My name is Zhang Li, I am 52 years old, and I am a middle-level manager of a foreign company. Over the years, I have achieved success in my career and am also well-known in the company. But in my private life, my luck wasn't so good.
After many years of being single, I have long since given up looking for my other half. My life is all about work and the occasional get-together with a few friends. Until one day, my best friend Xiao Wang asked me to go to a newly opened bar.
Zhang Li, are you going?I just met a handsome guy, he's not bad, but I'm missing a partner!"Xiao Wang teased me.
Come on, there's no market for my old woman. Besides, I'm not interested in blind dates. I smiled and refused.
How do you know if you don't go and see for yourself!People are either looking for you to marry, or to get to know you. Let's go, I'll drive you there. Xiao Wang couldn't help but pull me out.
When he arrived at the bar, Xiao Wang warmly greeted a man over: "Li Jun, this is the Sister Zhang Li I mentioned to you, she is handsome!."”
I look at Li Jun next to me, he looks really good, with deep facial features, tall figure, well-dressed, and looks like he is in his early thirties. It's not the same as the "little handsome guy" I imagined.
Hello Sister Zhang, I've admired my name for a long time. Wang Aihua always said good things about you, and today I finally met the beauty herself. Li Jun greeted me with a smile.
I'm just an old woman. Hello!"I'm a little embarrassed.
Come on, drink and chat!Xiao Wang enthusiastically poured us wine and began to match.
After a few glasses of wine, Li Jun and I chatted unexpectedly speculatively. He graduated with a degree in finance and economics and now works for a ** company;I'm away all year round, so I'm still single. He had a cheerful and bold personality, which was the opposite of my old-fashioned workaholic, so we had a good conversation.
Why don't we change to a quiet place?It's too noisy here. Li Jun approached me and said.
I blushed a little, but nodded anyway. We went to the bench in front of the bar and sat down.
Zhang Li, when I first met you, I thought you were very kind and lovely. No matter how successful a woman's career is, she needs to be loved after all. Why don't we know more about it?Li Jun said, holding my hand.
Okay, then let's get to know each other slowly. I finally nodded in agreement.
Since that day, Li Jun and I have started dating frequently. We went to the cinema to watch a movie, went for a walk in the park, and also tried many restaurants in the neighborhood together. Li Jun seemed to be very serious in his pursuit, and every time we met, he would give me gifts, and then hold my hand in the palm of his generous palm.
Zhang Li, I think it's very likely that we will be together. You see how much we have the same language, and I really like you. "One day, Li Jun suddenly said to me.
What does it matter!Li Jun interrupted me, "I just like mature and stable women." Let's try it, and I'll treat you well. ”
In the end, under Li Jun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, I agreed to be officially with him. After all, it is really rare for a 52-year-old single woman to meet such a handsome and golden man who loves me. Xiao Wang is also proud that I finally got off the list, and he is very excited.
After that, Li Jun moved to my apartment and lived with me. I watched him carry his suitcases through the door one by one, and I was thrilled. In the evening, Li Jun made a dish that I liked to eat, and we chatted until late at night. He also smiled and said that I can retire in the future, and the two of us are tired of being together every day.
In this regard, I also began to remind him softly: "Jun'er, or you don't sleep so late, your body can't bear it." ”
I know my wife, but I'm so tired from work, it's normal to sleep in on the weekends. "Li Jun has dealt with me like this every time.
Gradually, I discovered that Li Jun may not be as mature and stable as he seems on the surface. He's actually more like a boy who doesn't grow up and needs to be taken care of. I was a little worried about what to do if it went on like this, but for his sake of being good to me, I didn't bother with him for the time being.
As more and more time went on, I began to reflect on my relationship with Li Jun.
After living together for a few months, the problems in Li Jun's personality became even more obvious. For example, he never takes the initiative to do housework when he comes home, and I need to do all the laundry and cooking. Once, I worked late overtime, and when I came back, I found that Li Jun hadn't cooked dinner yet, and was sitting in front of the TV watching a football game.
Li Jun, why don't you cook?It's eight o'clock, and I haven't eaten yet!I couldn't help but say.
Oh, sorry sorry, I lost track of time watching the game. Let's order takeout. Li Jun said as a matter of course.
Order takeout again?It's been a month since I've only eaten takeout!Can't you learn to cook for yourself?"I couldn't help but raise my voice.
What's so hard about cooking, don't you know how to do it, I'm busy. Li Jun disagreed.
But aren't you idle right now?I thought you weren't a kid anymore and were able to live independently. "I was so disappointed.
I'm relieved to have you, and I like to eat your cooking the most. Li Jun replied with a grin.
This quarrel made me finally realize the reality: Li Jun is a man who does not grow up and will always need to be taken care of by others. With him, I was getting more and more stressed, as if I was back to the days when I was alone.
Later, even Li Jun's spending Xi caught my attention. He always used my bank card to buy things that seemed expensive, and I felt distressed when I saw the bill. Once we went to the mall, he insisted on buying a luxury brand watch, which was frighteningly high.
Li Jun, let's not buy such expensive things, just wear ordinary watches. I advised him.
Come on, just buy it once, I'll be promoted and raised immediately, money is not a problem!Li Jun didn't listen at all.
I really can't laugh or cry, Li Jun is clearly living on my salary, but he still speaks the truth. I can't say anything more, so I can only let him go.
In this way, gradually, there were more and more differences and contradictions between me and Li Jun. I found that our philosophy of life was really not the same, and many things could not be agreed upon. Li Jun also became more and more dependent on me, not to change his faults and laziness.
One day, Li Jun actually proposed to me that he wanted to retire at home and let me support him. I was startled, and finally I couldn't take it anymore.
Li Jun, we need to talk about it. I can't really provide the kind of life you want, there are too many problems between us. I don't think we're fit together. I said as I looked him in the eye earnestly.
Li Jun's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that I would say break up. He begged me to think again, but I was determined. I understand that this is a better option for both of them.
In this way, Li Jun and I broke up. When I ended the relationship, I had mixed feelings. However, it was more of a sense of relief that I had finally regained my freedom. Looking back on this cohabitation life, I understand a truth: love also needs to be built on the fit of lifestyle and philosophy, otherwise it will not last long.
