In this uncertain world, the sanctity and fidelity of marriage seem to be being seen by some as obsolete. But let's face a not-so-pleasant truth: betraying a marriage, no matter what time it is, is the wrong choice. When we are young, we may be able to pick up from our mistakes and start over, but when our hair is gray and wrinkles creep up our foreheads, and we make the same mistakes, it can mean an irreparable end.
Being stupid and unsure of one's old age is not only a sadness, but also an inescapable reality. Today, what I want to tell is a story about betrayal of marriage in old age, and its ending can be described as extremely bleak.
The protagonist of the story is my father-in-law, a man who once had the majesty of an elder in my heart. His marriage to his mother-in-law seems to be solid, but who knows, after their two children start a family, he makes a decision that shocks the whole family - betraying the marriage.
This happened suddenly and absurdly, and the father-in-law seemed to be brainwashed by some unspeakable force and insisted on divorcing his mother-in-law. Although my husband and sister-in-law tried their best to persuade me, my father-in-law was already determined. Eventually, his mother-in-law accepted his request for divorce, but on the condition that he would sever all financial ties and no longer bear any pension responsibilities.
The father-in-law was anxious for a divorce and easily agreed to these conditions. He left the house with a house and part of his savings.
In the days that followed, my father-in-law's life was like a tragedy. He was deceived by a woman, the house was transferred, the deposit was cheated away, the woman did not marry him, but after maintaining a relationship for a while, she abandoned him. My father-in-law lived alone in a rented house from then on.
Although my mother-in-law, my husband and sister-in-law were angry, they vowed not to live the life of my father-in-law again. Even if my father-in-law later became depressed and became seriously ill and was hospitalized, there was no one to take care of him.
It wasn't until the last moments of his father-in-law's life that he realized his mistake and hoped to see his mother-in-law and children one last time. However, the mother-in-law refused, and the children did not show up. In this way, my father-in-law passed away alone.
I once wanted to lend a hand, but was stopped by my husband. After all, this is their family's business, and I, as an outsider, should not interfere too much.
The ending of the father-in-law is undoubtedly a kind of retribution. At the end of his life, he may have deeply reflected on his actions. However, everything is irretrievable.
People who betray their marriage are often deceiving themselves. They may make all kinds of excuses for their actions, and even beautify their feelings, but the truth is cruel - those so-called "true love" are nothing more than deception and exploitation of each other.
Men who betray their marriages may praise other women for how good they are, but that's just a deception. Women who take advantage of men's weaknesses are also cheating. And the relationship between those married people of the opposite sex is a game of mutual deception.
The story of the father-in-law is like a mirror, reflecting the sad ending of those who are not guaranteed in the late season. They may think they will be able to take advantage of it, but in the end they will only reap the consequences.
That's it for today's story, and hopefully it gives you some food for thought. Remember, cherish the present, cherish what you have, and don't wait until you lose it to know how to regret it. See you next time!
