I have a younger brother. He got married very young. He was 18 years old. I just didn’t understand why there was such a rush. It seems to me that he just wanted to prove that an adult can already live independently. Since childhood, I was used to having to take care of him. My childhood ended the moment he was brought home from the hospital. I was only ten years old at the time. I was constantly looking after him as an adult. Then he grew up, got married and left us. His wife was also 18 years old, but she had a very strong character.
From the first time we met her, we didn’t like her. She was a tactless, ill-mannered person, and she was ugly. What did my brother see in her? My brother and his wife lived in an apartment near my mother-in-law. My father-in-law was a very quiet man, he seemed a bit strange to me. He never spoke, sometimes he just shook his head. As for my mother-in-law, she liked to be in charge. She commanded everyone and everyone obeyed her, or rather there was no other way out. She was always picking on my brother, reproaching him, reporting him. The wife was also always unhappy with her husband.
They treated my brother very badly. Of course, I didn’t like it. I tried to talk to my brother, but he kept saying that he was comfortable with them, his wife loved him, they were fine and were happy with their life. Over time, my brother changed: I noticed that he became like his father-in-law. He stopped expressing his opinion and just shook his head sometimes. But one day his patience broke down: he packed his things and just ran away from them. I had never seen my brother in such a state. He was very sorry that he got married so young. Every person has a limit to their patience, and when this limit is violated, they leave in silence.
