What is going on? They just got married and are already filing for divorce. How is this even possible?” – the woman told her friend, who, by the way, was also present at the wedding.
Everyone was there, including great aunts, whom Dima had seen once in his life. He saw them at the wedding.
Needless to say about the bride. She was, to put it mildly, amazed by so many guests. After all, the mother-in-law did not ask when she invited everyone. She only gave the list with the names before the young people had to agree on the restaurant.
It was very difficult. And very expensive.
The girl tried to dissuade her future husband from inviting so many relatives, but if her mother said “we must”, it means we must. She could not refuse.
– “She just went and applied?” her friend asked for the hundredth time.
– She went and applied. I do not know how it is possible. Today is the day of the divorce. They must have already divorced.
She knows everything, of course. But she doesn’t think her son is guilty of anything. It was three months ago. Why bring it up?
– We should call her parents, – the friend said, – I think so. Let them come and explain to their daughter. That it is wrong, that they are a family now, that they must be able to forgive.
The girl’s parents, by the way, have already come. But it did not make the boy feel better.
– I called, they do not want to hear anything.
– Well, what a family. It is still good that it became clear immediately, and not ten years later. Just imagine how your son would have lived.
Admittedly, the woman was not so much concerned about the couple’s relationship. More precisely, she was worried only about her son. And let the girl suffer, as long as the boy was doing well.
But that’s not quite the point.
The wedding turned out to be expensive. A lot of guests. The woman did not think too much before the wedding whether to invite all relatives and friends, and now she was counting the losses.
The bride’s parents, when the scandal broke out, gave money for their guests, who were very few. The boyfriend paid for the event. The girl’s parents, when it became clear that they would divorce, returned part of the money. As a matter of principle. And who will return the rest?
The guy gave all his savings. Most of it was added by his mother, who thought that later the son and daughter-in-law would return everything. Now the son lives alone and obviously cannot afford such expenses. That is, the money will not be returned.
– They paid for their children, and I think that everything should have been divided 50/50 – the former mother-in-law said.
– Exactly. Or let them return the entire amount. After all, it was their daughter who wanted to divorce. Let them compensate somehow – her friend supported her.
The woman kept thinking how to return the money.
Then her son called.
– Well, how did it go?
– Badly. I kept trying to talk her out of it – the son said, – And now I’m alone.
– And the money? Money? Will they return something else?
– The girl said that they paid for their guests. And the fact that we decided to invite so many relatives is already our problem – the son replied.
– Ungrateful – the woman was angry.
– Everything is fine.
– Of course it is, son. Come home.
The woman knew everything. And she knew why the girl did it, of course, as well as her friend. After all, the girl only after the wedding, literally the next day, found out where and with whom the guy went three months ago, when they were going to prepare for the wedding. She found out and immediately filed for divorce. She did the right thing.
But you can’t explain it to a woman. She sees no problem in the fact that her son insulted his wife. More precisely, what kind of wife is there when the question is about money? This is the main thing for a woman.
