Nikolay Mikhailovich enjoyed very close,some would even say,oedipalrelation with his mother. He seemed to report about all the,even most insignificant,events to her. and he always ended his letters with "i kiss you with all my soul". once, nikolay`s brother visited is mother,and olfa feodorovna admitted that she would have preferred nikolay to his spouses.
What`s interesting, she always informed him about the weather wherever she was. And at times she even draw something like a smiley at the bottom of the page. And of course she complianed about her sleeplessness, how stupid other people were, how tired she was etc. she even informed hi about her constipation
she was "a very active"consort acompanying her husband to diffrent occasions. Whenever couldnt attend an event she atended for him. Se often took her children to such occasions.
On the whole,family life of olga feodorovna &mikhail nikolaevich was stable. when in 1885 olga feodorovna spent a lot of time in the south of fraisnce mikhail nikolaevich complained of his loneliness.
apparently, hiswife`s faults didn`t prevent the couple from enjoying harmonious relationship. may be, teir contrasting personality just suitedeach other?
