He Hated His Wife. He Hated Her… They Had Spent 15 Years Together. For 15 Whole Years, He Saw Her Every Morning, But Only in the Past Year Had Her Habits Begun to Drive Him Mad—Especially One: Stretching Out Her Arms in Bed and Saying, “Good Morning, Sunshine! Today Will Be a Wonderful Day.” Simple Words, Yet Her Thin Hands and Sleepy Face Filled Him with Disgust. She Would Rise, Gaze Out the Window for a Few Moments, Take Off Her Nightdress, and Head to the Bathroom. Once, at the Start of Their Marriage, He Had Admired Her Body and That Freedom That Borderlined on Indecency. Even Now, Though Her Figure Remained Lovely, the Sight of Her Nakedness Filled Him with Rage. Once, He Even Wanted to Push Her to Hurry Her “Waking-Up Process,” But He Only Managed to Bark, “Hurry Up, I’ve Had Enough!” She Didn’t Rush Through Life. She Knew of His Affair and Even Knew the Girl He’d Been Seeing for Three Years. Time Had Scabbed Over the Wounds to Her Pride, Leaving Only a Lingering Sadness. She Forgave His Anger, Indifference, and Foolish Attempts at Recapturing His Youth, But She Refused to Let Anyone Rush Her Life, Savoring Every Minute. That Was How She’d Lived Since Discovering Her Illness. Month by Month, It Was Devouring Her. The First Urge Was to Tell Everyone About Her Fate, Parse the Brutal Truth Into Pieces to Share with Family. But After Spending Those First Terrifying Days Alone, Contemplating Her Mortality, She Decided to Keep Her Secret. As Life Slipped Away, She Gained a Kind of Wisdom, Learning to Simply Observe. She Found Solace in a Little Village Library, a Ninety-Minute Walk Away, Where She’d Disappear Between Bookshelves Labelled “Mysteries of Life and Death” and Seek Answers in Books. He Came to His Lover’s House—Warm, Bright, Familiar. They’d Been Together Three Years, Bound by an Obsessive Love that Saw Him Burning with Jealousy One Moment and Humiliated the Next, Unable to Breathe Away from Her Young Body. Today, He Made up His Mind: Divorce. Why Torture All Three of Them? He No Longer Loved His Wife—He Couldn’t Even Remember Liking Her. He Fished Out Her Photo from His Wallet and Tore It to Shreds, a Symbol of His Decision. They Agreed to Meet in a Restaurant—The Same Where They’d Celebrated Their 15th Anniversary Six Months Before. She Arrived First. He, Meanwhile, Stopped at Home to Hunt for the Divorce Papers, Tearing Through Drawers in a Frenzied Search. There He Found a Dark Blue Sealed Folder He’d Never Noticed. He Tore It Open, Expecting Anything—Even Blackmail Photos. But Instead, He Found Medical Reports and Official Hospital Documents, All with Her Name. Like a Jolt of Electricity, Realization Hit: She Was Seriously Ill. He Googled the Diagnosis, Reading the Chilling Prognosis: “6 to 18 Months.” He Checked the Dates—She’d Been Tested Six Months Ago. The Only Thing That Echoed in His Mind Was, “6 to 18 Months.” She Waited Forty Minutes at the Restaurant. No Answer to Her Calls. She Paid and Left. It Was a Glorious Autumn Day; The Sun Warmed the Soul. “How Beautiful Life Is, How Wonderful to Be on This Earth, with the Sun and the Woods.” For the First Time Since Learning of Her Illness, She Felt Sorry for Herself. Somehow, She’d Managed to Keep Her Terrible Secret from Husband, Family, Friends. She’d Tried to Give Them Peace, Even at the Cost of Her Own Happiness. Soon, All That Would Remain of Her Would Be a Memory. As She Walked, She Saw the Hope and Anticipation in People’s Eyes—Winter Coming, and Then After, Surely, Spring! She Would Not Have That Again. The Injustice Boiled Over in a Torrent of Tears… Back Home, He Paced the Room. For the First Time, He Felt Physically Overwhelmed by the Fragility of Life. He Remembered His Wife as She’d Been, When They Were Young and Hopeful. He Realized He Had Loved Her Then, That Their 15 Years Had Vanished in an Instant, and That Maybe, Just Maybe, Everything Was Still Ahead—Happiness, Youth, Life… In