My name is Li Qing, 27 years old, a working woman working hard in the city. I have a stable job, an annual salary of 700,000 yuan, and my life seems to be good, but because of a breakup, it has set off waves in my heart.
It all started with an argument between me and my boyfriend Li Yu. We met in college and have been in love for seven years. Li Yu, a tall and handsome boy with a bright smile and determined eyes, is the Prince Charming in my mind. We had a great relationship until that day, when I brought up the topic of getting married.
"Yuyu, we have been together for so long, and getting married is also an inevitable way. I whispered, playing with a ring in my hand, the symbol of marriage I had always dreamed of.
His expression was a little complicated, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Qingqing, I don't think we're ready yet." ”
"What are you ready for? We have love, we have careers, and we are all stable. "I'm a little confused.
"But I think there will be a lot of problems to face after marriage, such as housework. There was a hint of unease in his tone.
"Housework?" I was stunned for a moment, "we can share it together, I don't mind doing housework." ”
"However, I want a wife who can take care of everything at home wholeheartedly, and I don't want to worry about housework when I get married. He said firmly.
I was shocked by his words, which seemed to be a voice from another world. We are all people who grew up in modern society, is he still stuck in the old ideas?
"Woowoo, are you serious? Do you think I'm just a candidate for a housewife?" I asked, a little angrily.
"Qingqing, don't get me wrong, I just think that marriage requires a clear division of labor between the two parties, and I don't just expect a wife with a successful career, I hope a wife who can make me feel at ease and leave the home to her to take care of. He tried to explain.
I felt a chill in my heart, and my seven-year relationship was in jeopardy for such reasons. I know that the conflict between us is not just about housework, but about each other's expectations and attitudes towards the future life.
After that argument, the relationship between me and Li Yu was at an impasse. We are no longer as intimate as before, communication has become difficult, and every conversation is fraught with awkwardness and unpleasantness.
As much as I tried to convince myself that this was just a momentary misunderstanding, the uneasiness in my heart grew stronger. I began to wonder if the relationship between us was really as strong as I thought it would be.
One day a month later, I made a proposal to break up. I am not willing to continue in a relationship that is not respected, nor am I willing to give up my dignity and freedom in order to meet the expectations of others.
"Qingqing, are you really going to break up with me?" Li Yu's voice was full of disappointment and helplessness.
"yes, I don't think there's any way for us to go on anymore. I said firmly, though my heart was still full of pain and reluctance.
"However, we can still work it out between us, and we can talk about it again. "He tried to keep it.
"We've talked about it, and we think so differently. I shook my head, "I don't want to torture myself anymore for an uncertain future." ”
"Qingqing, I know I'm wrong, I didn't take into account your feelings, but I really love you. His eyes showed deep apology and helplessness.
I was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Perhaps, we need a period of calm and introspection. ”
We looked at each other and smiled, and it was our last intimate conversation. Although the breakup was painful, I knew it was the right choice I made for myself. Perhaps, time can heal everything and allow us to step out of each other's shadows and start our lives again.
The days after the breakup were extremely difficult. I try to distract myself with work and friends, but in the dead of night, loneliness and loss come flooding back. Every memory that once belonged to us is now heartbreaking.
One weekend afternoon, I decided to go for a walk in the park, hoping to relax through the beauty of nature. I strolled along the trail, enjoying the refreshing feeling of the breeze on my face, but I inadvertently heard a familiar sound.
"Qingqing, is that you?" a male voice broke my silence.
When I looked up, it turned out to be my friend Xiaoyi from college. She walked towards me in a casual sportswear with a big smile.
"Xiaoyi, long time no see. I was in a happy mood and waved at her.
"You don't look right, what's going on?" she asked, worried, worried.
I felt a warm feeling that maybe I needed someone to talk to. So I told her about breaking up with Li Yu, and after I finished talking, I felt a lot more comfortable.
"Qingqing, I can understand your feelings, but I'm sure you'll come out of this shadow. Xiaoyi encouraged.
I smiled and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you, Xiaoyi." Your support means a lot to me. ”
We continued to walk in the park, chatting about each other's recent developments and life experiences. Xiaoyi's company made me feel warmth and strength, and I knew that no matter what the future holds, I will not be alone.
As the sun set, we reluctantly said goodbye to each other, but I had more hope and courage for the future in my heart. Perhaps, the breakup is just a turning point in my life, and I will continue to move forward and find my own happiness.
After a while, I gradually adjusted my state and returned to work and life. Although there is still a slight sadness in my heart, I have learned to accept and let go.
By chance, I met an old classmate again, her name was Zhang Lin. We met by chance at a café and were very surprised by each other.
"Qingqing, long time no see!" Zhang Lin immediately showed a bright smile when she saw me.
"Zhang Lin, why are you here?" I was also very surprised, after all, we rarely kept in touch after graduating from college.
"I recently moved to the city and rented an apartment nearby. Zhang Lin explained with a smile.
We sat down, ordered coffee, and started chatting about each other's lives. Zhang Lin told me that she had recently found a satisfying job, which was hard but fulfilling. And I also told her about my experience after breaking up with Li Yu, and she felt very distressed after hearing it.
"Qingqing, I know you must have been through a lot, but I believe that you will definitely find your own happiness. Zhang Lin encouraged.
I looked at her gratefully, my heart filled with gratitude and touch. It makes me feel warm and comforted to have friends by my side, and I know that I will never be alone, no matter what the future holds.
We talked for a long time until the café was about to close. When parting, Zhang Lin took my hand and said gently: "Qingqing, remember that no matter when, I will be by your side." ”
I smiled and nodded, a warmth welling up in my heart. Perhaps, every setback and loss in life will be accompanied by someone to accompany me, which makes me feel extremely happy and at ease.
After seeing off Zhang Lin, I walked home alone, full of hope and courage for the future. Perhaps, happiness is not far away, and I will try to find it until I find my own part.
Life finally returned to peace, and I regained my confidence and courage for the future. However, fate brought me an unexpected change when I least expected it.
One sunny weekend, I was tidying up my room at home when I suddenly received a strange phone call. I answered the phone with some curiosity, only to hear a familiar voice.
"Qingqing, it's me, Yuyu. Li Yu's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
I froze, my heart swelling with all sorts of emotions, and I didn't know how to respond.
"Woowoo, what's the matter?" I tried to keep my composure, trying to hide my panic.
"Qingqing, I know I was wrong, I didn't cherish you well, but I really regret it. Li Yu's voice revealed a trace of remorse and unease.
I was silent for a moment, and a myriad of thoughts welled up in my mind. Seven years of relationship, after too many twists and turns, can I still give him a chance?
"Woowoo, it's over between us. I tried to respond in a firm tone, "I've found my way of life and happiness and don't need to look back." ”
"But Qingqing, I really love you. There was a hint of pleading and helplessness in Li Yu's voice.
I took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm sorry, Universe. We have come to the track of our own lives, and perhaps, this is the best ending. ”
There was silence on the other end of the line, and I knew that this might be the last conversation between us. Even though my heart was still full of mixed emotions, I knew that I had to look forward and never look back.
When I hung up, I felt a sense of relief. Perhaps, the story between us is over, but life still goes on, and I will continue to move forward and pursue my own happiness and joy.
