My husband’s grandmother is a very arbitrary person. She demands absolute submission from her relatives, and they dance to her tune. Those relatives who dared not follow her instructions, she simply ignored.
My grandmother did not like me from the first days of our acquaintance. Here is a list of her claims to me: I paint brightly, my career comes first, I have my own, different from hers, opinion. She openly stated that she did not want to see me as the wife of her grandson. The grandson ignored her valuable instruction. We got married and began to work and live in a rented apartment. Like most newlyweds…
– My grandmother’s health became bad, – the man once said, – My mother moved her to her place.
I expressed my condolences to the man. After all, he sincerely loved my grandmother. Two weeks later, the man again mentioned my grandmother in conversation.
– My mother told me that my grandmother agreed to register her home for me. Probably my mother was tired that it was wrong to leave her grandson without inheritance. But grandma made a condition – we will have to file for divorce.
I thought he was joking.
– I am serious as ever, – my husband rejected my assumption.
– Are you seriously going to accept her condition? – I asked in surprise.
– Seriously, but fictitiously, – my husband began to calmly express his thoughts, – We will officially divorce. I will show the documents to my grandmother. She will register the apartment for me. We will live there. Grandma is not able to control who lives there. And when grandma passes away, we’ll register the marriage again. After all, many people live in a civil marriage.
I did not agree with him. For me it’s a betrayal. And it is indecent to deceive an old woman. We argued for a while, each stating his arguments.
– If we divorce, it will be once and for all. Without any pretense, – I cut off, putting an end to the unpleasant conversation.
We haven’t spoken for a week. The status quo remains. Will he dare to cheat? I don’t know.
