Husband refused to take his wife to corporate party & when he came home the next day, he was stunned

“You are already old for such a dress, I will not take you with me in such a form!” said the husband to his wife going to the corporate party. And when he came home the next day, he was stunned. Esther sat in the kitchen, tears streaming down her face. Before her stood an open bottle of wine—an expensive, elegantly packaged gift from a friend on her birthday six months ago. Esther had never been fond of alcohol, so the bottle remained untouched in the bar until tonight. "Well, it was helpful after all," Esther thought, recalling the look of contempt and almost hatred in her husband's eyes. She sighed deeply and poured herself another glass. The wine was delicious, offering a pleasant warmth in her chest, though it brought no relief from her sorrow. Hanging on the back of a chair was the dress that had sparked the argument. But was it really about the dress? Aaron had hurled accusations and insults with such vehemence, as if he had been holding them back for years, waiting for the right moment to unleash them on his wife. And the dress? It was just a piece of fabric that, an hour ago, had seemed like a wonderful garment, flattering Esther's figure. She had bought the dress for tonight's celebration—the anniversary of the company where Aaron worked as the head of sales. The event promised to be grand: a restaurant, invited celebrities, fireworks. Esther hadn't been out in so long; trips to the cinema with her grandchildren didn't count. She wanted to feel beautiful and important again, especially as the wife of such an influential man. Esther had imagined how wonderful the evening would be with Aaron. It seemed like it would be a magical celebration. She had gone shopping with her friend Martha, whom she had known since their first year at university. Martha was smart, beautiful, and always kept up with the latest fashion trends, so Esther trusted her completely with choosing an outfit for the corporate event. Esther herself preferred more classic styles—long dresses, modest cuts, and subtle colors. But Martha had other ideas. "Why are you looking at those old-fashioned dresses?" Martha exclaimed. "You're not even fifty yet! By today's standards, you're practically a young woman." "Come on, Martha," Esther laughed. "I have two grandchildren!" "So what? That doesn't mean anything. Look at me—we're the same age, and I'm still the mother of a school-aged child. So there." Martha was always full of life and energy, a true party girl. She made Esther try on dresses she would never have considered—bold colors and modern cuts. Surprisingly, they looked great on her, making her feel younger and more vibrant. Esther was amazed at her reflection in the mirror, and her mood lifted. She realized she still looked good, not like a grandmother at all. In the end, Esther chose a bright turquoise dress that Martha insisted brought out the color of her eyes. It was knee-length, with an open back and fitted top—a style Esther had never worn before. She loved how it made her feel—not like a housewife or a mother, but like a stylish, attractive woman. She even smiled, imagining Aaron's reaction. Maybe he would be impressed, and she would see that old spark of admiration in his eyes again. "I'll take it," Esther declared, looking at Martha. "Good choice!" Martha smiled approvingly. Esther hadn't shown the dress to Aaron beforehand; he hadn't seemed interested anyway. Lately, he had become distant and indifferent. It hadn't happened overnight but gradually, almost imperceptibly. Esther knew she was partly to blame—she had become too absorbed in her children and grandchildren, forgetting about herself and Aaron. He was the provider, and she was the homemaker. Their roles had been clear from the start, and everyone seemed content. But sometimes Esther missed the days when she was more than just a good housewife to Aaron—when she was his muse. He used to call her that and shower her with compliments. His eyes would light up when he looked at her, making her feel beautiful, loved, desired, and incredibly happy. They had met as university students in their final year. Aaron had boldly approached a group of girls, including Esther and Martha, as they strolled through the city center one evening. The girls had just finished their exams and were upbeat. Esther was particularly happy—she had aced all her exams and was looking forward to a summer break. Aaron was handsome and charming, the captain of the university's basketball team. He asked if he could join their walk, and they agreed. Aaron entertained them with jokes and stories about the historic buildings they passed. It was clear he was interested in Esther, and she was flattered by his attention. #storiesfromthebox #humanvoicestories #lifestoryvideos #liveyourbestlife #sadstory #familystory #sadlovestory #audiostory #amazingstory #cautionarytale
