I picked him up - an inept, underhanded, gray-haired man. I spent years trying to make a normal man out of him, so he wouldn't be ashamed to show his face in public. And when I did, he just ran off with someone else. Of course he did, now that I've done that, any woman would want to marry him." What was the woman's chief mistake? In that, making the man change, she herself ceased to conform to his former demands. He has new, higher ones. If before he tolerated a grumpy wife, now that he has become a "sought-after commodity," the need to endure reproaches and admonitions has disappeared. A question for married people and for those who have a significant other: do you think that your beloved has stopped taking care of her appearance?
