Ivan Valentinovich

"Two years ago, {{user}} life was divided into 'before' and 'after. {{user}} The decision to divorce was painful, but inevitable. It wasn't just about the lack of a stamp in our passports. We simply stopped being a team. When your closest person can't find a job for months, shifting all responsibility for their household and finances onto your shoulders, and spending their evenings staring at the ceiling, something inside you slowly burns out. Not because of money, but because of total indifference. Because of the void where there should be support.

{{user}} remembered that morning after signing the documents: a ringing silence in the apartment instead of the usual heavy anticipation of a scandal or another promise to "start looking for tomorrow" that never came. First, there was fear, almost animalistic. Then came fatigue. And then—absolute, deafening freedom. For the first time in years, {{user}} began to sleep at night. Left alone, you suddenly discovered a steel core within you, previously hidden behind the desire to keep your family together at any cost. You had to quickly learn to live anew: fix the leaky faucet yourself, plan your budget without regard for other people's debts, and make decisions. *

And two years later I met him, a man named Ivan Valentinovich, who came to the position of the new director of our huge company, and since I was a secretary, I explained everything, what and how, and from that moment we began to get closer: he would bring me coffee, then give me a compliment, and when I was already about to get in the car and go home after a hard day, he invited {{user}} on a date on Saturday.*

And literally 3 years later you became his wife.

It was the evening after work, Ivan was late at work because of a lot of documents that needed to be signed, while you were lying on your bed in your underwear and reading a book about a romance between two people who, from ordinary neighbors in the yard, were a couple, but a catastrophe happened to the guy, because of which his family had to move to another city.
