I stood in front of the familiar door, the key in my hand, but I didn't have the courage to turn it. At the age of 43, I am full of mixed emotions. Behind this door is the home where she has been separated from her husband for 12 years. Today, I decided to let go of the obsession in my heart and end this marriage.
"You're back?" said the husband's voice from the kitchen, who was preparing dinner.
"Hmm. I replied softly, my voice shaking.
"What's wrong? You don't look right today. He stopped his movements and looked at me with concern.
I took a deep breath and plucked up my courage: "Let's get a divorce." ”
My husband was stunned, the kitchen knife in his hand hung in the air, and the air seemed to be frozen.
"Why?" his voice trembled, his eyes full of confusion and reluctance.
"It's been 12 years since we were separated like this. I tried to calm my voice, "Between us, there is no love. ”
The husband was silent, he lowered his head, and the kitchen knife in his hand was slowly put down.
"I know I've ignored your feelings all these years. His voice choked slightly, "I thought we could keep going if we were given enough space." ”
I shook my head: "No, space doesn't fill the void in the heart. What we need is real communication and understanding. ”
The husband raised his head, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "I am willing to change, we can start again." ”
I smiled wryly: "It's too late, we've all changed." ”
He didn't speak again, just looked at me quietly, his eyes full of reluctance and helplessness.
I turned and walked to the bedroom and packed my bags. My husband silently followed me and didn't say anything more.
"It's my fault, I didn't give you happiness. His voice came again, with a hint of remorse.
I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at him: "It's not anyone's fault, we just don't fit." ”
He nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes: "Take care." ”
I walked out of the house with some relief and some sadness. The 12-year marriage came to an end. But I know that this is a new beginning, and I will let go of the obsession in my heart and bravely move towards the future.
Li Fang sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the wedding photo on the wall, in which she and Wang Qiang smiled sweetly, but that was 20 years ago. She sighed, the struggle in her heart like a mess that was difficult to unravel.
"Fang, what are you doing in a daze?" Wang Qiang's voice broke the silence, and he walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea in his hand.
"It's nothing, I just think we..." Before Li Fang's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Wang Qiang.
"Here you go again, you're always like this, and you're entangled in a little thing for a long time. Wang Qiang said impatiently.
Li Fang took a deep breath, she knew that such a conversation had been repeated countless times, and each time it ended in nothing. She stood up and decided that she wanted to put an end to this pointless bickering.
"Wang Qiang, let's talk. Li Fang's voice was calm and firm.
"What are we talking about? Haven't we been talking all the time?" Wang Qiang frowned, obviously not interested.
"No, this time it's serious. Li Fang looked him in the eyes, "Our marriage has died in name, we have been separated for 12 years, and I have had enough of this life." ”
Wang Qiang was stunned, he didn't expect Li Fang to be so direct. He was silent for a moment, then said, "You really thought about it?"
"Yes, I figured it out. Li Fang's tone did not have a trace of hesitation.
Wang Qiang sighed, he knew that Li Fang had already made up his mind, and no amount of quarreling would help. "Well, since you've decided, then we're... Let's get a divorce. ”
Li Fang felt a sense of relief, although she felt a little sad in her heart, but she knew that it was the right decision. She packed her things and prepared to leave the once loving and warm home.
"Fang, where are you going?" Wang Qiang looked at her busy figure, a little reluctant.
"I'm going to start my new life. Li Fang turned around and smiled, "Thank you, Wang Qiang, over the years, we have had happiness and pain, but it has all passed." Now, I'm going to find my own happiness. ”
Wang Qiang nodded, he blessed Li Fang, although their marriage failed, he still hoped that she could find true happiness.
Li Fang walked out of the house, the sun shining on her face, and she felt more free than ever. She dialed her friend Xiaoling's phone.
"Xiaoling, I'm divorced. Li Fang's voice trembled slightly.
"Really, Fang, I've got your back!" Xiao Ling's voice was full of joy.
"Thank you, Xiaoling. Li Fang's tears flowed involuntarily, but she knew that this was a new beginning, and she would bravely face the unknown future.
