In the long river of life, there are times when we are pushed by the ripples of fate to places we never expected. For the three men, it all started with a divorce, a torn bond, but it was also the starting point for them to understand a kind of truth: after the divorce, they realized that extramarital lovers and wives are really different. These are three very different men, who come from different backgrounds and have different life experiences, but have encountered similar turning points in their fates at the same stage. The first man, named Jack, was a successful businessman. His married life seems to be perfect, but there is a thorn in the depths. His wife, Alice, is a typical housewife who puts a lot of effort into her family, but is emotionally distant from Jack. By chance, Jack meets Claire, a woman who is very understanding and supportive of him, and their affair begins. The second man, named Peter, was an ordinary office worker. His wife, Lily, was his childhood sweetheart in college, and the two went through many years of ups and downs together. However, as the years passed, the relationship between them gradually flattened, and the trivial and stressful things in life made them drift apart. At a unit party, Peter gets acquainted with Mary, a lively and cheerful girl whose appearance makes Peter feel the energy and passion that he has not seen for a long time. The third man, named Tom, is an artist who is full of passion and pursuit for life. His wife, Jane, was a source of inspiration and a pillar of his life, and their relationship remained unwavering, through many ups and downs. However, the tricks of fate left Jane with a terminal illness, and the countdown to life cast their lives in endless shadows. When Jane's condition worsens, Tom meets Sarah, a woman who is passionate and energetic about life, and her presence gives Tom a touch of warmth and comfort. Divorce is a painful choice for every man, a farewell to the past, and a search for the future. However, in the process, each of them experiences the huge difference between an extramarital lover and a wife. For Jack, Claire gave him a sense of ease and comfort that he had never experienced before, and her presence made him feel like he had finally found a place to belong. However, as time goes on, Jack gradually discovers that Claire cannot replace his wife's place in life, and she cannot give him the warmth and stability of the family. After a period of separation, Jack finally realizes that the relationship between an extramarital lover and his wife cannot be compared, and he decides to revisit his marriage and try to repair his relationship with his wife. Peter, on the other hand, experienced a brief period of passion, and gradually understood the difference between an extramarital lover and a wife. Mary's presence gives him a sense of freshness and excitement, but as time goes on, Peter gradually discovers that his feelings for Mary are only impulsive, while his feelings for Lily are deeply rooted in his heart. After a painful struggle, Peter decided to put aside his affair and work to re-establish trust and communication with his wife. Tom's story is even more moving, he is not confused by Sarah's appearance, on the contrary, her appearance makes him cherish his relationship with his wife even more. Sarah gave Tom endless support and encouragement during Jane's illness, and her presence made him feel the warmth and beauty of life. However, Tom never forgot his responsibilities and commitments, and he knew that the presence of an extramarital lover would not change the emotional bond between him and his wife. After Jane's death, Tom chose to continue to cherish the memories with his wife and strive to pass on Jane's spirit. The stories of the three men are different, but they all teach us a profound lesson: there is a fundamental difference between an extramarital lover and a wife. My wife is a person who accompanies us through every bit of life, they are our closest partners, our confidants and supporters. Extramarital lovers are often just an episode in life, and although they can give us short-term passion and pleasure, they cannot replace the unique position of the wife in life. Divorce is not the only way to solve the problem, but an opportunity to revisit your marriage and improve your relationship. Through the stories of three men, we see their growth and understanding after the divorce, and see their gratitude and cherishment to their wives. Marriage requires constant effort and communication, and both parties need to work together to understand and support each other, rather than running away and betraying. Ultimately, we should understand that difficulties and contradictions in marriage are inevitable, but it is through joint efforts and understanding that we can truly enjoy the happiness and fulfillment that marriage brings. True love does not lie in the passion and impulsiveness on the outside, but in the firmness and depth that can still move forward hand in hand after going through ups and downs.
