My name is Xiao Wang, I am 28 years old this year, and I am an ordinary office worker. My wife Xiaomei and I were high school classmates, and we got married after college. She has been married for 5 years now.
Xiaomei is a gentle and virtuous woman, and our relationship has always been very good. My mother-in-law also likes Xiaomei very much, and always says that she has found a good daughter-in-law. My father-in-law retired at home last year and has a more traditional and conservative personality, but he is also very good to us as a couple.
I'm usually very busy at work, and I often need to travel on business. This time, I received a notice from the leader that I needed to go to the branch to help them solve a big project. This meant that I needed to be away from home for a whole month.
I said to Xiaomei: "Honey, this time I need to go on a business trip for a month, you should pay attention to safety at home alone." If you need anything, just tell your mother-in-law, and I will rush back as soon as possible. ”
Xiaomei nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will take care of myself." You have to pay attention to your body at work, and you just need to come back safely in a month. ”
I looked at Xiaomei's gentle eyes, my heart was full of love and reluctance, and kissed her cheek: "I will miss you, a month will pass soon." ”
A month later, at the end of the business trip, I finally got home. The scenery in the neighborhood was the same as it was a month ago, and I was soon at my doorstep with my suitcase through the familiar paths.
"Honey, I'm back!" I shouted as I opened the door.
"Welcome back!" Xiaomei greeted her with a smile, but there seemed to be some reluctance in her smile.
I hugged her into my arms and asked affectionately, "How are you doing this month?"
"Well, it's all good, what about you?" Xiaomei's tone was a little cold.
"It's okay, I just think you can't think about it!" I quipped.
Xiaomei didn't answer, just let out a soft "um".
At this time, my father-in-law also walked over slowly: "Xiao Wang is back, it's hard work!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!" I smiled and said hello. My father-in-law's expression didn't seem quite right.
The mother-in-law was busy cooking in the kitchen, and said, "It's good that Xiao Wang is back, we are preparing to eat, let's eat together." ”
I washed my face and sat down at the dinner table with my family. The family of four had nothing to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. I looked at Xiaomei and my father-in-law, and I always felt that they were a little absent-minded.
At this moment, Xiaomei's mobile phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it, and her face turned ugly.
"Aren't you answering the phone?" I asked with concern.
"It's fine. Xiaomei put her phone on the table, her face becoming more and more ugly.
The mobile phone rang one after another, and the mother-in-law looked at Xiaomei and said meaningfully: "If it's an important call, you can answer it." ”
I was shocked, what does this mean? Could it be that Xiaomei met another man when I was away?
The mother-in-law and father-in-law had a difficult face, bowed their heads to eat and were silent. My heart was in my throat, and worries and doubts filled my heart.
Xiaomei hung up the phone and came back, her face was very bad, and she didn't eat anymore.
"Is it your friend?" I asked tentatively.
"Hmm. Mei replied briefly.
"What kind of friend is so impotent, you are married and still annoyed you so much?" I'm a little annoyed.
Xiaomei didn't speak, just glared at me coldly.
Mother-in-law and father-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are tacit. I felt that the truth of the matter was right in front of me, but I was still trying to hide my surprise and pain.
After eating, Xiaomei stood up and was about to go out. I couldn't help but take her hand and ask, "Where are you going?"
"What's the matter with you?" Xiaomei shook off my hand, and her tone was cold.
"You're still my wife, and I have the right to know who you're going to see!" I raised the volume.
"I'm just tired of this life! With tears shining in her eyes, Xiaomei turned around and ran out.
Watching Xiaomei disappear into the doorway, my mind was a mess. My mother-in-law came over, patted me on the shoulder, and sighed: "Xiao Wang, don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault." ”
I asked in disbelief, "Mother-in-law, what the hell is going on?
The mother-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, during your business trip, Xiaomei often goes out with a man named Xiao Zhang, and the relationship looks very good." ”
I clenched my fists in anger: "How could she do such a thing? We've been married for 5 years!"
It turned out that as soon as I left, Xiaomei began to go out frequently. Once, the mother-in-law saw Xiaomei walking with a tall and handsome boy, and the two seemed to have an ambiguous relationship. The mother-in-law felt that the situation was serious, so she discussed it with her father-in-law. My father-in-law said that Xiaomei may be lonely, and we should care more about her.
"In other words, Xiaomei not only has a relationship with men outside, but also has an affair with her father-in-law?" I asked in shock.
The mother-in-law nodded with red eyes. I couldn't control myself anymore and asked my father-in-law loudly: "Father-in-law, how can you hurt me and Xiaomei? You are ruining our family!"
The father-in-law also looked remorseful: "Xiao Wang, I really know that I was wrong." It's me who was confused for a while, please forgive me!"
"I just want to get a divorce right now!" I said angrily.
My mother-in-law advised me to calm down, this matter should not be rushed, and we sat down and talked slowly. The three of them drank tea with their heads bored and were speechless for a while.
After a long time, Xiaomei came back. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she seemed to have just cried. When I saw her like this, I felt distressed and angry in my heart.
