Croatian leaves home to stay in the tent and saves his marriage

Written by  Apr 16, 2020

Staying at home is easy if you have a good, loving relationship with your flatmates, but after couple of weeks of isolation things might get a bit tricky! 

One funny story comes from Slavonia. As one reader tells the SiB.hr website, his neighbor has been married for thirty years, and he lives in harmony with his wife. At least that's what they believed while it was all normal and they could leave their home during the day.

The reader asked SiB.hr to keep the exact name of the village (it is a place near Osijek) secret so that he can preserve good neighborly relations.
So, the mentioned husband, decided to move from a long and harmonious marriage to his own oasis. He erected a tent near his own house, set up a "terrace" in front, because he could no longer stand to be with his wife in the house.

As the reader explained to SiB.hr, his neighbor is happy again and has been in excellent relations with his wife since he was in the tent.

-The neighbor has been in his tent for a few days now. He put a table, chairs in front of it, and occasionally our other neighbor comes over to drink some brandy. I visited him, too, and he says he has a great relationship with his wife now. He was bored, and says that 24/7 is way too much for him – SiB.hr reader wrote.

We don't know if this story is true but it has a happy end and it made us laugh – and that's what all of us need during these challenging times. Share your marriage isolation stories with us!
