My husband and I were very lucky, for many years I was like cheese in butter, but recently my mother-in-law got sick, and my husband made a strange decision.

They say conscience It can only happen to people who have it at all. So do not try to convey something to some individuals who in life never considered themselves guilty or indebted to someone. You're wasting your time. And nerves.



However, it can be painful to realize that a person whom you have known all your life turns out to be such an unscrupulous person. You can't write anything. The adult, formed view of life can hardly be changed. It remains only to decide how to proceed: to leave such a person in your social circle or to remove, without pity and regret.

I believe that for a woman, the age of a little over 40 is ideal. Judge for yourself, you still look attractive and feel great. If you have money, it's even more interesting. Men at this age are no longer unemployed young people and have something behind them. And, beautifully, they understand your needs and little whims. At least for the most part.



My name is Marina and I am the same woman over 40. Married for almost 20 years. Until recently, my life was like a fairy tale. Judge for yourself, the husband is a private entrepreneur. He has many points of sale, a huge number of important acquaintances and even some weight in the city hall. It's punchy.

Our children are studying abroad. At first I thought it would be hard not to see them for months. But you know what? That's not true. When you are sure that your child will receive the best education, that in another country, he is completely safe. And that you can call him at any time and find out how things are, all the fears and experiences go away. Let the children grow up, they will need it in the future.



Well, personally, I also found something to do. Boris put me in the office with his friend. The job is simple, but it helps me to stay on top and communicate with other people. I also have fun when I tell my boss how I went on vacation with my husband to the islands. And she complains to me that tickets to Turkey have gone up again, so this year she will have to look for something more affordable.

I can't complain about my life. She’s something some people can’t even dream of. At least she was before. But two weeks ago, there was a big change. I got fired from my job. My husband gave me less time. We started fighting, he started yelling at me, which had never happened before. Even the kids seem to love me less. And I know the reason for all this.



The fact that recently my mother-in-law, my husband's mother-in-law, fell down the stairs. It's an old woman, a little one. I can't even remember the last time I spoke to her. And that's the bad luck. As a result of the fall, she broke her femur and is now unable to rise to her feet. The doctors said she needed rest and rest. And a lot of time. Borya could easily afford to hire the mother the best doctors and nurses, but he did his own way.

Although I'd say he acted like a pig. Instead of professional care, he chose something else. I brought my mother to our big house. I bought a huge number of products, medicines and everything you need to restore strength in the elderly. He asked me to look after his mother until she felt better.

He explained that all my life with him I felt very comfortable and had no work that I did not want to do. My mother-in-law and I barely spoke. So now that I have the opportunity, I have to look after my husband’s mother. It's some kind of exam or something. Well, that's what Boris thinks, or someone put the idea into his head somewhere. For me, the result is the same.



Peels remorse Well, I can't take a step like he can't understand? Change the duck, diapers. Prepare and bring special porridge, just like an alarm clock. I also went to work, with which I was fired at my husband’s request, on time. Now they want me to be a professional nurse. How does this work in your spouse’s head?

And it's his fault. I had a stable life of a woman who was not used to any moral or even physical inconvenience. And all of a sudden, bam -- come on, honey, sit with my mom, a recumbent old woman. Is that normal? I wouldn’t even mind paying her for proper care, but, as a matter of fact, I spent all my money on shopping before I quit.

Now all this time I have a real nurse in the house, sometimes even the cook comes in, who cooks only for my mother-in-law. I'm like an extra person. The driver is not allowed to take me to the city. The kids are all in school and they judge me for not wanting to look after their grandmother. My husband is angry and doesn’t talk to me. At least cry. I'm tormented by remorse.



Could it be that this is some kind of psychological attitude? To make me a more compliant wife or something? I have never seen this kind of behavior on my husband before. And now I don't even know what to think. But my life was turned upside down. Or maybe he found another one? Is it just provoking me? Any thought is interesting. I want to get to the truth. Thanks.
