My wife and I have been neighbors since childhood. At the school meeting, our parents often made fun of us. The wife is intelligent and beautiful. She is indeed the best choice for a wife. However, the falling flower is deliberately ruthless. After my wife had a boyfriend, I gave my blessing like a friend, but my heart was bleeding. Finally, the man went abroad to study, and soon got a girlfriend abroad, and broke up with his wife.
At that time, I appeared in front of my wife in time like an emotional trash can. Either because we were moved, or because of the intentional marriage between our parents, we finally became a happy couple.
Because each other's parents belong to the type of cheerful personality, and our marriage, the two families almost become a family. The neighbors all envy our family.
When the child was five years old, his wife and father died of illness. From then on, his wife became no longer cheerful. During that time, he almost had no communication with me. No matter how I please you, it won't help. My mother-in-law encouraged us to travel, but my wife was still unhappy. Last year, my mother-in-law died of illness and my wife became more introverted.
Recently, my wife rarely smiles on her face. Even when she comes home, she starts talking to me on her own initiative, and even goes to the kitchen with my mother. While I am pleased with the change of my wife, there is also an unspeakable hidden danger.
Out of curiosity, I began to pay attention to my wife's private life, and learned a message from a good friend of my wife: her ex-boyfriend has returned home, and is now divorced, and is close to my wife.
I suddenly felt a sense of loss and crisis. After confirming that my wife and her ex-boyfriend contacted frequently, I asked the man to meet alone, and the man agreed.
Maybe after spending more than ten years abroad, the man said directly after seeing me: I know what you want to ask. Let me tell you, I am really single now, but I never want to renew my relationship. That day, I just ran into your wife on the road. She asked me to make love, and I agreed. Your wife told me that her parents died one after another, which hit her very hard, and she can't forget me. So, every day at home is like having depression. Your wife also said that when I left, she wanted to die, but with you around, she gradually gave up the idea of suicide. At that time, she didn't want to fall in love, but her parents left her alone. She had to promise to marry you. And I have not been happy in foreign countries in recent years. I just want to start a new life when I come back. I didn't expect your wife to be infatuated with me. Although I have no intention of destroying your marriage, I will marry your wife if she divorce, for the sake of not blaming me.
The man's words are too direct, which makes me feel ashamed. At this moment, I don't know how to face it? I don't understand why a man who has lost his wife can't forget it.
Reply:
Who can define love exactly? So far, everyone has different interpretations of love in their hearts. From a moral point of view, your wife should not betray marriage in the role of a married woman; From the perspective of benevolence and justice, your wife should not be ashamed of you for being a heartless man.
However, your wife loves him. Even if he abandoned your wife mercilessly in the past, your wife does not hate him now. Even if she meets him again, she is willing to throw herself into his arms.
It is reasonable to say that you and your wife have been together for a long time. If she has love for you, she cannot be attracted to other men during love. You know, you are only her second choice.
Love may be like this. What others easily squander, or what you want to pursue in your life, you still get nothing in the end. Your wife has rarely smiled since her father died. Now the long-lost smile is shown on her face again. These are not the expressions she can pretend, but the true feelings.
There is a kind of love called fulfillment, and there is a kind of freedom called letting go. Since your wife has never really loved you, why should you stick to it? He is still a neighbor and hopes for a peaceful divorce.
