies. She puts it on her boat. I'm not appreciated. Why do you need this luggage?



Kids? The kids will grow up, they won't go anywhere. Then they'll realize that Dad left them for his own pleasure. I'll stay with them. Nothing, let's break through. Maybe family can help. Torment yourself.

- All right, Valer. Don't forget to pull your things out of the cellar. I'll at least bring the sunsets in. At least there's more room. I bought groceries with my own money, by the way. But help yourself. It's a celebration. The world has found a new dreamer. With baldness, belly and two chins. All the best for you.

- Yeah, yeah. If I forget anything, I'll pick it up tomorrow. Don't throw anything away. I'll call the kids, don't worry.

- Everybody calm down, Valera. Have a good trip.



Now the children have come home from the village. I thought they'd be sad or whatever, blaming me for my dad leaving. But no. They're really grown-ups, and I think they figured it out before I did. The departure of her husband was quite easy and not a sad event. There is more food and less washing.

Now you do not need to serve another hundred-gram child. And time for yourself. I don't know, I'm not going to be pretty, but maybe I'll go to the pool a couple of times. It is good for health, and children have long wanted. Three of us. The whole family.
