The hero of my story is a common young man who falls in love with a beautiful woman of his age and marries her with the mutual consent of their parents with out any hurdles. The mutual understanding and love lasted for fifteen years of their marriage. In the meantime they gave birth to two children son and a daughter. After fifteen years they began to feel intolerant about each other and finding faults became their usual course of business. The husband got highly disgusted with the nagging behaviour of his wife. The wife also could not tolerate the autocratic attitude of her husband any more. Moreover, they got fed up with each others company and the glitter of marriage which remained for few years began to fade away in the due course of time.
The husband preferred to stay more in office in the company of his lady colleague who was very fashionable and having very good etiquettes. She had also a fine figure always draped in minimum clothing as per the demand of latest fashion and finery. Moreover lady was also married and having two children. She was not also satisfied with the marriage and very critical of her own vagabond spouce. The company of lady gave much solace to the husband and he began to spent more time with her. The lady appeared to him more accommodative and intelligent. Both developed a relationship and husband could not resist the temptation of her looks any more, which she enhanced with beauty aids. He announced his decision of divorcing his wife and marrying the lady after reaching home.
Leo Tolostoy once said, " why gambling is forbidden and not the dressing up of women in the prostitutecal finery, particularly meant to excite men, is not forbidden. That is thousand times dangerous than gambling. But the idea of tolostoy is very old and not applicable to present times. He would not have been tolerated by women rights activists, had he been living presently and had expressed such a point of view on women. Now we believe that it is the male mindset which is responsible for rapes and broken marriages and not the dressing up of women. Convictions and values change and society becomes more permissive with the passage of time which leaves no scope for judging the ethics of both the statements.
While resuming the story, the wife is taken aback on hearing the immediate decision of her husband to leave her for another women. But good sense prevails upon her and she reconciles with the reality and agrees to leave her immoral husband and live an independent life.
But the lady in question was neither in mood to leave her children nor her vagabond spouce. The relationship which she had developed with the man was sort of escapism sought by her from the drudgery of her routine life, with out considering the implications of it.
Now the man had no other alternative but to remain contended with his wife. The wife stoically continued the relation with no emotional scope for love or hate in it. Now she never nagged or loved her husband and the man who was under emotional breakdown never interfered in the matters of his wife. His possessive nature ,which he changed now, had made him autocratic.
Marriages are arranged in heaven and celebrated on earth, made for each other couples, Soul mates. These quotes sound very pleasant and lovely but this may not be true in reality. Human nature is subject to change and no man or even for that matter of fact woman can claim to remain loyal to their spouses through out their lives. Every person gets bored after living with the same individual for years together and it is not surprising if he or she looks for an alternate relationships. But how most of the couples remain together in spite of this trait of human behaviour present in all and only few persons prove themselves rebellions by separating with each other. It is not only the love that binds the couple to remain together but habit of living together and mutual interest in their children which persuades them to live together throughout their lives
