My husband and I have been married for five years and have a three-year-old daughter. Although our lives are not rich, they are still happy. My husband works in a large company with a monthly salary of 18,000. Every month, he would give his brother-in-law 8,000 yuan.
At first, I didn't care about my husband's money for my brother-in-law, after all, he was my husband's younger brother, and my brother-in-law was still in college and needed some financial support. However, as time went on, my brother-in-law's appetite grew, and he began to ask my husband for money frequently, and even asked us to buy him some very luxurious goods.
I didn't think it was the way to go on like this, so I talked to my husband. He told me that my brother-in-law was having some difficulties at school and needed our help. I understand his thoughts, but I also think that we should have our own lives and not always sacrifice our own interests for the sake of my brother-in-law.
One day, I was cooking, and my brother-in-law asked for money again, this time, I couldn't help it, I said to my brother-in-law: "You are an adult, you should learn to live independently, and you can't always rely on your brother." When the little uncle heard what I said, he said very unhappily: "My brother should give me money, why do you care about me?""I was so angry when I heard it that I almost quarreled with my brother-in-law.
After hanging up**, my husband and I talked about this issue again. Due to a disagreement, I filed for divorce.
For me, I needed not only monetary satisfaction, but also spiritual support and understanding.
The news of the divorce spread quickly, friends persuaded us, and families were saddened by our decision.
My brother-in-law, after learning of my decision, happily asked my husband, "Brother, can you give more every month?"He was full of anticipation and joy, as if the divorce was great news for him.
This scene stunned me, and the emotions surging in my heart were indescribable.
For my brother-in-law, my departure may be an opportunity for him, an opportunity to get more love and care.
This has taught me a lot. On this complicated path of life.
Perhaps, sometimes we need to let go of some baggage in order to move forward better.
This experience taught me to let go and to re-examine my life.
Everyone deserves to be understood and loved, and I deserve a more authentic and happy future.
