Two real stories.

Yesterday I rented and watched the movie "Two weeks notice" with very handsome Hugh Grant and beautiful Sandra Bullock.It's a story about relationship between a very rich and spoiled man and an intelligent woman. This relationship, after some challenges, came to the happy end. But I don't believe in any kind of mesalliance. The happy end of relationships between people with different social status is impossible, in my opinion. I would like to tell two real stories.
One of them is about relationship between my friend, Helena, and a rich man, Jack. They met each other by the date service. Jack was well-educated and had a high salary. Helena just came to Canada. She was without any financial support. At the beginning Jack was extremely nice: bougth a car for my friend, invited her mother from Russia, supported my friend and her two children. But when love chemicals disappeared, he became rude and finally suggested:"You can stay with me in my house, but your daughter (she was 13-years-old at that time) must get out". My friend had no choice: she could not stay without her young daughter, and she left the house. But being emotionally involved in this relationship, she suffered for a long time. At present time she cannot experience sincere love. She started to use men.
Another story have not ended up yet. But, I think, there will be no happy ending for it.
Irina is much younger,than her partner, Stuart. She is 31; he is 59. Stuart is much richer than Irina. She recently divorced her husband, a very rich Russian, due to his infidelity. She works, raises her 1-year-old son, supports her mother, and wants to love and to be loved (simple woman's happiness). I don't know how thay have met each other, but their relationship has continued for three months.He phones her, invites her to his home. She always goes by taxi, when he wants her to come. He never pays her way, he never gives gifts, and never calls from France, when he goes there ( both of his former wives live there). He presented her to his mother and friends. It's an unusual event,because before he never presented his girlfriends. Irina thinks that is a good sign. No doubt, she is emotionally involved in this relation. She obsesses with idea to show him:"I am a human being. I am valued. He must estimate and appreciate my high personal qualities". Poor woman...
By the way, I have seen the DVD with above-mentioned movie on sale. It costs cheapper and cheapper... Nobody believes in this kind of fairy tales. How about you?
