My name is Wang Fei, I am 38 years old this year, I have a successful career, a happy family, and my wife's name is Chen Mei, and I am a virtuous and capable wife. But it was such a seemingly perfect life that made me wonder if my marriage would last long.
"Lao Wang, how is your work lately?" One day after work, my old colleague Xiao Zhang asked me to drink.
"Everything is going well, but I always feel that there are shortcomings recently. I said helplessly.
"What's missing? Xiao Zhang was joking, but I was a little touched in my heart.
Just when I was a little confused about married life, I met "her" by chance.
It was a sunny day, I was wandering around the mall and a beautiful girl bumped into me.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" She asked me a little crampedly.
"It's okay, I'm fine. "I looked at her and couldn't help but be fascinated by her beauty.
She also seemed to be fascinated by me, and we looked at each other like that, and the atmosphere began to become ambiguous. Just then, her phone rang, pulling us all back to reality.
"Hey, dear, I'll be there soon. She answered the phone and said in an affectionate tone.
It turned out that she already had a master, and I was a little disappointed, but more curious. How could such a beautiful girl be a junior? I decided to find out more.
"You seem to have something, do you want to sit down and talk?" I plucked up the courage to invite her.
"Actually, I'm not a junior in the traditional sense. She took a sip of coffee and said, "I just want to seek a new type of relationship model, not bound by the shackles of marriage, and free to love and be loved." "
Her words made my heart flutter. All along, my understanding of marriage has been too conservative and traditional. And what she brought to me was a new way of thinking, which made me suddenly realize that maybe the mode of love could be more diverse and inclusive.
When she spoke, her eyes were firm and persistent, and she seemed to have a firm belief in her own outlook on life. Occasionally, she would stroke her hair with her hands, revealing her fair shoulders, and her movements were full of charming and moving style. I couldn't help but be captivated by her charm like never before.
"But isn't it a bit unreasonable to do this?" I asked her confused.
"Why do you say that? I didn't hurt anyone. On the contrary, I have allowed myself and others to be free and happy. She asked me rhetorically.
"And what about your significant other?
"He fully understood and supported my idea, and that's how we loved each other. "
I began to reflect on whether my understanding of love was too narrow. Should there be more possibilities and more inclusiveness in life? Is it enough to love each other and be honest? These new ideas stirred through my mind, and I almost fell into a mental confusion that I had never experienced before.
I frowned, as if in a fierce battle of thoughts. And she always maintained a calm demeanor, looking at me with her beautiful eyes, expecting my answer.
"Maybe you have a point. There is no set pattern for love, the key is honesty and respect. Eventually, I breathed a sigh of relief and accepted her point of view.
"I'm glad you think so. She said happily, holding out her slender hand and placing it on the back of my hand.
Touching her warm and delicate palm, my heart suddenly swelled with an unprecedented throbbing. It was as if all of a sudden, she was so close to me, and there was a new sense of intimacy between us. I know that from now on, we will not be just strangers.
I looked at her delicate face, and she had a shy smile on her face. I gently covered her hand with my other hand, and she didn't dodge, but looked back at me with a gentle gaze. In this way, we held hands together, and in this quiet café, it was as if we had entered a whole new world.
"Honey, why are you here?" Just as she and I were in the middle of the boundless spring, a familiar voice came, breaking the silence of all this.
When I looked up, it turned out to be my wife, Chen Mei, standing there, her face pale, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
"Explain what? Look at the intimacy of the two of you!" Chen Mei was furious and pointed at us and shouted a reprimand.
My heart was in turmoil. I thought I had accepted the new relationship model, but I didn't expect things to be suddenly exposed to my wife like this. Chen Mei will definitely be heartbroken. However, how could I not be deeply attracted to this new girl? How should I choose? Should I give up Chen Mei's marriage of more than ten years, or give up this new emotional experience? I was almost torn apart.
My face was full of pain and struggle, and my eyes wandered between my wife and the girl, and I was overwhelmed for a moment. And the two of them were tense, and neither of them wanted to back down first.
"Enough, Chen Mei, things are not what you think. "In the end, I made up my mind and stood up.
"Not what I thought it would be? Is there any other explanation for the two of you being here affectionately?" Chen Mei's eyes were filled with tears.
