My name is Xiao Wang, I am 56 years old, and I am a security guard at a shopping mall. My wife Xiao Li and I have been married for more than 20 years, and she works as a clerk in a foreign company. Over the years, I have worked hard to support my family and saved up a little savings. Xiao Li has a lively personality, likes to make friends, and often hangs out with colleagues.
I arrived at the mall at 9 o'clock that day and was busy until 10 o'clock in the evening. I called Xiao Li several times, but she didn't answer. I had to go home alone, and I ate a few bites of the leftovers after the heat. At about 11 o'clock, Xiao Li came back staggeringly, full of alcohol, and it seemed that he had drunk too much.
I got a little angry and said, "It doesn't matter if you drink so much, does it? You don't answer my phone call, do you know I'm worried about you?"
Xiao Li said impatiently: "I know, I know, what are you talking about, I'm not a child." ”
I saw that she was drunk like this, and I couldn't bear to say anything, so I could only pour her a cup of hot water to drink, and then help her to wash and sleep.
At noon mealtime, Xiao Li suddenly called, and his tone was very bad: "I have a headache to death, won't you make a lighter breakfast?" and let me get up early to eat, it's just abusing me!"
I hurriedly comforted her softly: "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, don't force yourself if you have a headache, sleep well, and I'll make some porridge for you at night." ”
Xiao Li said impatiently: "Okay, I know, I have a terrible headache now, don't talk to me, hang up!" Then he just hung up the phone.
After work, I went to the vegetable market to buy some fish and vegetables, and I bought them
I bought some fish and vegetables, and also bought some red dates and angelica, and prepared to make some fish soup for Xiao Li in the evening. I met Lao Wang at the vegetable market, and he talked to me about his son's recent marriage, and said that he was going to hold a banquet next month to invite relatives and friends. I listened a little distracted, thinking that when I got married to Xiao Li, it was also a lively scene.
Back home, Xiao Li was still sleeping. As I prepared the ingredients for the fish soup, I couldn't help but wonder how our relationship had come to be like this. At eight o'clock in the evening, Xiao Li got up and looked much better. I quickly brought her a hot fish soup: "How are you feeling? ”
Xiao Li took a sip of the soup, frowned and said, "This soup is too light, it's like boiled water." ”
I explained, "You drank too much last night, and I was afraid that too strong food would irritate your stomach, so I made it lighter. ”
Xiao Li said dissatisfiedly: "I'm much better, I don't need you to take care of me, and I'm not a patient." Can't you cook a normal meal?"
I was a little disappointed, but I still tried to be as gentle as I could, "Then let's do something else tonight, what do you want to eat?"
Xiao Li said: "I'm tired of eating, and what I eat every day doesn't change." When have we ever eaten something delicious, watched a movie, or gone on a little trip? ”
I was hurt to hear this, and defended, "I've been working so hard that I want you to have a good life." I've also saved some money over the years, thinking that we can travel or something when we're old. I can change it, in the future we go to the movies, go to travel, as long as you are happy. ”
Xiao Li sneered: "What's the use of saying this now? Do you think I'm going to believe you?"
I was anxious and walked over to hold her hand: "Give me a chance, okay? Let's start over, I'll change." ”
Xiao Li shook off my hand: "It's useless, you're thinking too late." I don't have any feelings for you anymore, I'm in love with someone who is passionate and charismatic. ”
I was shocked: "You, you, you
Xiao Li said calmly: "It's my colleague Xiao Zhao, you don't know." The relationship has been going on for a year. At first, we were just ordinary friends, but later we found out that we were very close to each other, and we turned from friends to lovers. With him, I found the passion and joy that I had not seen for a long time. ”
Xiao Li said disappreciably: "I didn't betray you, you betrayed me first." For so many years, you have treated me as an accessory to the family and never cared about my feelings and needs. My passion, my youth have been consumed by you, and I have the right to find my own happiness. ”
I said excitedly, "I gave you food, clothes, and housing, and this is to treat you as an accessory? I work so that we can have a better life! Do you know how selfish and shameful your actions are!"
Xiao Li said coldly: "I don't need you to teach me what is right and wrong. Our relationship is over, and you should accept that fact. I'll move out and live with Xiao Zhao, and you can do it yourself. ”
With that, she turned around and was about to go upstairs to pack her luggage. I rushed forward in a hurry, and grabbed her hand: "You stop me! I will never allow you to be with other men, if you dare to go, I will go to that Xiao Zhao to settle accounts!"
Xiao Li shook off my hand, his eyes were full of disdain: "Save your strength, you are already old, and you can't beat others." My heart has already decided, no matter how much you threaten, it's useless. ”
I looked at her indifferent and resolute appearance, and suddenly I felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Twenty years of married life fell apart overnight, and I felt like I was living
Suddenly he felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Twenty years of married life fell apart overnight, and I felt like I was living in a trance and couldn't believe it all.
