Maupassant's short story "The Bedside Agreement": The Duke of Chaul had to accept the lady-in-law reciprocal price
It was far from simple, and the Duchess of Charrühle referred directly to the duke by the names of the other gentlemen, which directly made him feel very uncomfortable.
Judging from the storyline, the Duchess of Sharul is still very well investigated into her husband. The Duke of Chaur had four mistresses, all of whom were prodigal goods, and in the words of the Duke of Chaur, these were all his dishes. In the face of the constant revelation of the Duchess of Shaur, the Duke of Sharur directly said good things, held back his anger in his heart, and praised his wife.
The next episode is a bargaining code, in which the Duchess of Charrühle asks for five thousand francs a month. The Duke of Charr did not think it was necessary to give his wife so much money, and even thought it was a fool's errand, and that sleeping with his wife needed to be paid. The Duchess of Charr thought she deserved it, and the Duke of Charr needed to buy his own lady, otherwise he could go to the sluts. The Duke of Charrur, a man of great good looks, had to agree to his wife's terms, and had to pay his own lady six thousand francs for the equivalent price.
The storyline ends here, in fact, in real life, there is no shortage of family couples in this relationship. In fact, they have lived together in name only, and for various reasons, they have to live together. Or rather, it is out of the balance of some relationship, or some kind of inextricable link of interests.
In fact, they could have chosen to divorce and end this marriage directly, it has reached this point, full of gunpowder, how much is the meaning of living together? In the end, I still hope that there will be more communication between husband and wife, a little more loyalty, and a little more tolerance. Once divorced, adults are easy to handle, and in the end, only innocent children pay for the marriage.
