Marriage is a castle for two people, but sometimes, the appearance of a third person can break this tranquility. When the wife poured water for another woman, the husband's reaction was shocking. What problems in marriage does a splashing incident expose, and how do we deal with the challenges in marriage?
My name is Zhang Wei, I am 30 years old, and I am a project manager for a medium-sized company. My wife Xiaofang and I have been married for three years, she is a primary school teacher, gentle and virtuous, and we used to be a model couple in the eyes of those around us. However, all this became unrecognizable after the appearance of that woman.
My marriage to Xiaofang used to be so sweet. Whenever night falls, we snuggle up on the couch, watch TV, and chat. At that time, we seemed to be the happiest people in the world. However, as time goes by, the busyness of work and the trivialities of life gradually erode our feelings. I started working overtime and started ignoring Xiaofang's feelings, and she became a little reticent because of the pressure of work.
Until the appearance of that woman. Her name is Xiaoli and she is a partner I met on a project. Xiaoli is young, beautiful and full of energy, and her appearance makes me feel the passion of my youth again. We started to keep in touch frequently, eating together, watching movies, and even traveling together. Xiao Fang saw all this, but she didn't say anything.
Until that day, Xiaoli came to our house. Xiao Fang still welcomed her warmly, and even poured her a glass of water herself. I watched Xiaofang's actions, and I felt a little uncomfortable. I tried to stop her, but I couldn't say it. Xiaoli took the glass of water and smiled softly, as if everything was under her control.
At that moment, I suddenly felt angry and humiliated. I can't stand this situation any longer. I stood up, walked over to Xiaoli, snatched the water glass from her hand, and threw it at her. Xiaoli was stunned by my sudden move, and Xiaofang was also stunned, she looked at me with shock and puzzlement in her eyes.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Fang asked me loudly.
"You should ask her what she did!" I pointed angrily at Xiaoli.
Xiaoli came back to her senses, she looked at me with a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes. She turned around and left our house, leaving Xiaofang and I staring at each other.
That night, Xiaofang and I had a long talk all night. I told her about my anger, my humiliation, I told her I couldn't take this anymore. Xiao Fang listened silently and did not speak. I know, and she's aware of the seriousness of the problem.
After that night of conversation, we decided to revisit our marriage. We started to communicate more and care more about each other. I reduced the number of overtime hours I used and started spending more time with Xiaofang. And Xiaofang also began to try to understand me and support my work.
Gradually, our feelings began to warm up. We have regained the sweetness and happiness we once had. I know it's not easy, but we're willing to work hard for each other and for our marriage.
Looking back on that experience, I am very grateful. Thankfully, I woke up in time and didn't let my marriage break up. At the same time, I feel deeply guilty. Guilty of neglecting Xiaofang, guilty of being unfaithful to her marriage. But I also know that these feelings of guilt and happiness are the price of growth.
Today, Xiaofang and I are still living happily together. We cherish each other more and cherish our marriage even more. I want to tell all those who are confused in their marriage: don't wait until your marriage is over to regret it. Cherishing the person in front of you and cherishing the love in front of you is the most important thing in marriage.
