Monica and I are classmates, but we were never really friends. We didn’t speak to each other for a few years after graduation. And then it happened that Monica’s husband and my husband were colleagues. They worked together and got on well together. After that day we became family friends. Several times my husband helped Monica’s family.
But I had no sympathy for Monica. We just talked to each other sometimes. I really didn’t like the fact that Monica was always giving me advice on what to do and how to do it. She also scolded me for not working anywhere. Maybe she just wanted to assert herself at my expense.
After all, Monica is not very pretty. She is short and overweight. Monica really wanted to be a mother, but she couldn’t have a baby for a long time. But she wanted it very much and became a mother after all: three years ago she gave birth to a girl. We continued to be family friends.
And six months ago a big misfortune happened: Monica’s husband died. He had a heart attack, and they just didn’t have time to get him to the hospital and save him. After her husband’s funeral Monica very often came to my husband for help. But we can no longer be family friends: after all, Monica doesn’t have a husband. And she keeps calling and calling us. But not me, but my husband, and invites us to go out together.
She says she lost my number, but I don’t believe it. I don’t want to talk to Monica anymore. But it’s not nice to push her away either. After all she has a very difficult situation. I just don’t know what to do. But I don’t like it when my husband goes away to help Monica and solve her problems…
