When love is no longer freshly baked bread, but has become a cold table furnishings, there will always be a trace of waves in people's hearts. Not everyone can find the spark of life in the dull days. Sometimes, it is these inconspicuous little sparks that ignite a new vision in a woman's heart.
In this story, we meet Liang Xiaoxia, an ordinary urban woman, whose life is not magnificent, but has the common experience of many women. Seven years of married life are like a pool of stagnant water, and the communication between husband and wife is like a daily greeting, without emotional fluctuations. She began to question, is this the life she wants?
1.Emotional estrangement: Xiaoxia and her husband Zhang Qiang's marriage seems to be impeccable on the surface, but it lacks the initial passion and deep communication. Zhang Qiang works overtime all year round, and the two are busy like roommates, and gradually, the emotional bond between them is relaxed. As the singer Adele sings, "Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead." (Sometimes love lasts forever, but sometimes it just brings pain.) Emotional estrangement often becomes an unspeakable wound in marriage.
2.Unmet spiritual needs: Liang Xiaoxia always felt that Zhang Qiang could not understand her innermost needs. She longs not only for material satisfaction, but also for spiritual comfort. As Oprah Winfrey said, "You h**e to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world."(You have to find what lights the fire within you so you can light the world in your own way.) Xiaoxia couldn't find the spark that lit her up in Zhang Qiang.
3.Finding Freshness: It is an indisputable fact that human nature yearns for freshness. In the boring daily life, Liang Xiaoxia began to fantasize about what it would be like if life showed a new passion. Freshness can sometimes be a double-edged sword, it can bring joy and it can also sting reality.
4.Affirmation of self-worth: Everyone wants to be valued, especially women are more eager to be recognized for their self-worth in marriage. Liang Xiaoxia was no exception, and when she felt her husband's neglect of her, her self-esteem took a hit. She began to try other ways to prove her worth, and new emotional adventures often became a shortcut.
5.Shifting of emotional sustenance: Over time, it is easy for people to transfer emotional sustenance to others if the support and understanding in the marriage cease to exist.
Liang Xiaoxia felt lonely and helpless in her marriage, so, by chance, she met Li Ming, a man who could listen to her heart and give her care.
The emotional connection between them quietly grows.
As the relationship between Liang Xiaoxia and Li Ming deepened, she began to reflect on her marriage and think about what went wrong. In the process, she experienced different emotional entanglements and felt new hope, but also understood the weight of responsibility and consequences.
“we accept the love we think we deserve.(We accept the love we think we deserve.) This quote comes from Stephen Choboski's The Wallflower Boy, which reveals a person's self-perception and self-worth in an emotional relationship. Liang Xiaoxia's exploration in marriage is actually an in-depth analysis of her own values and needs. On the road to new love, each of us should think about what is truly worthy of love, and it should be based on mutual respect, communication and understanding. And for all men, this is not only a warning, but also a deep reflection on how to take care of love.
