The burden

This is a true story:

after almost fifty years together, after countless beatings and life threats(in case she left him), after inumerous lovers and possible bastards being born all over the country, after inumerous public humilliations, after thousands, thousands of hangovers and spending half oh his life drunk, the husband leaves the wife. He throws her out. After she had endured all of these tortures and sacrifices, he leaves her for another woman. He stops the drinking, the beating, the swearing. He shaves, he has a daily bath and he has new teeth. In a year or so, another woman gets a new man and the ever-faithful wife gets thrown out. Never once she was respected, loved, cherished. Ever.There's no bigger humilliation than this.
