– Walter, look how beautiful the dress is! – Rosa was spinning in front of her husband in a new dress.
– You bought a new dress again? – Walter asked with a sigh. – Money is not very good, and she buys new clothes again!
– Well, yes! – Rose answered happily, continuing to spin and flirt.
– And what did you buy from the food? – asked Walter.
– Yogurt, – answered happy Rosa.
– Is that all? – Walter was surprised. – And what will we have for dinner?
– Yogurt! – answered Rosa. – It’s healthy and nutritious!
Walter rolled his eyes and sighed heavily.
– I am a man and yogurt is not food for me, – he said trying to keep calm, – I need a normal hot meal with meat. Or fish.
– I didn’t have enough money for your meat, – Rosa replied, – And anyway, I’m a girl and I don’t have to carry bags of food! If you want meat – buy it yourself!
Walter suddenly took his jacket and quickly ran out the door.
Rose froze at the mirror.
And it turned out that he went to his mother. To have dinner…
– What, there is no food in the house again? – his mother asked him when he was sitting and eating stewed potatoes with meat.
– “Yeah,” Walter answered with his mouth full, “She bought yogurt for dinner and… A new dress.
– You spoiled her, – the mother shook her head. – A wife should take care of her husband first, and then about her clothes. Okay, I’ll talk to her myself.
– Walter agreed. He was glad that he himself did not have to talk to Rosa on this topic.
The next day, the mother-in-law came to see Rosa when Walter was at work.
Meanwhile, Rosa was writing a plan for the wedding. She studied at the institute and worked as a toastmaster at weddings. After a successful wedding of her friend, she got orders from other friends and acquaintances.
She prepared for each wedding carefully, tried to think through everything to the smallest detail and to make the weddings different from each other. Because the guests were often from the same company.
– “Hi, Rosa,” the mother-in-law greeted me kindly, “what are you doing, am I disturbing you?
Rosa greeted, asked about her health and assured her that she was not disturbing her, and offered to drink tea.
– Rosa, – mother-in-law began the conversation, – Yesterday Walter came, he was very hungry. He said that there was no food in the house. You don’t cook anything, or what?
– Oh, I see, – Rosa smiled. – Did he say why we have no food in the house?
– He did, – replied the mother-in-law. – He said you bought a new dress, and there was no money left for food.
– Did he tell you what money I was supposed to have left?” Rosa asked her, “Because he hasn’t given me a single penny for three months now, we live on the money I get from weddings. And I bought a new dress, because I can’t wear the same outfit to every wedding.
– What do you mean he doesn’t give you money? – my mother-in-law was surprised.
– I would like to know that too, – Rosa replied, thinking.
He always avoided the conversation as soon as she started talking about money.
– It’s you who spoiled him, – said the mother-in-law. – A man must be kept strict. All right, I’ll talk to him…
In the evening, Walter again came to dinner to his mother. She started talking right away.
– I talked to Rosa today. Why don’t you give her money for food? And who pays for the apartment?
– Oh, she complained already, – Walter grimaced. – Just give her money and she will buy clothes! She has money for clothes, so let her find money for food. And I do not have to pay for the apartment, she lives in my apartment, so let her contribute.
The mother blushed and began to scold her son:
– You are a man, but you live at the expense of your wife! She is right to feed you yogurt. With such an approach, you should be fed with dandelions, not meat! And this apartment is not yours, but mine! And you, I see, have settled well. Just like your father – a copy!
She separated from her husband, Walter’s father, when her son was 5 years old. He also gave her no money, no help, only was a burden. And now Walter behaves like this.
Walter rolled his eyes. He had hoped that his mother Rosie would speak up, but she had taken her side.
– “Well, where is your money?” his mother said to him, “What do you spend it on?
– I don’t spend it, – Walter answered proudly, – I save it. I want to buy a car. But I’ll get it registered in your name, okay? Otherwise, if we divorce Rosa, I’ll have to share the car with her.
– “You’re just like your father,” my mother replied bitterly. If you continue to think like that, then Rosa will really leave you.
– And I’m not keeping anyone!” Walter hummed.
Two months later, Rosa did leave Walter.
Keeping a man just because she lives in his apartment somehow did not fit in her head. It was no longer a marriage, but a commercial relationship.
– “Go, go!” Walter shouted after her, “Maybe you’ll find someone stupid enough to eat your yogurt! And I’ll find a normal wife who knows how to cook!
He found a normal wife, but just like Rosa, he could not keep her. Then he found another… And another…
– All women only want money!” – Walter complained to his friend, who, like him, was in eternal search of the one and only.
Perhaps the one who will keep him.
– They need my house and my money. And they are of no use to me. They have to do the housework anyway, it’s their duty!
And Rosa graduated from the institute, but did not work by profession.
She was much more interested in weddings than in economics.
At one of the weddings she met an interesting, close to her character man.
Now they are engaged in the organization of holidays together and are preparing to hold the most important wedding. Her wedding…
