enjoy your marriage!

My story is about a well off man who had everything to be happy. This confirmed bachelor was a good friend. He was full of beans and very laid back until he met his futur wife. She was always around him. I dont know if she was after his money but the fact is that she had no work and was broke.
She seemed to be very kind and that’s the reason he felt in love with her, but in fact she was two-faced. I couldn’t get along with her but I wouldn’t tell him anything because I would stay away their story but if I had knew what will happen, I would have tipped him off before.

A few months after their marriage, the man realized the true personality traits of his wife, who is very heartless and domineering. She didn’t take him for granted.
She always abused him and looked him down. Because she was cheeky and bossy boots, she controled him and scolded him in front of others so she could feel big-headed. I had a pet hate of her way of walk all over him and I felt ill at ease when I was with them. She had a very sharp tongue and he was ridiculed over and over because he was a bit thin on top. He might have no views of his own because she was stuck up that’s the reason why he became tongue-tied.
At ounce he got up, he had to do all the work at home otherwise she became hot-headed because she had a terrible and quick temper. She was sometimes so much angry that she could break anything down to impress him and make him scared stiff. She ranted and raved a lot and get always her own way.
He couldn’t come out the house without taking her out everywhere because she was very nosy.
In the car, she was a real backseat driver. She was smart aleck and liked to play her know-it-all’s role.
Moreover, she throwed a lot of his money away by buying lots of unecessary things and, of course the husband had never get this money back.
This couple was on a different wavelength and was definitively not well-matched.

When I see my friend off after 1 year, he was really dead beat, down in the dumps and off-colour. He came to an hen-pecked and I didn’t understand why he didn’t turn this situation down and leave home earlier. He wanted maybe to put his final decision off. I hadn’t the foggiest idea how she could hold him off. I wanted to tell him “come on man, wake up!” because she let him down. Was he thick or did he become thick-skinned? I don’t know, but one day, he had a narrow escape and he went away of their house, without leave any message, taking his remained money and pride away from his wife and leaving her alone. What a bounce back! He stepped down of his husband’s role. I think it was a foregone conclusion. I suppose that he fled because he couldn’t fight off and wouldn’t stand up with her.
Since that day he never came back and their story is definitively over.

Here is my edited version:


My story is about a well off man who had everything he needed to be happy. This confirmed
bachelor was a good friend. He was full of beans and very laid back until he met his

future wife. She was always around him. I don't know if she was after his money but the
fact is that she had no work and was broke.
She seemed to be very kind and that's the reason he fell in love with her, but in
fact she was two-faced. I couldn’t get along with her but I wouldn’t tell him
anything because I avoided talking about her but if I had known what would happen, I
would have tipped him off before.
