I used to think that our marriage was the kind of strong fortress that would stand the test. However, when the shelling of reality hit, I realized that everything was so fragile.
I am a post-90s generation, a young man who pursues true love in this era. I met her, a girl who made my heart flutter, we fell in love, and then we entered the palace of marriage. At first, everything was so good, we lived happily together and enjoyed each other's love.
However, as time went on, the problems between us gradually came to light. The pressure of work and the trivial things of life make us drift apart. We began to quarrel, we began to be apathetic, and we even began to want to escape from this seemingly irretrievable marriage.
In the end, we chose to get divorced. Divorce rates are at record highs, and we're part of that number. Netizens have discussed a lot, accusing our generation of not knowing how to cherish marriage and giving up easily.
What they don't know, however, is that our divorce was not taken lightly. We have tried to redeem it, we have done everything we can for this marriage. However, in the end, we chose to separate because we understood that marriage requires more than just love, but also responsibility and commitment.
I don't regret our marriage because that experience made me grow and taught me more about love and marriage. Perhaps, we are not forever companions, but we have had good memories and that's enough.