It was at this critical moment that I suddenly understood what was really going on in my heart. Years of experience in relationships have made me realize that physical relationships alone do not lead to true happiness. What I need is a new model of relationships, a kind of freedom and tolerance that can be inclusive of everything, accepting everything.
I looked at the two women in front of me, one was my wife, who had accompanied me for more than ten years; One was a new acquaintance, and it gave me an unprecedented soul shock. I had to choose between them, and that choice would determine the path of my life.
I took a deep breath and made up my mind.
"Chen Mei, I know this is a huge blow to you. But please believe that my feelings for you are sincere and will never change. I said sincerely, "It's just that we need a new way of getting along with each other so that everyone can be happy." "
Seeing my wife's sad appearance, my heart was also extremely painful. I never wanted to hurt her, I just wanted to pursue a whole new way of life and relationship model. But after all, she has been influenced by traditional concepts, and it is difficult for her to accept this change at once.
I looked at my wife with apologies in my eyes. I stepped forward and hugged her gently, hoping that through this hug, she could feel my sincere and unchanging love.
"Yes, but our relationship is based on sincere feelings, not superficial physical relationships. The girl explained earnestly, "And you can also join in and let the three of us manage this relationship together." "
The three of them stood there motionless, the atmosphere solemn and dreary. I could feel my wife's whole body trembling, and I could see the expectant look on the girl's face.
"You two, are you both crazy?" Chen Mei finally spoke, her tone full of anger and disdain.
"Nobody is crazy, it's just that we're looking for a new way of life. "Traditional monogamy is outdated, and its limitations are too great to bring true happiness." "
Seeing my wife react like this, my heart was also conflicted. On the one hand, I can understand her anger and unacceptability. After all, she grew up in a traditional environment with such a conservative definition of marriage and love. And the new model of "threesome" we proposed has undoubtedly brought her a huge impact and challenge.
My mind wandered in contradictions, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
I looked at my wife, and then at the girl. The two of them seemed to represent two very different philosophies in life, and I was like the poor man in the middle, struggling.
"I know you're going to have a hard time accepting it. Seeing our hesitation, the girl continued: "But believe that everything we do is done with sincerity, in search of a higher level of freedom. "
"But society will definitely accuse us and discriminate against us. "People will say that three people together is immoral and illegal." "
"Why is it illegal? The three of us love each other and we don't hurt anyone. The girl shook her head.
Perhaps the current social environment is not yet fully accepting us, but I believe that as long as we make changes first and break through with actions, sooner or later, the new family model will be accepted by more and more people.
I looked at my wife and girl with a determined and persistent look in my eyes. Yes, this is the new life I'm going to work hard for, and we'll be able to make it a reality!
"Chen Mei, I know this is a difficult decision for you. I solemnly said to my wife, "But please believe that no matter what choice you make, I will respect you and love you forever." "
Chen Mei lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she raised her head with a firm look in her eyes: "Okay, I have decided to join you." It's hard to fully accept it for a while, but I'm willing to try this new family model. "
When I heard my wife's decision, I had mixed feelings. There was joy because she chose to be with us in the end; There is apprehension, for the road is unknown and full of thorns; There is an unprecedented weight of responsibility on the shoulders. It was I who took the initiative to promote this new model of relationship, and now I have to take action for it and put it into practice with my life.
I know it's not a smooth road. The three of us have to face social criticism, moral condemnation, and inner contradictions and struggles. But as long as we truly love and trust each other, we will be able to move forward and create a way of life that has never been seen before.
I hugged my wife and the girl tightly, and they hugged me in response. At this moment, the three of us seem to have merged into one, shouldering the burden of this unknown journey together.
From that day on, the three of us began a life of cohabitation that we had never seen before.
At first, everything was so new and unfamiliar. The three of us have to get to know each other and run in, looking for a new way of getting along. Sometimes there are conflicts and quarrels, but more often than not, we are treating the relationship with the utmost sincerity and tolerance.
Gradually, we began to find comfort and happiness. The time spent together by the three of them is so warm and happy, and they are no longer simple lovers, but more like confidants and friends of life. We tolerate each other, forgive each other, and interpret an unprecedented pattern of love with our actions.
Although the criticism and doubts from the outside world have never stopped, we don't care. Because in our hearts, only the love and companionship of each other is the most important thing. And this love will surely warm and illuminate every step of our future.
I am well aware that we still have a long, long way to go. But let's try and pursue bravely, and open up another possibility in life with love.
