I want to tell you about a recent change in my life. It so happened that six months ago I was laid off and for a long time I could not find a job. In the end, I got a job at my friend’s firm. I drove to clients’ apartments and helped with all sorts of household chores. I became a “husband for an hour.” Of course, I wasn’t making very much money.
Lately, when I came home, I was eating nothing but pasta. And then I couldn’t stand it and asked my wife:
– Don’t we at least have sausages or dumplings?
My mother-in-law ran into the kitchen and started yelling at me:
– You’re a slacker! You bring home pennies! What kind of sausages do you want?! Be glad we made you pasta! That’s all you’ve earned!
My wife is pregnant. She’s seven months pregnant now. While I was working at my friend’s firm, I was looking for a proper job. I sent resumes everywhere and went to interviews. After I lost my job, we went to live with my mother-in-law. After all, we couldn’t pay the rent now. And after that, my mother-in-law started humiliating me all the time. That’s why I would leave home early in the morning and come home late at night.
I was waiting to find a good job. But, unfortunately, there was no good job for me. My mother-in-law was very unhappy about this. And then I found out that my mother-in-law cooked normal, tasty food for herself and my wife. I was the only one they fed with pasta. When I found out about this, I just put the keys to the apartment on the table, gathered my things and left. I went back to live with my mother. And literally a week later I found a job. And after another month, I rented an apartment.
I don’t want to go back to my wife. But recently my mother-in-law called me. She started scolding me. She says I have to go back to my wife. And I’m not going to do that. I don’t answer my wife and mother-in-law’s calls. And I don’t read their messages.
– Why don’t you go back or at least take your wife? You’re going to have a baby soon, aren’t you? – My mother tells me.
But I can’t forgive my wife and mother-in-law. It turns out that they only need me when I earn good money and can support the family. And they did not want to support me in a difficult situation. I will never forgive them for that!