Li Fang sat in the corner of the café, the coffee in her hand had cooled, but her thoughts were churning like boiling water. The friend's words were a wake-up call that forced her to face the questions she had been avoiding. She took a deep breath and dialed Wang Qiang's phone.
"Hey, Wang Qiang, can we talk?" Li Fang's voice trembled slightly.
"What are we talking about? What else is there to talk about between us?" Wang Qiang's voice was cold, as if he had already expected this moment.
"I feel like we need to communicate with each other and we can't just go on like this. Li Fang struggled to make her voice sound firm.
"Communication, why didn't you think like that before? Don't you think it's too late to talk about communication now?" Wang Qiang's tone was mocking.
Li Fang clenched her fists, she knew she couldn't be provoked, she needed to calm down, "I know I had a lot of things wrong in the past, but we need to solve the problem now, don't we?"
"Solve the problem?Li Fang, you are too naïve. The problem is not solved in a day or two. Wang Qiang's tone revealed deep helplessness.
Li Fang's heart swelled with a sense of powerlessness, but she didn't give up, "Then we can at least try to solve it, can't we?
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Li Fang could feel Wang Qiang's hesitation. After a long while, Wang Qiang spoke, "Okay, let's meet." ”
The two agreed to meet at the park where they first dated. Li Fang arrived early, sat on the bench, and recalled the sweetness of the beginning. Wang Qiang's figure appeared in sight, his face full of exhaustion.
"You're here. Li Fang stood up and said with a smile.
"Hmm. Wang Qiang just responded lightly.
The two walked along the path of the park, and Li Fang tried to find a topic, but Wang Qiang always ignored it. Li Fang's patience was gradually worn out, she stopped and looked directly at Wang Qiang, "Are you really unwilling to give our marriage another chance?"
Wang Qiang was silent, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Li Fang, "I don't know, Li Fang, there are too many problems between us." ”
"Then can't we work together?" Li Fang's voice carried a hint of pleading.
Wang Qiang shook his head, "We have been working hard for too long, we are too tired." Perhaps, we really don't fit. ”
Li Fang's heart sank suddenly, she knew that Wang Qiang was telling the truth. She took a deep breath and plucked up her courage, "Well, if it's your decision, I respect you." We... Let's get a divorce. ”
Wang Qiang was stunned, he didn't expect Li Fang to be so direct. He looked at Li Fang, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, "You... Decided?"
Li Fang nodded, tears rolling in her eyes, "Yes, I decided." We should all start a new life. ”
The two stood there quietly, each other's hearts already understanding that this marriage had come to an end. They looked at each other and smiled, although bitter, but also a relief from the past.
"Then we... That's it. Wang Qiang stretched out his hand, Li Fang held it tightly, and the hands of the two gradually let go, turning around and walking towards their respective futures.
Li Fang sat in a corner of the café, the rain outside the window was like weaving, she gently stirred the latte in the cup, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination. Xiao Ling, a friend opposite her, frowned, as if she was worried about something.
"Fang, have you really thought about it?" asked Xiao Ling nervously.
"Well, I thought about it for a long time, and this is the only way out for me. Li Fang's voice was calm, but there was a sense of determination.
Xiao Ling sighed and shook Li Fang's hand, "We all support you, but you have to know that it's not easy." ”
"I know," Li Fang smiled slightly, "but I believe that as long as I take this step bravely, everything will be fine." ”
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a ringing phone, Li Fang took out his mobile phone, and the word "Wang Qiang" was displayed on the screen. She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Wang Qiang. Li Fang's voice trembled a little.
"Li Fang, are we really going to get this far?" Wang Qiang's voice carried a hint of exhaustion.
"Yes, I think it was a good decision for all of us. Li Fang replied firmly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Wang Qiang slowly spoke, "Okay, I respect your choice." ”
After hanging up the phone, a hint of relief flashed in Li Fang's eyes, she knew that this phone call meant the end of an era, but it also represented the beginning of a new life.
