Jag har varit tillsammans med min pojkvän i två år. Han friade till mig, och självklart sa jag ja. Men något kändes fel han verkade inte ha bråttom att flytta ihop med mig.

Han bodde kvar i sina föräldrars rymliga trea mitt i Stockholm, medan jag kämpade på med mitt studentrum. Jag tycker det är viktigt att prova på att bo ihop innan man gifter sig, för att se om vi verkligen passar ihop. Jag tog upp det med min pojkvän, Sebastian, men han låtsades som om han inte förstod. Men så blev det plötsligt möjligt hans föräldrar skulle resa bort i två veckor, och vi fick chansen att bo ihop under tiden.

Jag gjorde mitt bästa för att vara den perfekta sambon. Jag lagade mat, städade, höll ordning och försökte skapa ett varmt hem. Varje dag överraskade jag Sebastian med svenska delikatesser och såg till att han trivdes.

Men det fanns ett problem. Jag bad honom dammsuga, men han vägrade och sa att det var “kvinnogöra”. I hans familj ansågs männen stå för ekonomin, inte för att hjälpa till hemma. Jag sa inget, men tänkte att när vi fick vårt eget hem skulle allt bli annorlunda.

När föräldrarna kom tillbaka hade jag skurat varje vrå, bakat kanelbullar och lagat middag för att göra ett gott intryck. Jag gick hem med känslan av att jag hade gjort mitt allra bästa.

Dagen efter berättade Sebastian att hans mamma tyckte jag var en dålig värdinna. Jag blev mållös. Första gången jag hälsade på var lägenheten långt ifrån så ren som nu. Varför talade hon illa om mig? Bullarna hon fått tyckte hon var konstiga och oaptitliga. Jag blev så sårad.

Jag tror att hon helt enkelt inte vill att Sebastian ska flytta hemifrån hon kanske har någon annan i åtanke för honom… Varför tror jag det? Efter att hans föräldrar kom hem har Sebastian blivit avvisande, och nu ses eller pratar vi knappt alls. Jag börjar inse att det nog inte blir något bröllop.

Vad tycker du?

När mina föräldrar skulle komma på besök, började jag städa hemma.

Some People Seem to Spread Misfortune Wherever They Go… (Just As My Nan Used to Say) Ah, if only your gran could tell you… There are people in this world who, the moment they walk into a room, leave the air feeling heavy—not because they’re frightening, but because there’s a weight to them. Behind them trails a shadow of bad luck. It’s not superstition or make-believe. I’ve lived long enough to see it time and again: after certain people, trouble always follows. Meet them, and suddenly— something breaks, something goes missing, something goes wrong, arguments start, illness strikes, misfortunes pile up… And you catch yourself thinking: “What’s happening to me, why am I plagued by bad luck ever since that encounter?” And do you know what’s the scariest part? Very often, if you think hard enough about a certain person… it becomes clear. Intuition doesn’t lie. Your heart senses when something is off. 1) The First Reason – Jealousy and Hidden Ill Will More often than not, it’s jealousy, my dear. They might smile to your face, talk sweetly to you, but inside their thoughts run: “I hope you fail! I hope you fall!” They won’t say it, of course. But they exude it. No matter how strong you are, you feel their vibe. And do you know what happens then? Your mind turns to mush. You start to feel tense for no reason. You become distracted. You make mistakes. You slip up. And then you say: “Ever since I spoke with that person, nothing’s gone right for me…” That’s how it works – jealousy is like poison, but it drips quietly. 2) The Second Reason – Some People Carry a “Dark Cloud” There are others—not necessarily bad people— but they are always miserable. Everything is a burden. They’re always complaining. Always full of gripes. Always blaming someone else. And when they sit beside you… it’s as if they drain your strength. They start in with: “Oh, there’s no hope…” “Oh, it’s just going to get worse…” “Oh, life is suffering…” And before you know it, that darkness rubs off on you. My nan used to say: “Avoid chronic complainers, or they’ll drag you down, too.” It’s not magic, it’s energy. Emotion is contagious like illness. Once upon a time, folk believed in the “evil eye,” which sticks to people like this. And later—they can pass it on to you just by telling you all about their woes and weighing you down. And my nan used to say: “Don’t listen to too many other people’s troubles. You can’t fix them—and you’ll end up carrying their burdens.” 3) The Third Reason – Some People Are Rotten to the Core Then there are those who are just… bad inside. Not angry. Just souls who feed on spite. They rejoice in others’ misfortune. They tear down anyone who succeeds. They gossip and make nasty comments. And they don’t even need to be against you—just being near such hatred, and it taints you. There’s a saying: “Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.” And honestly: being close to a bad person, spending time with them, doing favours, listening to their gossip… before you know it, their shadow falls over you too. And that’s when consequences appear. Not because God punishes—but because life won’t stand for filth around the pure. How can you tell if someone is just a warning or a real danger? Here’s a subtle distinction. Sometimes, the person doesn’t bring evil but acts as a signpost: “Be careful!” Like a red traffic light—it’s not to blame for an accident, it’s there to prevent trouble. Sometimes, life uses someone to show you: that you shouldn’t be there that you shouldn’t make that deal that you shouldn’t confide in someone that you’re too trusting So don’t rush to blame. Be sensible. What should you do if bad luck keeps following after someone? I’ll tell you the way our grandmothers would say it—plainly: ✅ 1) Watch for Signs If every time after a chat: you get sick, you argue at home, you make mistakes, troubles come, …it’s no coincidence. ✅ 2) Don’t Make Excuses Like “It Would Be Awkward” Many say: “But they’re family…” “But they’re a neighbour…” “But they’re a colleague…” Listen to me: nothing is more awkward than a shattered life. Your peace is more important than someone’s whims. ✅ 3) Guard Your Words With such people, never share personal matters. Don’t mention your plans. Don’t speak of the good things awaiting you. Some people, the minute they hear you’re doing well, it’s as if it pains them. ✅ 4) Limit Contact, Keep Distance, Stay Quiet There’s no need to have a row. No need to explain. Simply: less often, briefer, cooler. ✅ 5) If You Can Help, Help from a Distance Sometimes the person isn’t evil but is broken. If you can help, do so—but without sacrificing yourself. My nan used to say: “Save yourself first, then help others.” And most importantly If you feel someone is destroying you— don’t force yourself to put up with them. You don’t owe them kindness where they trample you. Don’t exhaust yourself over people who don’t respect you. If your soul feels constricted around someone— that’s a sign something’s wrong. And remember, my girl: The Universe always sends us messages—first a whisper, then a shout. If you don’t listen in time… you’ll be stopped with tears.
