Behind the cuckold
My name is Zhang Xiao, I live in an ordinary city, like most young people, I have my own job, a warm little home, and a wife who loves me deeply - Li Ting. We met in college, when she was a flower on campus, beautiful and independent, and I was one of her many suitors. After unremitting efforts, I finally won her heart, and we entered the palace of marriage after graduation.
I work in the IT industry and am busy but have a stable income. Li Ting is a teacher, her work is full of love and responsibility, and she always brings endless warmth and care to her students. Our lives were plain and blissful, until that unexpected discovery.
It was a weekend afternoon, and I finished my work ahead of schedule, thinking of surprise Li Ting, so I went home early. When I opened the door, I found it empty. I was a little confused, but I didn't think much of it, so I sat on the couch and waited. After a while, I heard the sound of the door opening, and Li Ting came back, with a hint of panic on her face. I smiled and tried to give her a hug, but she cleverly dodged her.
"What's wrong? Why did you come back so early today? Li Ting asked, her voice trembling a little.
"I missed you, so I came back early." I replied with a smile, but my heart began to feel a little uneasy.
At night, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Li Ting's strange performance made me feel uneasy. I began to think back to our recent lives, trying to find some clues. However, everything seems to be so normal, nothing out of the ordinary.
Until one day, I accidentally saw a text message on her phone. The sender was an unfamiliar name, but the content shocked me: "Thank you today, we'll see you next time." "This text message was like a bombshell, and it broke my heart.
I began to secretly investigate, trying to find out the truth. I stalked her, checked her call logs, and even secretly checked her clothes when she wasn't home. However, I did not find any substantial evidence. I began to wonder if I was too sensitive. Or did I really misunderstand Li Ting?
Just when I was deeply confused, Li Ting took the initiative to find me. She sat across from me, her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled: "Xiao, let's get a divorce." ”
I froze, and I felt a pang of heartache as I looked at her familiar and yet unfamiliar face. I tried to ask why, but she just shook her head. I knew she must have something unspeakable.
In the days that followed, I began to try to understand her and tolerate her. I began to care about her life and asked her how she felt. I noticed that she had become more silent and less smiling on her face. I know she must be under a lot of psychological pressure.
Until one night, she suddenly hugged me, and tears wet my shoulders: "Xiao, I'm sorry for you." I really didn't betray you, but I can't continue to deceive you. ”
I hugged her tightly and let her tears run down my shoulders. I knew she had some secret she couldn't tell.
With my patient questioning, she finally told me the truth. It turned out that she had recently been diagnosed with a rare disease that required long-term treatment. And the process of treatment is not only painful but also costly. She didn't want me to be burdened by her illness, and she didn't want me to lose hope in life because of her. So, she decided to divorce me and let me find my happiness again.
After listening to her story, I burst into tears. I hugged her tightly and told her, "Ting, no matter what you become, I will be by your side." We are a family and we should face difficulties together. ”
Since then, I have started working harder in order to raise money for her treatment. With my encouragement, Li Ting gradually stepped out of the psychological shadow and began to actively cooperate with the treatment. Although our lives are still difficult, our hearts have become stronger because of each other's presence.
Looking back now, that experience was painful, but it also made me cherish our relationship even more. I am grateful to Li Ting for the "green hat" that I put on, because it gave me a deeper understanding of what true love is. Love is not only sweet words and romantic dates, but also mutual support and perseverance in the face of difficulties.
I believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter in the days to come, we will work together to create our own happy story.
