They met at a mutual friend's birthday party. Gabby, a giggly and cheerful girl, immediately took a liking to the charming and statuesque Mike. When he picked up the guitar and sang a heartfelt song, Gabby couldn't help but feel goosebumps. She had no chance but to fall in love with him.
Mike also noticed a spectacular blonde in a purple dress and invited her to go out the next evening.
They met at the mall and went to the evening movie session, followed by dinner at a restaurant. They spent the night walking through the city streets, talking tirelessly.
"I don't remember my parents," Gabby shared her story. "I've lived with my grandparents all my life. After school, I was looking for an opportunity to help them financially. I enrolled as a part-time student at the local college of management, studying service and tourism. I also worked as a waitress and later as a hotel maid at that time. After graduation, I started working in a travel company as a customer service specialist."
"And what does a specialist like you do?" Mike asked, with playful curiosity in his voice.
"My task is to offer the most suitable tours for my clients and ensure that travelers have the best impressions. You could say that I am responsible for their joy."
In turn, Mike shared his story, which was quite different from Gabby's. He came from a typical patriarchal family. "We have a big family. I have an older sister and a younger brother," Mike said, putting his jacket on Gabby's shoulders to keep her warm. "My paternal grandparents also live with us. My mom takes care of our family. You know, Gabby, my father always taught my brother and me that a man should be responsible for his family. He is my role model. I started working for my father when I turned fourteen. We have a family cheese factory. I worked there after school, five days a week, for a couple of hours each day. My father paid me a wage for each day. It wasn't much, of course, but money earned through labor is different from money received without working. You learn to save and spend it wisely."
Curious, Gabby asked, "What did you spend your first large sum of money on?"
"I bought an expensive denim jacket. It was fashionable at the time. But it didn't last long. Within a week, I got into a fight after school and tore it up so badly that even my mom couldn't fix it."
Gabby enjoyed listening to Mike's stories about his childhood, family, amusing quarrels with his siblings, and his business. Their first date was followed by a second, and then a third.
Two years later, they decided to get married, and Gabby was over the moon with happiness. She envisioned a wonderful life filled with love, care, and tenderness. After all, that's how fairy tales about good girls and princes end, right?
However, Gabby had no idea what could come after a "happy ending" in real family life, and soon learned this through her own bitter experience.
After the romantic honeymoon phase, quarrels and complaints began to emerge. The relationship became strained, often triggered by trivial matters such as a forgotten bag of garbage or an unwashed cup in the sink. Additionally, Mike believed that the word "wife" equated to the status of a "slave," constantly reminding Gabby: "You are my wife, and you are obliged..."
This was followed by a long list of obligations imposed on Gabby. Despite working herself, she was responsible for all the household chores. Due to her busy schedule, she couldn't always find the time to cook a hot dinner and serve it on the table.
"Mike, you could warm up the soup, cook yourself eggs or, in the end, order takeout! "said Gabby to her hungry and grumpy husband. "I really don't have time to cook."
"My mom had time for everything!" More than once, Mike informed his spouse, keeping silent about the fact that his mother was only a housewife. "And at home there should be home-cooked food, not cooked by someone unknown.
