З життя
Повернення чоловіка на три дні раніше: усе, що ви собі уявляли, але ще гірше…
На три дні раніше повернувся Олександр з рейсу додому. Все, як ви подумали, та ще й гірше…
Родина Іваненко завжди була на хорошому рахунку в усіх: люди їх шанували, знали як доброзичливих і приємних співрозмовників. Оксана — натуральна блондинка, вишукано красива, з добрим серцем та привітна. Олександр — статний і ввічливий капітан-добродій, та й сам має неабияку привабливість.
Їх родина була просто взірцем щасливого подружжя. По магазинах вони ходили разом, тримаючись за руки, і хто їх бачив — відзначав, що від них віє справжнім коханням. З роками їхні почуття лише зміцнювались, і вони залишалися прикладом для багатьох. Жодна необачна суперечка ніколи не закрадалася між ними. Єдине, що трохи нависало тінню над стосунками — це Олександрова ревність, яку той ретельно приховував.
Олександр служив на флоті, і коли йому потрібно було йти в рейс, він завжди прощався з Оксаною та їхнім маленьким сином важким серцем. Цього разу він також попрощався, обіцяв повернутися через десять днів. Важка вахта підводника вимагала пильності та зусиль, але несподіваний наказ повернутися в порт через проблеми з технікою приємно здивував його: він міг обійняти свою кохану на три дні раніше.
Того вечора він приїхав додому пізно, але натхненний і повний надій. Коли Олександр зайшов в квартиру, відчув легке хвилювання – світло в спальні не було погашене. Потихеньку підкравшись до дверей, він заглянув туди. Картина, яку він побачив, стала для нього холодним душем: дружина, його Оксана, була не одна у ліжку.
Олександр відчув, як весь його світ валиться перед очима. Він не знав, скільки простояв у дверях, утративши відчуття реальності. Відчуття зради і гніву змусило його кинутись на кухню. Взявши космічну вилку, яку свого часу їм подарували на весілля, він повернувся до спальні і без вагань використав її на «борця з його честю».
Шум, який учинив цей інцидент, збудив всіх сусідів. Але як тільки Олександр відступив і збирався покинути квартиру, він опинився перед розгубленою Оксаною, яка стояла у передпокої в халаті з мокрим волоссям. Неймовірне збите повідомлення про те, що вона в душі була, а на ліжку не хто інший, як її брат Дмитро з дружиною Світланою, стало шоком для Олександра.
Олександр втратив свідомість, а коли до нього повернулася здатність міркувати, виникла серія смішних і водночас болісних моментів. Все обійшлося без серйозних наслідків, і навіть лікар з гумором прокоментував Дмитру, що виключає проблеми з гемороєм у майбутньому. Щоправда, його дружина, хоча й швидко одужала, все ж деякий час заїкалась на ніч.
Життя потекло своїм руслом. Олександр і Оксана продовжували крокувати разом у ногу, тримаючись за руки, хоч близькі зауважили, що Олександр тепер віддає перевагу дзвінкам у двері, замість того щоб непомітно заходити в квартиру. І, на радість усім, родина залишилася цілою і непорушною, а брат з дружиною після цього завжди намагалися скоріше повернутися додому.

My Sister-in-Law Spent Her Summer at a Holiday Resort While We Renovated the House, and Now She Expects to Live in Comfort With Us We suggested pitching in together with my sister-in-law to renovate the family home, but she flatly refused, claiming she didn’t need it. Now she wants to move in with us because her half has no modern comforts—her own fault! The house belonged to my husband’s grandmother, and after she passed, it was split between my husband and his sister. It was old and neglected, but we decided to renovate and make it our home. It’s a semi-detached property with two entrances, so two families could live there comfortably without getting in each other’s way. The garden and outbuildings are shared, and both sides have the same number of rooms. The inheritance was sorted after we married, and everything went smoothly. My mother-in-law immediately declined her share—she was a city person through and through. She told her son and daughter to do as they liked. My husband and my brother-in-law scraped together enough to repair the roof and shore up the foundations. We wanted to keep going, but my sister-in-law threw a tantrum. She wanted nothing to do with this “shabby old cottage.” Her husband just kept his head down—he never argues with her. We planned to move in. The village was close to town, we had a car, and were sick of living in a cramped one-bedroom flat. Building from scratch would’ve cost a fortune. For my sister-in-law, the house was just a holiday destination—she’d pop over in summer to barbecue or relax. She told us not to count on her help. Over four years, we completely renovated our half: bathroom, heating, electrics, new windows, even a conservatory. We took out loans, but it was worth chasing our dream. We worked tirelessly, day and night. All this time, my sister-in-law jetted off on holidays, showing no interest in the house or her share. She lived for pleasure—until she had a baby and went on maternity leave. That was the end of her travels and her cash flow. Suddenly, she remembered her share. With a baby in tow, she wanted space and fresh air for him to run around. By then, our half was finished and we’d let out our old flat. We never touched her side, but it had deteriorated badly over the years. I don’t see how they could have stayed—no heating, outdoor loo, it was unliveable. Even so, she turned up with her suitcase and begged to stay “just a week”—I let her in. Her son is loud, and like her, she does whatever she wants with no regard for anyone else. I work from home, so it drove me mad; I moved in with a friend for a bit, who actually appreciated having someone look after her house while she was away. I ended up staying away almost a month. First at my friend’s, then my mum fell ill and needed care. Honestly, I forgot about my sister-in-law, assuming she’d long since gone home. Imagine my shock when I returned and found her still there, making herself at home. I asked when she planned to leave. “Why would I go anywhere? I have a small child and I’m comfortable here,” she replied. “We’ll take you back to town tomorrow,” I said. “I don’t want to go.” “You haven’t even bothered to clean your side, so back you go—this isn’t a hotel.” “You’ve no right to throw me out! This is my house!” “Your house is on the other side of the wall. Go stay there.” She tried to turn my husband against me, but he also told her she’d outstayed her welcome. She sulked and left. A few hours later, my mother-in-law started ringing: “You had no right to kick her out—it’s her property!” “She could have stayed in her own half, she’s the lady of that house,” my husband said. “With a child? There isn’t even heating or a proper loo! You should have looked after your sister.” My husband finally lost his patience and told his mum everything: how we’d offered to renovate together, how it would have cost less—and she’d refused. Why was everyone blaming us now? We offered to buy her out—she named a price so high we could have bought a brand new house for it. Not a satisfactory solution for us. Now there’s constant tension. My mother-in-law is perpetually offended. Alina is a nuisance. They visit rarely, but when they do it’s noisy parties, petty sabotage, and damages in the garden. We’ve decided to build a fence and completely separate our section. There’s no more compromise—that’s what my sister-in-law wanted.
My sister-in-law spent her holidays at a cosy seaside resort while we were knee-deep in renovating our house, and now...
