I am 32 years old, have been married for many years and have a lovely family. My life has been quiet until a recent business trip where I met my former ex-boyfriend.
We met by chance at a business meeting. At first, we just exchanged a few words of greeting, and there was not much exchange. However, after the meeting, he suddenly extended an invitation to me, hoping that I would be able to have dinner with him.
I was a little hesitant, but I agreed. During dinner, he told me that he had always regretted breaking up with me and hoped we could start over. However, I told him very clearly that I was married and happy.
When he heard my answer, he looked a little lost and depressed. He told me that he had been lonely lately and wished I could be his lover. I immediately refused his request and told him it was immoral and would cause a lot of harm to my family.
When he heard my refusal, he didn't get angry or disappointed, but calmly thanked me. He thanked me for being able to stick to my principles and bottom line, and rejected his immoral demands. He also told me that he was very envious that I had a happy family and hoped that I could always cherish and protect it.
This experience gave me a deep understanding of my bottom line and principles. I learned how a married woman should stick to her bottom line and values and not break her principles for anything. At the same time, I also understand the importance of family and cherish and love my family even more.
Looking back on this experience, I feel that I have grown a lot and strengthened my beliefs and values. I believe that in the days to come, I will work harder to protect my family and happiness.
