On the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, I took my nine-year-old daughter to the city hospital to have her teeth checked. Her two front teeth were a bit crooked, and we went to the dentist to fix this before school started. Doctors recommend timely correction so as not to affect the bite. I was relieved to hear that the cost was only more than 1,000 yuan and that the correction time was about a month. After all, as a single mother, I have to be financially cautious. Last October, my ex-husband and I divorced. He left me the house and 100,000 yuan in cash, and I raised my daughter. Although life is stressful, I have to plan ahead.
Speaking of my ex-husband, my heart is full of resentment. He used to be a rural native who worked in a private enterprise in our city. We met by chance, and he pursued me frantically, eventually winning my heart. Although my parents were against the marriage, believing that his education and financial situation were not ideal, I chose to marry him. For the past 10 years, he has been very family-oriented and has been very good to me and my daughter. Last September, he suddenly became apathetic and even filed for divorce. After much struggle, we finally got divorced.
Just as we walked out of the hospital gate, my daughter suddenly stopped and looked in a fixed direction. It turned out that it was his ex-husband and his father-in-law. They looked emaciated and sad. It turned out that her ex-husband was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer in September last year. He chose not to tell me the truth, but instead divorced me under the pretext of cheating, leaving the house and money to me and my daughter. He wants to spend the rest of his life quietly in his hometown so as not to put financial pressure on his family. In the past two days, his condition has worsened, and my father-in-law brought him to our city to see a doctor. Looking at my ex-husband's emaciated body, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Faced with such a situation, should I spend the rest of my days with him? It's a moral and emotional challenge. Aspect, we are divorced and have no legal obligation to take care of him; On the other hand, from the perspective of human sophistication, I should do my part. This one got me pondering.
I can't give a definite answer on this. Everyone has their own values and morals, and when faced with such a choice, we must make decisions based on our beliefs and emotions. So, what do you think about this? What do you think I should do with my ex-husband in this situation? Feel free to leave your views and suggestions in the comment area.