A few weeks later, Li Fang and Wang Qiang's divorce procedures went exceptionally smoothly. The two calmly signed the divorce agreement in the presence of their lawyers. Wang Qiang looked at Li Fang, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, "What are your plans in the future?"
"I want to travel and see the world before I decide. Li Fang replied with a smile.
Wang Qiang nodded, and the two shook hands and said goodbye, although they were reluctant in their hearts, they both understood that this was the best choice.
After the divorce, Li Fang started her new life. She packed her bags and set out on a journey to a distant land. During her travels, she met all kinds of people and heard all kinds of stories, all of which filled her soul like never before.
"Fang, you look getting happier. Xiao Ling said with a smile on the phone.
"Yes, I found that the world is really big, I still have a lot to do, a lot of people to see. Li Fang's voice was full of anticipation.
Xiaoling encouraged, "Then go and pursue your happiness." ”
Li Fang smiled and hung up the phone, she knew that her happiness was on the way.
Li Fang stood on the balcony of her new home, looking at the brilliant lights in the distance, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that from today onwards, she would embark on a new journey. She took a deep breath and turned back into the house, ready to start the day.
"Hey, Li Fang, you seem to be in a good mood!" As soon as colleague Xiao Zhang entered the office, he noticed the change in Li Fang.
Li Fang responded with a smile: "Yes, I feel that the whole person is full of vitality." ”
"Then you'll have to treat you, we've been worried about you. Xiao Zhang said half-jokingly.
Li Fang nodded: "No problem, I will invite you to dinner on the weekend to celebrate my new birth." ”
Xiao Zhang clapped his hands happily: "Great, we have to celebrate." ”
Li Fang's new life began in this way, and she performed well at work and was recognized by her leaders and colleagues. She also started experimenting with various social activities and made many new friends.
One day, Li Fang met a man named Li Ming at a friend's party. He was gentle and elegant, and his conversation was extraordinary, which left a deep impression on Li Fang.
"Hello, my name is Li Ming, it's a pleasure to meet you. Li Ming smiled and stretched out his hand.
Li Fang also responded with a smile: "Hello, my name is Li Fang, and I am also very happy to meet you." ”
The two chatted very speculatively, with Li Ming appreciating Li Fang's independence and strength, while Li Fang was attracted by Li Ming's talent and insight.
After the party, Li Ming offered to send Li Fang home. In the car, the two continued to chat, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Li Fang, you are really special, I admire you. Li Ming said sincerely.
Li Fang's face flushed: "Thank you, Li Ming, I also think you are very good." ”
Li Ming smiled: "Then we can contact more in the future and do something together." ”
Li Fang nodded: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”
In this way, Li Fang and Li Ming began frequent interactions. They go to the movies together, go hiking together, and go to various activities together. In the process of getting along, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
One day, Li Ming invited Li Fang to his house for dinner. Li Fang readily agreed, and she wanted to know more about Li Ming's life.
"I made it myself and I hope you'll like it. Li Ming served a sumptuous dinner.
Li Fang tasted it and was full of praise: "It's so delicious, you really have a hand." ”
Li Ming smiled proudly: "Of course, I specially prepared it for you." ”
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm. After eating, Li Ming took Li Fang on a tour of his home.
"This is my study, and I usually like to read here. Li Ming pointed to a room full of books.
Li Fang looked around and found that the bookshelves were full of all kinds of books, and she couldn't help but admire: "You are really a knowledgeable person. ”
Li Ming smiled: "It's over, I just like to study." ”
The two chatted for a long time in the study, and Li Fang was deeply attracted by Li Ming's insight and talent. She feels that Li Ming is a very trustworthy and reliable person.
As time passed, Li Fang and Li Ming's relationship became deeper and deeper. They began to plan their future lives and looked forward to a better tomorrow.
"Li Fang, are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" Li Ming asked affectionately.
Li Fang's eyes flashed with tears: "I do, Li Ming, you are the most important person in my life." ”
The two hugged each other tightly, happy smiles on their faces.
Li Fang finally found her own happiness, she knew that all this was inseparable from her own hard work and persistence. She is grateful for the favor of fate and everyone around her for her help and support.