Her Final Days, He Became Devoted, Never Leaving Her Side, Transformed by a Newfound Love and Terror at Losing Her. He Would Have Traded Places with Her, If Only It Could Save Her. If Anyone Reminded Him That Just A Month Before He’d Loathed Her And Planned Divorce, He’d Have Said, “That Wasn’t Me.” He Saw Her Struggle to Let Go, Saw Her Crying at Night When She Thought He Slept. He Understood: There Is No Worse Punishment Than Knowing the Date of Your Own End. He Watched Her Fighting for Life, Grasping to Even the Most Delusional Hopes. She Died After Two Months. He Covered the Path from Home to Grave with Flowers and Wept Like a Baby as Her Coffin Was Lowered, Aging a Thousand Years in a Single Day… At Home, Under Her Pillow, He Found a Note, a Wish She’d Written on New Year’s Eve: “To Be Happy With Him for the Rest of My Days.” People Say All New Year’s Wishes Come True. Maybe It’s True—That Same Year, He’d Written: “To Be Free.” In the End, Each Got Exactly What, For So Long, They Thought They Wanted…

I despised my wife. Despised her Wed been together for fifteen years. Fifteen whole years of my life

She Was Quick to Scold Me in Front of All the Neighbours—My Mother-in-Law’s Garden Drama Left Me Furious and Packing My Bags —“What do you think you’re doing?” hollered my mother-in-law, standing amid the flowerbeds. “This is an absolute disgrace! I raised seven children and never had a single weed!” The neighbours rushed to their fences, eager to listen and gossip. Taking advantage of her audience, my mother-in-law voiced her complaints at full volume while I stood there speechless. At last, exhausted by her own tirade, she took a deep breath and declared, loud enough for everyone on the street to hear: I said nothing. I walked past her, holding my little one tightly. Back inside, I packed all the things she’d need into a box, as well as my son’s and my own. Without a word, I left. Three days later, she called: “What did you do with all the stuff the doctor prescribed? I asked our neighbour to buy some, but she said one jar is awfully expensive. And the rest is in a foreign language, so she won’t touch it. So what do I do now? You just up and left, took offence for no reason, and now I’m left here to die?” I didn’t answer. I turned off my phone and removed the SIM card. That was it. I was done—physically and emotionally drained. A year ago, just before my son was born, my husband died in a car crash on an icy road. Memories of his funeral and the ambulance fade in and out, but I remember waking up the next morning as a new mother, numb and despondent. Life felt pointless without my beloved husband. I fed and rocked my son because that’s what I was told to do, but nothing brought joy. Then the phone rang. “Your mother-in-law isn’t well. They say she won’t survive long without her son.” My decision was instant. I sold my flat in London, invested part of the proceeds in building a new home for my son’s future, and went to care for my mother-in-law. This year, I merely existed. There was no time for sleep, between my grieving mother-in-law and restless baby, both needing my round-the-clock care. Thank goodness I had money. I brought in leading specialists from across the country to treat her, bought every medicine prescribed, and nursed her back to health. At first, I wheeled her round the house, then the garden. Soon, she was strong enough to walk unaided—at which point… I knew I never wanted to see or hear from her again. Let her find everything she needs for her health on her own now. At least I managed to keep some of my savings. My son and I moved into our new flat. This isn’t the life I expected. I thought living with my late husband’s mother would fill the void, as I am an orphan. But now I know—sometimes, the only lesson for my son is this: not everyone deserves your kindness. Some people care more about a weed-free garden than they do about you.
