“He’s like a strawberry bathed in champagne… I’m everything for him! And he’s bad luck!” Masha sobbed for the third hour in Ira’s kitchen. - You imagine how hard it is for me with him!

Irina reassured her friend: "Mashulya, my girl, your Oleg will go crazy and come back. She will quickly understand how bad he is without you."

Ivan opened the door. Behind her was a drooping Oleg: "I will stay with you a little"

Ivan raised his right eyebrow: "Yeah? Is everything so bad? Well, come in."

After the third glass, the guest exhaled:

- Masha is choking me, you know …

- Yes, laaad !? - the owner muttered incredulously with words, - She "nurses" you, supports you in everything. Courts, cooks, cleanliness of the house. Maybe, of course, he is too lisp. So don't mind it. I would be happy with such a wife.

- The brain is plucking me out with tweezers, - Oleg continued, - and always does everything out of place, as luck would have it. Do you know why I got angry today?

- Mmmm?

- I offered to call all ours, wash a new "Audi". But Masha does not like guests, she resisted, she found a hundred excuses against the gatherings. I was tired and had already given up on persuasion.

- I sympathize…

- And yesterday, I apologize, my hemorrhoids became inflamed. She was worried, in the morning she ran to the pharmacy. Then I called at work 15 times and asked how I was. And I, you yourself understand - not really …

- Uh-huh, uh-huh, still, - Vanya assented.

- At 5 pm - bangs to me in a happy voice the news: "I decided to please you and have a party. I invited everyone to seven and cooked dinner." At first I freaked out - at the wrong time. And then I thought I missed you. And the car needs to be washed. He calmed down - well done, Masha, that she organized everything.

- We were surprised that she called herself, because she was not sociable. And here - gathers everyone.

- And she began her "concert" when we sat down at the table. Did you notice? - Oleg continued. - I was looking for the softest chair for me. She fussed, attracted attention. I brought a pillow. And she kept giggling. I began to get angry, I understood that now I would enlighten you about my sore. And when she began to raise her tone: "Oh! This happened to us! I even had to go to the pharmacy in the morning …" I could not resist and left. She would have started to announce on television!

- And we did not understand why you ran away, what kind of circus with the search for a "downy bed", and what secret Masha mysteriously wanted to tell.

- So … such a circus, - Oleg quieted down.

- It’s unpleasant, but it’s not a reason for parting. Your wife always praises you. He supports your hobbies, although you are always rushing about - first a guitar, then coins, and after a while - cactuses, - the landlord smiled.

- I just didn't tell. She doesn't give me life with anything. When I got carried away with the guitar - although I was "for", but kept laughing - an elderly person, they say, an artist was found …

And as soon as I started to study - she was vacuuming, chopping vegetables on a food processor or turning on the TV loudly. What are the rehearsals here? I was angry. Masha is hysterical that I don't like her, I don't respect her, I don't appreciate her care.

I was upset - I can not bear women's tears. And indeed - she is like Cinderella. And there are feelings for her. He apologized later that he flared up.

Coins are another story. She gave my collection to her nephew - they say that I am like a boy, I would have started collecting calendars. And she just threw out the cacti - prick her. And I did not see any benefit. She brought the geranium, put it on the windowsill and boasted to everyone. I watched her rejoice and thaw. Indeed, why do I need these cacti? And "kalachik" blooms beautifully and does not scratch anyone. I don't know, Vanya, what to do, and I love her and I can't live with her …"

Masha is an example of a wounded (hidden, introverted) narcissist.

More often women are like that.

They are not sociable. They present themselves as a "victim" who is offended and not appreciated. This is not the case, though.

To a partner and children, the narcissist often says: must; guilty; you do not love me; do not respect; Aren `t you ashamed; traitor. Forcibly pulls out of them attention, love, respect, duty. Manipulates, blackmails, deceives and can set up - in the story Masha tried to tell Oleg's friends about what should not be.

He envies and devalues, uses a "double message". The heroine shows this to her husband's hobbies - coins and cacti, which she got rid of. And to playing the guitar - which she supported, but laughed at and indirectly interfered with her studies.
