My name is Lin Ya, I am 28 years old this year, and I have been married to my husband Li Hao for three years. We met on college campuses, and along the way, through ups and downs, I always think our relationship is rock solid. However, a recent incident shook my belief.
Li Hao works as an executive in a well-known company, and his work is busy, often requiring overtime and business trips. I understand the pressure of his work and do my best to support his career. However, just recently, I accidentally discovered a jaw-dropping secret - Li Hao's identity outside has always been single.
That day, I accidentally opened Li Hao's computer and found that his profile on a social software actually displayed the word "single". My eyes widened in surprise, I couldn't believe my eyes. How is that possible? We've been married for three years, how can he be single?
An inexplicable wave of anger and loss welled up in my heart. I felt betrayed and deceived. We had promised to support and trust each other, but he hid such an important fact behind his back.
I tried to stay calm and began to think back to the bits and pieces of our past. Is there anything wrong with Li Hao's words and deeds? Does he often work overtime until late at night? Does he always avoid the topic of family? These questions swirl in my mind and make me unable to calm down.
I decided to talk to Li Hao about it. When I confronted him, he was visibly flustered. He explained that it was just for the convenience of work and that he did not deliberately deceive me. He said that he loved me, that our marriage was real, and that he didn't want this little thing to affect our relationship.
Listening to his explanation, the anger in my heart gradually subsided. I understand his work pressure and hardship, and I believe that his feelings for me are genuine. However, this secret stuck like a thorn in my heart and I couldn't let go.
I began to reflect on our married life. Do we really know each other? Are we honest and trusting enough?Is this secret just the tip of the iceberg, and there are more things I don't know?
I decided to give Li Hao a chance and let's start over. We had an open and honest exchange of ideas and feelings, and together we were looking for ways to solve problems. I told him that I wanted him to be more open with me and to be able to solve any problems together.
After a period of hard work, our relationship gradually returned to its former warmth and sweetness. Li Hao also changed his attitude and cherished our married life even more. We have re-established a foundation of trust and understanding to bring each other closer to each other.
However, this secret has always stuck in my heart like a thorn in my heart, and I can't completely let go. I began to think about the deeper meaning behind this secret. Why did Li Hao hide his marital status? Does he have any unknown motives?
I decided to dig deeper into the matter. After some hard work, I finally found the answer. It turns out that Li Hao's company has certain regulations on employee promotion, and single employees are often more likely to get promotion opportunities. In order to develop his career, Li Hao had to hide his marital status.
I understand Li Hao's distress, but I am still a little dissatisfied in my heart. Isn't career more important than our marriage? Why didn't he tell me the secret sooner so that I could share his pressure?
Li Hao and I had in-depth communication again. I expressed my dissatisfaction and concern and hoped that he would pay more attention to our married life. He also deeply reflected on his behavior, saying that he would be more honest with me in the future and face the challenges in life together.
After this incident, our feelings became stronger. We learned the importance of honesty and trust, and we learned how to face life's challenges together. Although this secret has caused us conflicts and misunderstandings, it has also made us cherish each other more and work harder to manage our married life.
Now, we have gone through this twist and turn and started our happy life again. We understand that there will inevitably be problems and challenges in married life, but as long as we support and trust each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and move towards a better future.
