Just like that, the married life you’ve been enjoying for years can be destroyed in an instant. Ten years of living together became nothing. All these 10 years they lived in love and mutual understanding, and then one message from Mark and Monica realized that he had a mistress.
When his wife said she wanted a divorce, she could not have imagined that something like this would happen. It turned out that the man had little interest in the children, so he would hardly want to compete for them, and they lived in a house that belonged to her parents, had no expensive property, so there seemed to be nothing to divide. But then everything began to spiral in a way that she could not believe had happened to her.
Monika lived the same way as before, but now she fell asleep in tears instead of in an embrace, and her beloved husband was building a new life with a new “mistress.” He quickly forgot about the children, as if they were not his. He did not congratulate them on their birthdays, did not call to ask about their affairs.
For five years he did not think about his former family, and they tried to forget him. And then he came back. He stood on their doorstep with a small child in his arms and asked to come in. Of course, despite her resentment, Monika let him in. Then he told her that his mistress had left him when she saw a richer man and left the child with him.
Monika did not know what to do. All these long years she had done her best not to think of Mark, to build a new life, but how could she drive him away now with a small child? It wasn’t her fault that her husband was a traitor, but she was still suffocated by resentment, so she didn’t know what to do.
She let them stay the night, and in the morning she remembered her grandmother’s old house in a village near the city. It was small, but it had all the comforts of home, so she took her ex and his little girl there. At first, she helped them because her husband was on maternity leave, but then they agreed that the girl would go to kindergarten, and the man would return to work and start renting an apartment.
Although Monika promised that she would not help him, she came to them almost every day and helped, because she knew that Mark was not good at anything, he almost never helped her with the children, and the little girl was not to blame
