It was an ordinary night, and Li Ming, a married man, sat on the sofa, staring at his phone restlessly. His wife, Xiaoli, is busy in the kitchen while he exchanges text messages with a woman named Xiaolu. Their ambiguous relationship has lasted for months, which is a secret hidden in Li Ming's heart.
Xiaolu: Li Ming, I've had enough of this ambiguous relationship. I need you to give me an answer, do you love me or your wife?
Li Ming: Xiaolu, you know that I have a family, and I can't leave my wife. This relationship is just a moment of loneliness and boredom.
Xiaolu: Lonely and bored?Then why are you always so nice to me, giving me endless care and warmth?Are you lying to me or to yourself?
Li Ming felt guilty, he knew that his lie had been exposed, and he didn't know how to answer.
Xiaolu: I can't go on like this. I love you, but I don't want to be a substitute for you either. Please choose one, do you want to continue your relationship with me, or do you want to be honest with your wife?
Li Ming fell into deep thought, and this question seemed to put him in a predicament from which he could not escape.
Xiaolu: You know what?I always thought you were a sincere and kind person. I thought you would be brave enough to leave your wife for the sake of our relationship, but now it seems that I was wrong.
Li Ming: I'm sorry, Xiaolu. I didn't plan on getting divorced from the beginning, I just wanted to find a stimulus to fill the void in my marriage. I understand that I am in this situation and that I can no longer hurt you and my wife.
Xiaolu: You've finally admitted the truth. I won't be sad for you anymore. I hope you can get along well with your wife and cherish your family.
Li Ming's eyes moistened, and he deeply regretted his decision, but it was irretrievable.
A few months later, Li Ming decided to confess to his wife about the affair between them. He knew it would hurt her, but he also knew that only by being honest could they rebuild their marriage.
Xiaoli is shocked and distressed by Li Ming's confession, and she can't accept her husband's betrayal. However, she decided to give their marriage a chance, and they began attending marriage counseling in an effort to repair the rift between them.
Li Ming also deeply reflected on his behavior, and he realized that his love for his wife far exceeded his ambiguous feelings for Xiaolu. He vowed to prove his change with his actions and promised to never hurt his wife again.
After a period of hard work and communication, Li Ming and Xiaoli's marriage gradually regained trust and stability. They learn to listen better to each other's needs, respect each other's feelings, and rekindle the fire of love for each other.
Li Ming's summary of this experience is that lies will eventually be exposed, and facing reality can truly make people grow. He deeply understands that marriage requires both parties to work together and operate, not to escape and cheat.
Through this story, we can learn from it, learn to cherish marriage, and breathe new life and hope into our relationship.
