The story of an ordinary blush, or Why a luxurious woman fades over the years

Often we see how women, in their young years, able to turn the head of any handsome person, eventually fade, dissolve. Look, there's not a trace of that sultry beauty left. Instead, you have a tired, exhausted woman in front of you. What was the reason, you ask. Bad marriage or the wrong man around? Or maybe life's difficulties and troubles? I think everyone has a reason they want to talk about.



Editorial "Site" She shares the story of a woman who has turned from a beauty into an ordinary unsightly squirrel.

After 20 years of marriage, I don’t know if it’s going to be successful. As my grandmother used to say, marriage is not a good thing. Now I think I started to understand what she was talking about. But that's not what I wanted to talk about, but how I came to realize that I wasted my time. History is not new, but I do not pretend to be new.

When I first got married, I was the happiest person in the world. Since childhood, I wanted to be a bride, a wife, and then a mother. Among all my boyfriends, I carefully chose the one. I don't want to brag about it, but in my university years, I was followed by a lot of beautiful and smart guys. Some even called for marriage. But I chose Igor.

He and I lived well. After the wedding, both worked hard, were able to open their own business, which fed us for many years. During this time we had two children. Smart kids, smart kids. We were the perfect family. Igor's friends never stopped talking about what a beautiful wife he got. I tried to keep the stamp.

Then, as is usually the case, came the hard times. There was a crisis and our business had to close. As a result, my only salary was my official job. Then I immediately threw myself into work so that the children would not need anything. Got another job. But she was out of town, had to sleep there all week, and only come home for the weekend.



I had to save every penny, collect every grain and carry in the beak to my beloved children and husband. The fact that the business collapsed, badly hurt her husband. He couldn't get a job for a long time. So it all fell on my shoulders. But I never said a word, just worked humbly to feed everyone.

There was no time for myself and no money. Eventually, she stopped buying cosmetics and then new clothes. I held on for a long time so that no one would notice that we were poor. But over time, I completely dried up. I was only thinking about how to finish the shift, live another day.



When the husband found a job, it became a little easier. But somehow life did not become more joyful from this. I wanted to get back to my old self a little bit. So I decided to buy myself a new one. It’s spring and I haven’t had a new coat in 5 years. I still wear an old windbreaker that has been around since good times.

I searched the net and found a style that I liked. When I suggested he go to the store with me and buy this coat, he didn’t react as I expected. Igor glanced me from head to toe and said contemptuously: “Why do you need a new coat?” And that's it. A hoodie like you will look funny in it.



Then the ground floated from under my feet. Everything I knew about, but I didn’t want to see. Over the years, I've really turned into an ordinary squirrel. There is no trace of a beautiful woman. My husband stopped noticing me, my children began to take all my work for granted. Even my mom started laughing at my rare attempts to make yourself look good, like where you should be kicking.

I wasn't even mad at my husband. After all, from the mirror looked at me the most ordinary squirrel. And not because he looked at me that way, but because I agreed to become a gray mouse. When you begin to treat yourself with contempt, you should not expect anything different from other people. I'm sorry I only realized that now.



You can endlessly try to figure out who is to blame here, which was the reason, but then everyone will remain with their opinion. Someone will say that the woman herself is to blame, took responsibility for the whole family and abandoned herself. Someone's gonna blame the little husband. And someone will even say that there is no one to blame here, life is like this and everyone lives like this.



And it is worth saying that everyone will be right in their own way. We truly feel sorry for this woman who has fallen into the quagmire of life’s difficulties. And even now, when the worst times are over, still can not return to his former life. It doesn’t matter if it’s a failed marriage or a failed man. There are many such women, they sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, and then remain with the realization that life has passed.

It seems to us that our selfless women need to gain a little healthy selfishness. Learn to think about yourself first and not just about others. What do you think of this story?
