The sadness of the "pseudo-couple" on the construction site will be broken up at the end of the construction period, and it will not be embarrassing to see each other again
Since the 90s of the last century, the difference between rural and urban areas has gradually given rise to a large-scale wave of migrant workers. Many young adults in rural areas pack their bags and say goodbye to their loved ones at home and embark on the road to the city far from home. However, this is not to chase dreams and pursue youth, but to survive for the sake of food and clothing for the family.
Although the husband who goes out to work will return home every holiday and bring a good living allowance to meet the family's financial needs, the relationship between husband and wife is always difficult to fill. Whether it is a husband at a work site or a wife at home, the pain of separation has always hung over their crumbling marriage, and the loneliness of their hearts has led to marital problems, including the occasional phenomenon of "pseudo-couples" on the construction site.
"Pseudo-couple" refers to a married migrant worker who has been unable to spend a long time with his or her partner who has been left behind at home, and finds a colleague to be a temporary couple at the work site based on physical and emotional needs. They ate and lived together, worked together, and were intimate at night, as if they were a real husband and wife. However, the shelf life of this marriage is limited, and once the work is over, the two break up, and even if they meet again in the future, they will pass by like strangers, and they don't seem to feel embarrassed.
Why is there such a phenomenon as "pseudo-couples"? The root cause is that husbands and wives are separated. Widowed marriages make couples feel uneasy, unable to receive each other's care for a long time, making them temporarily forget the reality of their marriage. Therefore, they can only find people who also feel lonely to tide over the difficulties together and comfort each other's souls.
In addition, a factor in real life is that cohabitation between men and women does bring many conveniences to a certain extent. They can share the rent and living expenses and support each other. Men may be responsible for manual work, while women are responsible for household chores. This kind of collaboration makes life easier, and while it is not difficult to accomplish these tasks alone, it can add to the stress of life.
However, do those "pseudo-couples" who seem to meet the needs of reality really deserve our sympathy? First of all, in essence, "pseudo-couples" not only violate moral norms, but are also suspected of violating the law and committing crimes. Article 1042 of China's Civil Code clearly prohibits arranged marriages, buying and selling marriages and other acts that interfere with the freedom of marriage, and also prohibits extorting property through marriage, bigamy and cohabitation with others. In addition, the law prohibits domestic violence and abuse and abandonment between family members.
Bigamy is also one of the conditions for a statutory divorce. Article 1079 of the Civil Code stipulates that when one of the spouses requests a divorce, he or she may file a divorce lawsuit through mediation or directly with the people's court. Divorce shall be granted if, for example, mediation fails in cases of bigamy or cohabitation. In such a situation, there are not a few divorce cases caused by "pseudo-couples".
If the relationship between the "pseudo-husband and wife" has already had a certain impact in the workplace or family, for example, colleagues in the workplace know that they live together as husband and wife, or if the "pseudo-couple" is discovered by their respective families, then both parties may be involved in the crime. According to article 258 of the Criminal Code, bigamists may face a penalty of up to two years' imprisonment or criminal detention.
Some people may ask, if the physical and emotional needs of migrant workers are not met, can they only suffer loneliness in silence? However, we need to recognize that while physiological needs are important, they are only the bottom part of the life pyramid. On it there are many needs such as civilization, conscience, morality, emotion, etc. If we only satisfy our physical needs and ignore emotions and morals, how are we different from ordinary animals?
The reason why we are different from other living beings is because we are conditioned by civilization. As people living in a predominantly "monogamous" country, we need to comply with this rule. Perhaps, the progress of the rule of law does require some sacrifices, but at the cost of using reason to suppress evil thoughts in the heart.
So, how to solve the phenomenon of "pseudo-couples"? In addition to self-restraint, there are other methods. For example, a migrant worker can persuade his partner to go out to work with him. This also raises another question – the education of the next generation. One of the main reasons for left-behind families is that one of the spouses (usually the wife) needs to be left behind to take care of the children and the elderly, so they cannot go out to work.
Some couples choose to go out to work together, leaving their children in the care of the elderly. However, this practice may lead to the lack of the most critical home education in childhood for left-behind children, which is not the most ideal option. If a couple goes out to work with their children, it becomes a difficult problem to take care of the children properly.
Therefore, the best solution is to accumulate enough"Milk powder money"Don't have children before. In rural areas, the age of marriage is usually low, and couples do not need to rush to have children, they can go out to work to earn money first, and then consider childbearing when they have enough funds for childbearing. This method is similar to the habits of some animals, such as the penguin father, who stores a large amount of fat before the birth of the baby penguin and wraps the penguin eggs in a plump body to prevent the child from freezing to death. At the same time, female penguins go out to forage for food and store future food so that they don't starve to death if they can't go out to forage for food while feeding their young.
Animals understand truths, but humans may not be able to grasp them. In fact, when preparing to become a parent, you need to go through a thorough preparation process, including mental, physical, and financial preparations. Left-behind families arise precisely because couples fail to prepare adequately before the birth of their children. If the couple has already saved some funds before giving birth, then after the birth of the child, they can temporarily stay in the countryside to live a basic life, and wait until the child grows up to consider going out to work.
In any case, "pseudo-couples" are a violation of basic morals and ethics in society. Extramarital affairs seriously damage the relationship between the families and the original partner, and may even lead to marital tragedy. When choosing a partner to spend your life with, the most basic fidelity must be achieved, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.
