After I heard this story from my friend, my attitude towards people changed radically, like my husband. We began to spend less time with friends, and much less to tell them about our life. No, we have not stopped trusting, and we are still on good terms with them, but we do not let anyone into our personal. And all after the unpleasant incident that happened to my friend Zoya and her husband Nikolai.
Zoya and Nikolay had bosom friends. And they were friends with them for a very long time. The husbands of my friend and her friend worked together for a long time. The women themselves studied together at the institute. Then Zoya got married first, gave birth to a child a year later. She introduced her friend to her husband's colleague, and those had an affair. But then the husband of a friend quit and found himself a more profitable job. A friend also found a high-paying job. Communication between couples has become more rare. Moreover, Zoya did not work at all, it turned out that she began to jump from decree to decree, the authorities did not like it, and she was fired under some pretext.
Nikolai had to work hard so that his four children and his wife did not need anything. But in principle, everything was fine with them. We bought a big house and started housekeeping. They gradually leveled their incomes, but did not become particularly wealthy. And that couple, the second, did not have children, were engaged in a career, often rested on the sea, lived for their own pleasure.
So, somehow Zoya and Nikolai decided to invite their bosom friends to their country house. They thought it would be a great idea to take the guys out of the city bustle. You could have barbecue, swim in the river, go to the forest. The weather was all the more wonderful. Zoya called her friend and said about her proposal. She was very happy, but said that first she would discuss everything with her husband, and then she would call and say if they were able to come. Zoe's friend put the phone on the table, it was clear from the sound, because she didn't even turn off the ringer. And then Zoya heard a lot of interesting things about herself and her family, and this shocked her.
As it turned out, friends considered Zoya and Nicholas to be dumb, who know absolutely nothing in life. In their opinion, because of their four children, they have to barely make ends meet from paycheck to paycheck. Zoe's house is a wreck, where it's a shame to invite people. Children are ill-mannered beggars, and in general, why was it necessary to give birth so much, you need to hand over half to an orphanage. Zoya is a little pig, who talks only about children, Kolya is an uncouth dork with whom there is nothing to talk about at all. Then the connection was cut off, and Zoya and Nikolai, who heard all this, sat in shock and even wanted to go to their bosom friends and express everything to their faces. But at that moment the phone rang, the husband of Zoya's friend called, he said that they would come to visit them at the weekend, Nikolai answered with approval and hung up.
Zoya and Nikolai talked about the whole situation, and decided to wait for the arrival of the guests. A couple arrived with some cheap canned food to the table and the same sweets for the children. Kolya immediately asked:
- Here your salary is so small, you can't even buy a good present! Well, okay, we will feed you deliciously, what a gorgeous table they have set. Zoey, the guys will eat right now, and then they will help us on the site, there is a lot of work.
The couple was shocked, and did not understand at all what was what, and Zoya also connected:
- Why do you still have no children?
- We do not want yet, we will have time yet, - answered the friend.
- Everything is clear with you. It's only pigalias and uncouth dorks who have children, but intelligent people must live for themselves, - said Zoya
From such words, the couple was simply dumbfounded. It was clear to them that Zoika and Nikolai knew everything, but they did not even know where. The guys didn't tell them anything, went about their business, and their friends came up with some excuse to quickly leave them.
What do you think about the situation? Zoya and Nikolai did the right thing? Maybe they needed to be softer with the guests or, on the contrary, tougher? What would you do?
