She literally stalked me. No matter where I went, she was already there. It was twelve years ago now. Back then, I was a die-hard motorcyclist, I only wore black sweatshirts, frayed jeans and biker boots, and I had long hair. Of course, I also had an outfit for special occasions. Then I wore a black sweatshirt, frayed jeans and white sneakers. Housework was an evil that I avoided whenever possible. But I liked myself and my life. So that's how she got to know me. \"You're my dream man.

Shortly before, I heard her say: \"You could at least go to the hairdresser, after all, my parents are coming to the wedding.\" Hours, no, days later and endless tears later, I gave in and got a fashionable short hairstyle, because after all, I loved her.<\/p>\n<p>And what the heck, I was manly, bold, almost free and it pulled on my head. And I was soooo sweet.<\/p>\n<p>\"Honey, I love you just the way you are,\" she breathed. Life was fine although it was a bit chilly on the head. Weeks of peaceful togetherness followed until one day my wife stood in front of me with a large bag under her arm. She took out a shirt, a pollunder (the word sends shivers down my spine) and a new pair of pants and said: \"Please try these on.\" Days, weeks, no, months and endless paper handkerchiefs later, I gave in and wore shirts, pollunders (\u00c4rrrgh) and pants. Black shoes, jackets, ties and designer coats followed.<\/p>\n<p>But I was masculine, bold, dead chic and it pulled on my head.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the biggest battle. The battle for the bike. However, it didn't last very long, because it's not very good fighting in a black suit that constantly pinches and tweaks. What's more, the patent leather shoes were pinching, which also wore me down.<\/p>\n<p>But what the hell, I was masculine, bourgeois, almost free, I drove a station wagon, and it pulled on my head.<\/p>\n<p>Many battles followed over the years, all of which I lost in a sea of tears. I did the dishes, ironed, shopped, memorized German pop songs, drank sweet red wine and went for walks on Sundays.<\/p>\n<p>What the hell, I thought, I was a wimp, trapped, felt ******* and it was pulling on my head.<\/p>\n<p>One fine day, my wife stood in front of me with her suitcases packed and said: \"I'm leaving you.\" Completely astonished, I asked her why. \"I don't love you anymore because you've changed so much. You're no longer the man I once knew.\"<\/p>\n<p>I recently met her again. Her \"new guy\" is a long-haired biker with ripped jeans and tattoos who looked at me with pity.<\/p>\n<p>I think I will send him a cap...<\/p>\n<p>Author unknown<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"display-post-types\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#dpt-wrapper-287 { --dpt-text-align: left;--dpt-image-crop: center;--dpt-border-radius: 5px;--dpt-h-gutter: 10px;--dpt-v-gutter: 9px;
