My name is Cheng Jiayi, and I am an ordinary white-collar woman. I have a gentle and considerate husband, a lovely daughter, and a happy life, but behind it there are many secrets that no one knows.
I've heard that men have extramarital affairs mostly to satisfy their physical needs, but what about women? What are they for? Perhaps, I will find the answer in this story.
The story takes place on an ordinary afternoon, and my two best friends, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyan, meet in a café to talk about our recent lives. We sat on the comfy couch, sipping coffee and talking and laughing.
"Yiyi, how are you doing?" asked Xiao Yan curiously.
"It's okay, it's just busy, nothing special happens. I replied casually.
"Yiyi, I heard that your husband has been working a lot of overtime recently, do you feel that something is wrong with him?" Xiaoyu asked with concern.
I was nervous, but I still tried to pretend to be calm, "No, maybe I've been busy lately." ”
Xiao Yan seemed to be a little unconvinced, but did not continue to ask, but changed the topic, "Recently, the newlyweds Mr. Li and Xiaoyan went out to travel again, I am really envious." ”
I listened silently to their conversation, but there was an indescribable feeling in my heart. I knew I couldn't tell them the truth, I couldn't let them know about my husband's infidelity. However, the contradictions and pain in my heart became more and more unbearable.
When I got home, I was alone in bed with a lot of thoughts. I think of the days when my husband and I met each other, and I think of the sweetness and happiness we used to have. But now, it all seems to be a thing of the past, and the reality I face is brutal and unforgiving.
Just as I was in a deep state of remorse and anguish, the phone rang suddenly.
"Hey, it's me. When my husband's voice came, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart.
"Yiyi, I'...... I have some things to take care of, or you can go to bed first, I'll be home later. The husband's voice was hesitant.
"Okay, stay safe. I barely managed to squeeze out a few words and hung up.
I know, he's lying to me again. I knew he was going to see the woman again. My heart was full of anger and helplessness, but there was nothing I could do. Perhaps, he is doing it to meet his physical needs, or perhaps, he is tired of the trivialities of the family. But no matter what, I can't forgive him for betraying me.
The next day, I met Xiaoyu and Xiaoyan again, and I suddenly decided to confide everything to them.
"You know what? My husband has been working a lot of overtime lately, but he's actually out there meeting with another woman. I said without hesitation.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyan were stunned, at a loss.
"Yiyi, are you serious? How is this possible?" asked Xiao Yan in shock.
"I'm serious, I'm sad, but that's what it is. I replied calmly.
"Then what are you going to do? Do you want a divorce?" Xiaoyu asked with concern.
I was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I don't know, but I can't stand such betrayal and deception any longer." ”
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyan listened silently and did not speak. I know that they are also worried and sad for me, but they also know that this is my own choice, and they can only support me silently.
A few days later, I filed for divorce from my husband. He didn't object, he didn't hold back, he just silently accepted my decision. Perhaps, this is the end, and our marriage has come to an end.
Now, I'm starting my life all over again. Although my heart is still full of pain and helplessness, I will try to move forward and find my own happiness. I believe that as long as I keep going, everything will be fine.
As the months passed, I gradually came out of my pain and loss. I got a job again, I got to know myself again, and I learned to live independently. Although the divorce has caused me great pain, it has also made me stronger and more mature.
During this time, I re-examined my life and values. I learned that marriage is not just a matter for two people, but also a responsibility and commitment. I can't give up my happiness because of someone else's betrayal, and I can't give up faith in the future because of the pain of the past.
At the same time, I also revisited extramarital affairs between men and women. I understand that men may have extramarital affairs to satisfy their physical needs, but what about women? women may be looking for emotional fulfillment, or because they are dissatisfied and depressed about their marriage. Betrayal is an unforgivable act for both men and women and can bring harm to their families and themselves.
I decided that I would no longer be distressed by the pain of the past and that I would no longer be angry at the betrayal of others. I want to cherish the people in front of me, try to find my own happiness, and make myself stronger and more independent. I believe that as long as I keep going, everything will be fine.
Now, I am walking on the road of life alone, although there are still many difficulties and challenges, I will continue to walk and meet every day in the future. I believe that as long as I have hope in my heart and move forward bravely, I will definitely find my own happiness and joy.
