My name is Zhang Li, I am 35 years old, and I have been married to my wife Li Mei for 7 years. We were college classmates and had a happy life after getting married. Li Mei has a gentle personality and takes care of our 5-year-old son Xiaobao at home. I'm busy at work and need to travel a lot.
Recently, I always feel that Li Mei is a little absent-minded, and sometimes she suddenly wanders, as if she is thinking about something. Once, I came back from a business trip and saw that she received a message from a strange man with only one sentence "I miss you". I asked casually, and Li Mei said that it was the wrong group for the class reunion. I didn't think much of it at the time.
One weekend, I was working from home, and Li Mei took Xiaobao out to play. I sent a message to ask them to come back for dinner, only to find that Li Mei's phone was on the coffee table. I just picked up her phone and sent a message, only to suddenly see her chat history with a man named "Wang Jun".
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Li Mei returned. As soon as she saw me holding her phone in my hand, her face turned white and her lips began to tremble.
I tried to control my emotions and asked her seriously, "Li Mei, who is this Wang Jun? What do your chat records mean?"
Li Mei said in a panic: "It's just, it's just a friend, sometimes chatting." ”
"Friend, that's too much of a joke, isn't it?" I raised my voice, "You tell me the truth, do you have anything to do with him!"
"No, no!" Li Mei said anxiously, "It's just an ordinary friend, you can't think about it!"
"I'm thinking?" I was so angry that my face turned red, "It's obviously you doing something sneaky! Unlock my phone, I want to see your chat history!"
The two of us scuffled together, both trying to snatch the phone. Xiaobao was scared and cried by us, pulling the corner of Li Mei's clothes and saying, "Mom, don't quarrel", and at the same time, she came to me and said, "Dad, don't be angry".
"Li Mei, do you have anything else to explain?" I asked coldly.
Li Mei sobbed, "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, don't be so angry, Xiaobao looks at it." ”
"I'm so angry that I can't speak now!" I said loudly, "You have been married to me for so many years, I am good enough to you, how can you bear to steal people behind my back!"
"Not really!" Li Mei cried, "I really love you, it's just that there have been some problems in our relationship recently, and I am confused for a while, so I will approach Wang Jun." But I've never really done anything deviant!"
I was silent for a long time before I said coldly, "I need to be alone now." We'll come back to that. With that, I turned and went upstairs into the study, slamming the door shut.
Alone in the study, my mind was a mess. I felt like I had been hit by a car, and I was in a trance. Looking back on the bits and pieces of the past few years, I thought that our marriage was very happy, and Li Mei has always been a good wife and mother. I couldn't figure out how she could have had an affair.
I was silent and did not answer. After a while, Li Mei seemed to leave.
I shook off her hand and didn't speak.
"Brother Li, please don't do this!" Li Mei knelt on the ground and hugged my thigh, "I know it's wrong, can I give me a chance to make amends?"
I looked at Li Mei who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and my heart was mixed. I said coldly, "I can't forgive you just now." It takes time to come to terms with all this. ”
"Where are you going, at least tell me your contact information. Li Mei grabbed me and didn't let go.
"I'm going to find some old friends to stay for a few days to calm down. I said, "I'll get in touch later." ”
Li Mei couldn't cry, but she couldn't keep me. I relentlessly left the house.
I drove to the house of my old classmate Xiao Wang and told him about the matter. Xiao Wang was also surprised when he heard this, and he advised me to deal with it calmly and not to do anything that hurt myself and my family. I know he has good intentions, but I can't calm down right now.
I stayed at Xiao Wang's house for two days and asked for leave from the company. I couldn't sleep all night for the past two days, and my mind was full of Li Mei's affairs. Sometimes I'm angry, and sometimes I feel like I have a responsibility to save the family.
"Brother Li!" Just when I was drunk, Xiao Wang's voice sounded in my ears, "What are you doing when you're drunk like this?"
I barely looked up and saw the anxious little Wang. "Leave me alone. I said vaguely.
"Drinking like this won't solve the problem. Xiao Wang snatched my wine glass, "I'll send you home, you need to face this problem, not run away." ”
I leaned on Xiao Wang's shoulder and let him half-drag and half-help me into the car. When we got home, Li Mei was already waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing me drunk like this, she felt distressed and blamed herself.
"I'm sorry!" Li Mei helped me sit on the sofa with tears in her eyes, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have broken your heart." You're so drunk that my heart breaks. ”
I barely stood up, looking at Li Mei's tears, my heart still softened. "Then Wang Jun still contacts you now?" I asked in a muffled voice.
Li Mei hurriedly shook her head, "No, I've already deleted all his contact information." In the future, I will only have you and Xiaobao in my eyes!"
I sighed and rubbed my temples, "Give me some time to accept this." But the child is still young, and I don't want to destroy the family. ”
Li Mei held my hand excitedly, "Brother Li, give me a chance to start over." I will regain your trust and love. ”
I looked her in the eye and nodded, "I can give you this chance, but it will take time." Don't think about asking me to be the same as before these days, my wounds haven't healed completely. ”
"Hmm. I was silent for a while, but I couldn't help but ask, "I just want to know, why did you look for Wang Jun? Is it because I failed to give you happiness?"
