It’s true what they say – young spouses should live separately. Two housewives do not belong in the same kitchen. We were convinced of this from our own experience.
My wife and I got married while we were still students. We didn’t have our own place. And since my wife’s parents lived far away from us, I suggested that Melissa live with my parents for the first time. They immediately accepted us because they had a three-room apartment.
However, I could not imagine how it would end.
At first, everything was fine. Later, my mom started picking on Melissa. In her opinion, my wife was doing everything wrong. And my mom had to teach her everything. Mom blamed Melissa for almost everything, calling my wife an inept housewife.
Because of this, my wife often cried. Then I decided to talk to my mother. But it didn’t work, because Melissa was still a bad housewife for her mother. And talking to my father was also useless.
Then I decided that the best solution would be to live separately. As soon as I told my parents about it, my mom made a real scandal. She set me a condition: if I leave, I can forget about them. But I chose my wife. Melissa and I moved into a rented apartment. To do this, I had to transfer to a part-time university and find a job. Melissa also found a job. We both earned money, and in a few years we bought our own home. Now that we had a place to live and were making good money, Melissa and I started thinking about having a child.
My parents still don’t communicate with me. It’s unpleasant, but maybe it’s for the best. I have a wife who supports me in everything. She is my support. I’ve never had any doubts about my wife’s economic skills. She does a great job, and I always support her.
Still, I’m very glad that I didn’t listen to my parents back then.