Xiaomei also saw the faces of the three people present and knew that something was wrong. She choked up and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have betrayed you." ”
Who is that man named Xiao Zhang, and how far has your relationship go?"
Xiaomei couldn't cry: "He is my college classmate, and he happens to work in this city. We met by chance a few days ago, and then I often went out to eat and go shopping. It's just a relationship with ordinary friends, and nothing happens. I really know it's wrong, so forgive me this time. ”
I sneered, "Just because you go on dates frequently, and you want me to believe that I'm just an ordinary friend?
"There's really nothing else, I swear!" Mei pleaded.
"Then what's the matter with you and your father-in-law? don't tell me you're also ordinary friends!" I asked sarcastically.
"You're betraying me!" My tears finally welled up in my eyes, "Is our relationship so worthless after so many years of marriage?"
Xiaomei also cried bitterly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, you just beg me to beg you, don't divorce, okay?"
The mother-in-law persuaded: "You young people, there will be some twists and turns on the emotional road, so it's better not to rush to divorce." ”
I choked up and said, "I can't figure it out right now, I need to be alone." ”
So, I chose to go back to my parents' house for a while. Under the persuasion of my parents, I gradually calmed down. I'm also responsible for what happened. Because I was so busy with work, I ignored my wife's feelings.
A few days later, I called Xiaomei and wanted to have a good talk.
Xiaomei cried and said, "You can call me, it's the happiest thing for me during this time." I really know what I'm doing wrong and I'm willing to start over and hopefully you'll give me a chance. ”
I was silent and said after a while, "I still need time to accept all of this now." Let's calm down for a while, and I'll contact you again when I figure it out. ”
Xiaomei choked up and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." Whatever you decide, I'll accept it. ”
Hanging up, I fell into deep thought. Where do I go from here with this marriage?
These days, I've often been stuck in memories of the past. My love time with Xiaomei was so sweet, and the days after marriage were peaceful and happy. Now that I think about it, I ignored Xiaomei's inner feelings. Because I'm too busy with work, will she be lonely and empty at home alone?
In order to find out this, I decided to talk to Xiaomei again.
I came to our home. After Xiaomei opened the door, her eyes were red and her face was pale.
"You're here. Her voice was weak.
"Let's have a good talk. I said.
Xiaomei nodded and asked me to come into the house and sit down.
"How are you doing during this time?" I asked with concern.
Xiaomei's tears flowed again: "I'm having a bad time, staying at home all day, and I don't know when you'll come back." I really know it's wrong, I was just confused for a while, and I've cut off contact with Xiao Zhang. ”
I nodded, and then asked, "Can you tell me what happened between you and your father-in-law?" ”
I was silent for a long time before I asked, "Did my father-in-law take the initiative?"
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "I know it's not going to be easy for you either. Perhaps, if there is a problem between us, I am also responsible. ”
"No, it's all my fault!" Xiaomei cried loudly.
I walked over and took her into my arms. "Don't cry yet, let's talk slowly. Marriage requires two people to work together, and I can't blame you for all the problems. ”
Xiaomei cried in my arms for a long time before she gradually calmed down.
"Give me some time to think about it. I said to her, "I still need to think about this marriage." But no matter what, I'm not going to leave you like that. ”
Xiaomei held my hand tightly and looked at me with teary eyes: "Thank you for giving me hope." I will wait for you and will try to make up for it as well. ”
When I left, it was getting late. The cool breeze blew and I paced the streets alone.
What should I choose about this marriage? Should I forgive Xiaomei, or should I end up with a divorce? All kinds of thoughts came to my mind, and I felt more dazed and painful than ever.
I pondered for a moment and said, "I see what you mean. But I'm still in turmoil right now, and I need time to come to terms with all this. ”
"I respect your choice. The mother-in-law nodded, "However, you must also know that even if you get divorced, you will not be able to go back to the past." It's better to give yourself and Xiaomei a chance to start over. ”
I thanked my mother-in-law and went for a walk in the park alone. My mind is full of bits and pieces with Xiaomei. We were so loving, so sweet. Can I really bear to give up this relationship like this?
Just as I was hesitating, my phone rang. It was Xiaomei who called.
"Hey, I'm Xiaomei. On the other end of the phone, Xiaomei's voice sounded weak.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" I asked with concern.
Listening to her cry in pain, my heart softened. We loved each other so much, how could I bear to let her despair like this?
"Don't cry, let's meet and talk. I whispered.
So we made an appointment to meet at a café. When Xiaomei came, her eyes were swollen like peaches. I was so distressed.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" As soon as she saw me, Xiaomei couldn't stop crying.
I held her hand in the palm of my hand and whispered, "I'm responsible, too." Stop beating yourself up. Let's talk slowly. ”
So, we sincerely listened to each other's hearts, confessed our mistakes, and told the pain and longing during this time.
By the end of the conversation, it was already dark. I sent Xiaomei home, and we hugged for a long time at the door.
"Give me some time to think about it. I said to Mei, "But whatever my decision is, I'll let you know." ”
Xiaomei nodded and watched me leave. I know that I already have the answer to the decision about this marriage
