My wife is a university teacher, I am the director of a state-owned enterprise, and my daughter is in the second grade of elementary school. She lives in affluent conditions and has a happy marriage. But it wasn't until I discovered the truth that everything was shattered
More than a year ago, she often mentioned in my ear an American foreign teacher from their school, saying that he was tall and powerful, and his lectures were lifelike, which was deeply loved by students. He kept cheering in his classroom. A foreign teacher is a very humorous person who is also very able to integrate into the collective environment. I always hear my wife talk about interesting things about having this foreign teacher, and it's all a pleasure.
There were two school teacher gatherings where the foreign teacher was invited to attend. After the gatherings, he took the initiative to drive every female teacher safely home, and finally gave it to my wife. After being sent home, he was strongly invited by my wife to come to my house. The first time I saw this foreign teacher, he looked like a very fierce person, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting when it comes to speaking Chinese. His Chinese is quite fluent, and every sentence he says is very appropriate and polite, as well as humorous. In order to express our enthusiasm, we made an appointment to have a drink together, and he readily agreed. My wife was also full of joy, as if I had become close friends with this foreigner.
After drinking with a foreigner, my wife and I got closer. Every day when we got home from work, we talked about the foreigner's affairs. At first, I was quite interested in listening, but after all, they were all men. My wife talked about the man in my ear every day, which made me feel a bit strange. So I started to dislike listening to my wife talk about that foreign teacher, but she didn't realize or understand what I meant, and instead talked more.
Over time, I don't know when I started to dislike this foreign teacher, until one time when my wife and I had an argument over a small matter, we brought out this foreign teacher. It seemed that he had escalated into a fuse in our argument, and my wife and I slept apart for several days. It took about a week to reconcile, and since then she has never mentioned that foreigner in front of me again.
I thought things had just passed and our lives had returned to mediocrity, but a text message completely shocked me. One late night, after my wife and I finished our homework, she went to take a shower with her phone under the pillow. I was smoking when suddenly a text message came from my phone. I took out the text message from under the pillow and saw that it was sent by the foreign teacher. It was already over one o'clock in the middle of the night and why did I still send the text message. The content of the text message is all in English, and I can't understand it. However, there are words like 'love' in it that I can still understand. A sense of marital crisis has arisen. I copied the text message and sent it to my phone. The next day, I found an assistant to translate it for me.
That night, I didn't want to ruin the party, so I didn't ask my wife. I didn't think about their relationship in that way either. But after my assistant translated for me, I realized that I had been cuckolded by that foreigner. They have been together for three years, and now that foreign teacher is trapped in a vortex of emotions and cannot extricate himself, I beg my wife to be with him. When I questioned my wife about the truth, she remained silent. I knew she had acquiesced, and our marriage was once on the brink. I couldn't accept betrayal, let alone deception. We agreed to divorce, but it lasted for six months. We haven't talked much in the past six months, but I don't want to leave her. I don't want to divorce, but I don't know how to let go of the pain!