Li Mei's tears flowed again, "No, you have been good all along." It's just that you are too busy with work during this time, and there is a lack of communication between us, and I feel lonely for a while, so I will become dependent on Wang Jun's comfort. It's totally my fault, not your problem. ”
I sighed, "Yes, I'm really busy during this time, and I haven't been able to spend much time with you." But you should tell me directly, not rely on other men. ”
"I know. Li Mei clasped my hand, "As long as you give me time in the future, I will definitely win back your trust and will not let you down again." I will give you all my love. ”
I looked at her serious eyes, and the pain in my heart seemed to be lightened.
Time passed slowly, and Li Mei has been making up for me with actions. She became more virtuous and took good care of me and Xiaobao. She didn't talk about it anymore, but always expressed her love and remorse for me.
One day, Xiaobao suddenly asked me, "Dad, don't you quarrel with your mother?"
I picked him up and kissed him on the cheek: "Don't quarrel, Mom and Dad love you." ”
"That's good. Xiaobao said happily.
I began to feel that the warmth in our family was slowly returning. Li Mei has become a partner I can trust again.
One night, our family of three watched TV together after dinner. Li Mei leaned on my shoulder, and I gently took her in my arms.
"Brother Li, I love you. Li Mei whispered.
After that day, I could clearly feel that the relationship between me and Li Mei was being repaired day by day. We started to cook together, learn Xi with Xiaobao every night, chat and walk as before. Li Mei would ask me carefully about my work, and I began to take the initiative to care about her life.
"Brother Li, is the company doing lately?" Li Mei asked me with concern one day at dinner.
"Not bad, ready to sign a new client this week. I said.
"Then you must pay attention to your body, don't work too hard. Li Mei said.
"Got it, you and Xiaobao should also pay attention to safety. I said.
"Hmm!" Li Mei smiled and nodded.
We're back to having regular family days every week. On this day, we took Xiaobao to the playground to play.
"Daddy, I want to play merry-go-round!" Little Paul took my hand and said.
"Okay, let's go together. I picked him up and walked to the merry-go-round.
Li Mei smiled and watched our father and son having fun.
That night, our family watched TV and chatted.
"Brother Li, I think the time we have together as a family of three is the happiest. Li Mei said.
"That's what I thought, too. I shook her hand, "Let's protect this home together." ”
"Definitely. Li Mei's eyes glistened with tears.
One night, Li Mei said to me, "Brother Li, thank you for giving me a chance to start over these days." I will always cherish you and this home. ”
I looked at her and said sincerely, "I also want to thank you for all this time." Let me feel your love all over again. I believe that our future will be even brighter. ”
"Hmm!" With tears in her eyes, Li Mei exchanged a long-lost hug.
Since then, Li Mei and I have taken this turmoil as a life lesson for us to grow and cherish the present. Whenever we are together as a family of three, I feel happy and satisfied.
After re-establishing trust and love with Li Mei, I also gradually realized that maintaining a family requires both parties to work together. I can't alienate my family just because I'm busy with work, which is one of the reasons for Li Mei's loneliness.
So I started adjusting my job so that I didn't work overtime as much as possible so I could go home on time for dinner with my family. Li Mei also took the initiative to reduce social socialization and leave more time for me and Xiaobao.
One day after dinner, Li Mei said to me: "Brother Li, I found that you don't work overtime lately, has your work become easier?"
"No, I just realized that family is also important and didn't want to repeat the mistakes I made before. I said.
Li Mei nodded, "I'm glad you have this idea." I'll try to cherish my family time as well. ”
"By the way," I thought to myself, "it's been a long time since we've been out on vacation together, so I'll take you and Xiaobao to the beach this weekend." ”
"Okay!" Li Mei happily agreed.
On the weekend, our family drove to the beachfront resort. After checking in, Li Mei and I took Xiaobao to the beach.
"Mom and Dad, I want to play sandcastle!" Xiaobao said happily.
"Okay, let's build the prettiest sandcastles together!" Li Mei said with a smile.
Our family of three had a great time on the beach. In the evening I ordered takeout and we sat together on the beach to eat and watch the sunset.
"Brother Li, thank you for bringing us here, I feel like we are as sweet as a newlywed trip. Li Mei said.
"Me too. I shook her hand, "This is how life should be in our family." ”
This trip brought our family closer again. I am acutely aware that to maintain a family, both parties need to be watered with love and understanding.
I usually take Li Mei out on dates regularly to regain my original romantic feelings. Li Mei no longer mentions past mistakes, but uses actions to make up for them.
One night, we sat on a riverside bench and watched the moon.
"Brother Li, I feel very happy to have you by my side. Li Mei said.
"Me too. I shook her hand, "Through the ups and downs, our relationship has become stronger." ”
"Hmm!" Li Mei's eyes flashed with tears, "I will always love you and always guard our home." ”
