Maria Spent Two Years as Nothing More Than a Nurse for Her Mother-in-Law
Maria Managed to Marry a Highly Successful Man—Her Friends Envied Her. He Owned a Thriving Business, a Lavish Modern Home, Several Cars, and a Cottage in the Countryside, All by Age Thirty-Two.
Maria, Fresh Out of University and Only Just Starting Her Career as a Teacher, Married Him That Summer. After the Wedding, Her Husband Insisted There Was No Need for His Wife to Work for Peanuts. He Told Maria to Stay Home and Prepare for Children—She Didn’t Argue.
The First Year Felt Like a Fairytale: Travelling, Luxurious Shopping Sprees, Priceless Memories. But Maria Had No Occasions to Wear Her New Clothes—Her Friends Were Busy Working All Week and Dedicated Their Weekends to Family. Her Husband Attended Countless Events, But Never Brought Maria Along.
Maria Felt Bored and Restless. She Couldn’t Conceive, Her Feelings for Her Husband Faded. After Housework Each Day, She Wandered Aimlessly from Room to Room, Wondering About Her Future. Another Year Went By. Her Husband Rarely Came Home During the Day, Returning Late—Tired and Moody. He Complained That Business Was Tougher Than He’d Hoped.
First, He Told Her to Cut Back On Spending. Then He Demanded Maria Account for Every Purchase and Expense; He Insisted They Could Live Just As Well on Half. Maria Grew Anxious. She Wanted to Work Again, But No Teaching Jobs Materialised.
She Signed Up for a Course, But Then Her Husband’s Mother Became Ill. For Two Years, Maria Had to Care for Her at Home, Doing Everything for Her. Her Husband Became Even More Distant—Rarely Returning Home.
When His Mother Passed Away, Her Husband Grew Silent, Withdrawn. He Avoided Conversation, Rarely Came Home, Spent All His Time at the Office.
Maria Was Puzzled—Until She Visited Her Late Mother-in-Law’s Old Flat, Where She Hadn’t Been in Ages. Behind Closed Doors, She Heard a Child Crying—She Thought the Place Was Empty but Rang the Bell.
A Young Woman Opened the Door—Maria Learned Her Husband Had Started Another Family Even Before His Mother Fell Ill, Setting Them Up in His Mother’s Flat.
For Maria, the Discovery Was Devastating. She Knew She Couldn’t Save Her Marriage. She Left For Another City To Stay With Her Aunt, With Barely Anything—Just a Small Bag—Wanting Nothing To Remind Her of Her Broken Marriage and the Life She’d Left Behind… For two years, Mary was simply a carer for her husband’s mother.
