From the author: The story that unfolded before my eyes is like a movie. There is no blood or broken spears on this battlefield. There aren't even any broken plates. Instead of this unnecessary tinsel - billions of tormented nerve cells, kilograms of gold jewelry mixed with fur coats, liters of spent kerosene. Two very nice ladies, charming, fought tooth and nail in battle. Who will get this handsome guy? I look at the photo and see a well-preserved man. A strong torso, albeit with a visible belly. But at 45 it’s not even bad, a sign of health. Stylish haircut. Not a freak, but not a star either. Such an ordinary man. The eyes of the Prize Man - oh, how much voluptuousness there is in them. Then it’s clear why these ladies are so fussy. I have the feeling that this womanizer from the photograph is trying to seduce even me, a psychologist, with just his glance. Although, let's avoid the clichés! Why immediately a ladies' man. After all, I know that he did not go “to the left” from a good life. This man did not leave a good life, but from an excellent life! Prestigious profession, stable marriage, already 15 years. Two children, no longer so small when they never leave the house, but also not so old when it’s time to worry about temptations. Your own apartment in the metropolis - and no mortgage. I’m telling you, the work is good. In general, my hero gives the impression of a “real man.” Everything works out for him, his goals are achieved, women adore him. By the way, about women. My wife is quite herself, both her figure and her face. Fortunately, finances allow this woman not to limit herself to a cucumber mask. Plus, obviously working with a fitness trainer. Not quiet, with character. This is good. Such a woman feels like a lioness. Next to the lion. And another woman. Mistress. This one is just a panther. Faster, more graceful, younger. She has a purpose. Not just to have fun, but to create your own “pride”, your own family. The goal is honest - not only for yourself, but also for him. That other family - well, his wife is a strong woman, she won’t let the children go to waste. Nothing bad will happen to anyone, no one will die after he leaves. A fight between two predators. Our lion is tired of living in the hot prairies, next to noisy children and a demanding lioness. He flew off on a fast plane to his panther, basking under the shade of a palm tree. What can a lover give a man? Hot sex, adoration in his eyes, the feeling that he is 25 again. Promises and prospects. “I will give birth to your child, it will always be so good for us, because I know how to appreciate you.” The wife quickly realized that her husband had not flown away to a business conference. “He’s not a lion—he’s a goat!” she thought. And then she finished the thought: “I put my whole life into him, I made him a man!” He may be a goat, but he’s MY goat.” When the “conference” ended, the infidel returned, the wife did not hide anything. “Yes, I know everything. I know who she is. I know that I myself am to blame for what happened. I haven’t told you for a long time how much I admire you, our family. Look how much you and I have gone through, how much we have achieved! This is all because you tried, reached new heights. For our sake, for the sake of our family. Look what wonderful children we have! Your children! Oh yes, I can imagine how difficult it has been for you in the last couple of years. I am always at work, or at home. I didn’t let you feel that you were a man! You taught me a very cruel lesson, but I learned it. Do you remember when we were in Gagra, you said that I had gorgeous hips? And I felt like a queen. Only with you! I can't imagine anyone else being around, only you. Remember how good it was for us then! What nights those were! You and I were made for each other! That's why we have such a wonderful family. Let's not destroy it because of one mistake. Come to me, my love...” Yes, he remembers everything. Yes, there was some kind of cloudiness. Yes, he appreciates her. He loves only her. He made a mistake. She - oh, how generous she is! — I was able to understand and forgive. Gave me another chance! He won’t ruin anything else. “Darling, let’s change our wedding rings as a sign that we have a new life!” And at the same time, new earrings for you, to go with the ring.” A mistress living in another city receives a tragic text message: “Sorry, we have to.
