She met him three years ago when she was still in university. She loved him so much that she forgave him finally when she found that he was seeing other girls while seeing her. And she married him last year, right after she graduated.
The other day when she was home, he went outside to join a gathering hosted by his school. Later on while he was not back yet, she got a call from a girl, his colleague. The girl asked if he had arrived home safely, and asked her to express
her thanks for his accompanying her home.
She was not happy after hanging up the phone. And she told this to her high school peer, my sister. She said she had thought the rumor, which she heard before about his husband and the girl, didn’t hold water, but now she doubted about it.
It reminded me a movie I saw the other day. It talked about a husband, betraying
his wife, had a relationship with another woman outside. For one thing, his wife begged him to come back for the sake of their four-year-old child, if not for
her. For another, the woman outside threatened him to get divorced by suicide, after she found out he had a family.
The man didn’t know how to cope with it. When he got home, he had to face his innocent child and his imploring wife. The once happy and peaceful family was struck into an embarrassing situation, with silence coving the house all day long.
If he went to his mistress, what waited for him was nothing but hysterical yelling and complaining.
The story came to its punch line when the mistress turned on the gas after her attempt to force him to leave his family failed. She said if she can notsucceed,
she would die with him. But finally they all got saved. The story ended with the
mistress voluntarily quitting, and leaving the family getting reunited once again. A perfect ending, isn’t it?
Apparently everything got back to the way they once were. But how about things inside? For the wife, can she fully shed off the shadow caused by the happening?
As for the husband, can he assure his wife that he would never commit another extramarital relationship again? And his mistress. Because of blind love, she struck herself into a situation which almost hurt herself to death. She chose to leave finally, but who can know how many years that she must spend for getting all
this over?
Causing by a fling of impulse, the husband chose to have relationship with the girl. But because of his impulse in a flash, how many others have got hurt? I won
’t put all men to blame in all extramarital relationships, but who can deny that in some cases it’s they indeed who caused all the turbulence?
I remember the other day while I can’t sleep, turning on the radio, I listened
to the program concerning about metal health. Soon after a listener called in the program and was put on the air. He complained to the host of the program that
how hard his life was.
He said that for the present he was in relationship with two women, one his wife
, the other her mistress. He complained that the two women all threatened him to
be with them by suicide. So badly, from his voice, that he wanted help: please,
please do give me some suggestions.
That time I highly admired the host, for he just calmly and objectively analyzed
the situation the man was in, and reminded the man indirectly in a gentle tone
that how many others may had been struck in the same awful situation because of his behavior. But if I were the host, I guess, I may have involuntarily expressed my scorn with words for his deed.
I can’t understand why there are fewer and fewer people today who can resist sexual temptation. They complain that their wives are becoming unbearably bored by
time, but they forget that so do them, especially when they say so.
I always want to hold a holy belief in marriage, but the cases happened in reality, more often than not, disappoint me ruthlessly. So should I get married in future? Even if I do get married, should I keep a close watch on my husband all day long so as to avoid the tragic of betrayal from happening on me? In fact, thinking of this, whoever still wants to get married?
Caroline.
