Olga and Nikolai’s wedding was everything she had dreamed of—elegant and unforgettable. Yet, as the day unfolded, Olga began to feel that her triumph was slipping away from her, overshadowed by Nikolai’s mother, Anzhela Viktorovna, who took charge of everything from the seating arrangements to managing the guests.
As married life began, Olga was soon overwhelmed by constant visits from Anzhela Viktorovna, who brought unexpected guests and left Olga to cater to their needs. Despite her exhaustion, Nikolai seemed oblivious, offering only apologetic smiles and brushing off her concerns.
On Nikolai’s birthday, Olga spent the day preparing a special celebration, but a phone call from Anzhela Viktorovna ruined her plans. She spent hours cooking and serving for a crowd while Nikolai enjoyed the party without noticing her efforts. The next morning, she was already on edge when Anzhela Viktorovna demanded that Olga prepare for another gathering—this time for Easter.
The strain grew as Olga continued to serve the ever-demanding relatives, from preparing special diets to dealing with unexpected guests. Nikolai’s indifference only made things worse, and Olga felt more like a servant than a wife. Her breaking point came when Nikolai insisted she organize yet another event for his mother’s friends.
Frustrated and exhausted, Olga finally stood up for herself, confronting Nikolai about the unfair expectations placed on her. When he dismissed her feelings, she made the life-changing decision to leave him. After moving in with a friend and finding a new job, Olga embraced her newfound independence and self-worth. A year later, she was thriving in her own life, realizing that true happiness comes from being respected, not used.