Xiao Li saw me sitting on the ground and said coldly: "What are you pretending to be pitiful, don't play these tricks to keep me, you can't shake my determination." ”
I raised my head and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Li, I know that I have not been able to give you happiness and understand your needs over the years. But for twenty years, I've really done my best to be nice to you. I really can't accept that you abandoned me like this and was with another man. ”
Xiao Li said impatiently: "Okay, don't say it, I'm tired of hearing it." My life is still long, and I can't be dragged down by you to live a boring life for a lifetime. Instead of looking at your disappointed face every day, I would rather pursue excitement and happiness with Xiao Zhao. ”
I burst into tears and said, "Xiao Li, I beg you to give me another chance, give our marriage a chance to start over." I will change myself and become a better husband. We travel, go to the movies, do everything you want. Please don't leave me, it's so cruel to me. ”
With that, she turned and went upstairs and began to pack her luggage. I knelt downstairs and tears welled up in my eyes: "Xiao Li, I know that I am wrong, please give me a chance to make amends, let's start again!"
Xiao Li said without replying: "Don't bother me, I've heard enough of your pleas." My life will not be ruined by you again. I'll leave when I'm done, don't bother me tonight. ”
I sat on my knees downstairs, tears soaking my clothes. Twenty years of married life fell apart overnight, and I felt hopeless and miserable like never before. The thought of her leaving me like this and throwing herself into the arms of another man made my heart feel like a thousand cuts.
It was a long night for me. I sat downstairs and listened to the sound of packing upstairs, tears streaming uncontrollably. I think of the bits and pieces of when we first got married, and I think of the sweet times we used to have. Everything has changed, and I feel hopeless and miserable like never before.
At dawn, Xiao Li went downstairs with two large boxes and walked away without looking back. I chased to the door, choked
At dawn, Xiao Li went downstairs with two large boxes and walked away without looking back. I chased to the door, choked up and said, "Xiao Li, is our relationship worth saying goodbye for so many years?
I burst into tears and said, "Xiao Li, we can start over and give each other a chance to mend their ways, can you really bear to leave like this?"
Xiao Li finally turned around, his eyes full of anger: "My feelings are dead, like a withered flower, no matter how much I water it, it is impossible to resurrect." Stop making a fool of yourself, and leave it at that. ”
I pleaded, "I know I'm doing something wrong, can I give me a chance to make amends?"
Xiao Li sneered: "You are talking crazy! Our love has long disappeared and can never be found again." My heart already belongs to another person, and you have to accept that fact. ”
I still wanted to say something, Xiao Li raised his hand and said fiercely: "Shut up! Everything between us is over, don't bother me again." From today onwards, you and I are strangers. ”
After saying that, she left without looking back. I sat down on the ground, tears welling up in my eyes. Twenty years of married life fell apart overnight. I felt hopeless and miserable like never before.
The days that followed were hellish for me. I sat at home all day and all night, and my mind was full of scenes of Xiao Li leaving. I've called her countless times, but to no avail. I went to her company to look for her and was stopped by the security guard. I went to Xiao Zhao and was warned by him not to harass Xiao Li.
My colleague Lao Liu persuaded me: "Brother, you have to accept the reality, Xiao Li's heart has left you, no matter how hard you beg, it's useless." Take care of yourself, work hard, time will dilute everything. ”
I said in frustration, "I gave her love for twenty years, and she abandoned me like this, how can I accept this fact? I have to meet her and make it clear to her!"
Lao Liu patted me on the shoulder: "
Lao Liu patted me on the shoulder: "Brother, I understand your pain, but you have to cheer up." If her heart is dead, it will be in vain for you to plead. You still have your own life to live, don't suffer from this anymore. ”
I said in frustration, "I can't believe it all. How did we get to where we were when we loved each other so much? I really have to see her, and I want to ask what went wrong. ”
Lao Liu persuaded: "Your problems can't appear overnight, this has accumulated for many years. There's no point in asking now, it will only make you more miserable. You should reflect on yourself and how you can get out of the shadows and start over. ”
I was silent, trapped in deep self-reproach and remorse. I began to reflect on whether I had been too indifferent to Xiao Li over the years, whether I had neglected her inner needs. I remembered that she often said that I only cared about work and didn't accompany her, and I remembered her complaining that our life was monotonous. I understood how she felt, but I couldn't help myself and had to work hard for the sake of my family.
If I could care more about her, take her on trips, watch movies and chat with her, maybe she wouldn't have the idea of cheating. I was so self-righteous that I thought it was enough to do my duty, but I ignored her feelings. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for her.
Even though what she did was painful for me, I can't blame her entirely. As her husband, I should have given her happiness and love, not made her feel cold and hopeless. I decided to let go of my resentment towards her and instead reflect on my responsibilities.
Maybe our marriage is destined to come to an end, but I will learn from it and correct my mistakes. I will no longer ignore my significant other's feelings because of my work. I will make a difference in my life and become a better person. I believe that time will eventually heal the pain in my heart, and I will slowly come out of the shadows and start again.
