– You forgot to take out the garbage this morning!” was the first thing the man heard when he came home.
“Not today” – the man mentally asked. Today he was very tired and had no strength to listen to his wife. For six months of marriage, the woman had already bored him so much with her eternal nagging that he did not want to come home. He silently undressed, changed his shoes and went into the room.
– Why don’t you answer? – the woman was not calming down. – I told you about the garbage in the evening, and in the morning you did not remember! Do I have to take it out?
– Well, you could take it out, you are at home all day anyway – the man tiredly answered her.
But I wish he hadn’t said that. She seemed to be waiting for it.
– You reproach me with bread! – she began to exclaim. – You think that I sit at home and do nothing! Of course, I’m not your equal! My family is poor, not like yours! You only married me to serve you!
– Have I ever told you about your family or reproached you in any way?
– No, you haven’t, but that’s what you think!
– You don’t know what I think. And if I did, I wouldn’t say such things.
Sometimes it was impossible to talk to her. How did she manage to turn everything around like that?
Yes, my husband was born into a prosperous rich family. But wealth did not fall from the sky. They all worked and strived for something. And the woman’s parents did not like to work, they did not strive for anything, money, if it appeared, immediately evaporated. And everyone around them owed them. The man married her not so much out of love as out of pity. And the more he felt sorry for the woman, the more impudent she became. And then she turned into a hysterical woman. She did not want to work, did not want to have children and everything was her husband’s fault. Or his family. And it was already starting to annoy him.
– I’m very tired, let’s not quarrel.
– Oh, you’re tired! Are you saying that you work while I stay at home?
He did not want to quarrel. And he didn’t want to hear the woman. And he did not want to see her either. And he didn’t want to live with her either. His wife’s exclamations brought him out of his thoughts:
– Why don’t you answer?
– I don’t want to.
– Because you do not love me? – the woman cried.
The man rolled his eyes. The scenario is always the same. First she arranges a scandal, makes him guilty, and then presses for pity. And somehow he doesn’t feel sorry for her anymore.
– Probably, yes, – with his answer he turned the algorithm of her actions upside down.
The woman was confused at first, but immediately burst into tears:
– You have another! Who is she?
– Oh, come on! That’s it. I’m fed up!
– Why are you yelling at me? Because you’re tired of me? Because you love someone else?
– Listen. I came home tired, I just needed to rest. But you don’t care about that. I’m tired of your scandals and I’m not going to take it anymore. Something is not satisfactory, so we part.
– Of course, I’m no match for you. I come from a poor family.
– And who prevents you from working? – You are poor because you are lazy! Our marriage is a mistake. And not because you come from a poor family, but because you have a bad character.
The woman tried for a long time to blame him for her poverty, for her unhappy fate, but did not see the obvious – it was all her fault and her laziness. She categorically did not want to work and believed that her husband was simply obliged to support her and tolerate all her whims. Because they were married.
The divorce took place. The man did not want any new relationship for another year, but as a result, he found a woman with whom he is happy and now they are waiting for a replenishment.
The woman quickly found a new “vest”, though not for long. No one could stay with her for long at all.
