RE: ADSactly Short Stories - Let Nothing Put Asunder
The story leaves us surprised - we expect that by the way things advance and the hints provided to us that the wife is planning something colossal and harmful behind her husband back, prpbably with the addition of another man to the picture - a lover with whom she plans to get rid of her husband and start a new life. But the story evolves in a surprising direction! The house we were sure is intended for her runaway turns to be a house she built for them, or at least - it'sthe impression we get. That'swhat makes it so interesting - that we don'tknow what really lies here - we can only imagain.
This story touches an open wound of our modern technological world and economy - people care for their careers and financial status, but at the same time the do also care about their children and family and try their best to compensate them - smartphones, expensive schools and so on, they also do this things in the thought that with the phones they will keep good contact with their children. But - this is not a solution of course, a digital and far relations are nothing like a close, real world relations. This theme is applied on the wife and husband relations too - its just that a husband and a wife can seperate and this situation repeats itself over abd over.
Is there a solution? I dont really know - personally i would prefer earning less and having time for tge wife and children, but im not sure every one will be willing to do that. Anyone has a smart solution to suggest? I would love to hear!
