A woman calls me recently; she was advised to contact us by our friends. He asks for help, says the situation is bad, the relationship is bursting at the seams. I say, we have a personal escort for these situations, but it’s not cheap, so let’s do an introductory meeting, I’ll listen to what’s going on, and you see if we’re right for you.
Coming. Problem, he says, I want a divorce! My husband disappeared at work, came home, ate, and then went straight to bed. He doesn’t care about me and my daughter.
– What’s missing,” I ask her?
– We used to go out together, walking, talking, laughing, going to Rhodes for a vacation. I forget when that was. I sit in four walls with my daughter, like in a prison. No talking, no going out together.
– Where does the husband work?
– Something is transported all over the country. After I gave birth, he took two more part-time jobs so I could babysit my daughter.
– What is his schedule?
– He goes out at 6 a.m. and doesn’t come back until 8 p.m.
– Have you tried talking to him about it?
– Yes. He fell asleep on the chair in front of me. He acts like an animal! Problem! Where was I, the fool, looking when…?
– What do you think is really important to a man who works 14 hours a day for his family?
…A prolonged silence. Her gaze drifts past me for about three minutes. Suddenly she smiled, and then made a movement, as if she was shaking something off.
– Well, thank you, I’m off to make something delicious for my husband.
– Wait, what about the escort? What’s the problem?
– That’s it, I solved it.
– How did you decide?
– I’ve decided that’s no longer a problem!
That’s it, that’s the end of the “accompaniment”, and that’s a pity…. It lasted 10 minutes and 43 seconds.
I, of course, had something inside me, but the pleasure that this short conversation had helped her took over.
P.C. The famous Marx, who is now trending again, used to say: “If people have formulated a problem, then it has already been solved. And if it is also talked to specialists, it can be solved immediately.
