The scheming ex-husband forced me to pay back the dowry, and I divorced
Zhang Ting, a 30-year-old woman from Northeast China, originally had an ordinary family, her parents were working-class, and she had an older brother who was two years older than her, married and had two children.
However, her brother owed a lot of debts due to his lack of business, which put Zhang Ting's family in a difficult situation. Two years ago, because her husband forced her to use the dowry to pay off her eldest brother's debts, she angrily chose to divorce.
However, two years later, when her husband persecuted her again, what decision would she make?
After graduating from university, I insisted on working as an operator for an Internet company, and although the salary was not high, I always believed that my efforts could improve my family's situation. That's when I met my ex-husband, who was working hard and making money in a company.
We soon met and fell in love, and started a new life with the 200,000 dowry I had saved.
I thought that marriage would bring happiness, but the reality was different. My ex-husband kept pressuring me to use the dowry to pay off my eldest brother's debts, but I refused more than once, which led to his quarrels and actions.
My patience had reached the limit and I finally chose to end the marriage. After the divorce, I left that city and started a new life. I didn't contact my ex-husband anymore and I didn't keep in touch with my family.
I knew I needed a moment of calm and thought about the way forward.
Two years passed, and I thought I had stepped out of the shadows of the past and started a new life. However, what I didn't expect was that my ex-husband suddenly appeared in front of me and begged me to forgive him for his mistakes and hope that we could regain our old love.
I knew very well what he was coming to me for. He heard that I was doing well in the city and wanted me to help him pay off his eldest brother's debts. I told him adamantly that I would not forget what he had done to me in the past.
But he continued to pester, even threatening me that if I didn't agree to help pay off my debts, it would ruin my life. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do.
I understand that if I don't help him, he might really do something very extreme.
I had considered calling the police, but I was worried that the matter would have a negative impact on my work and life. I also considered asking my family for help, but I was afraid that they would be worried about it.
I was stuck in a puzzle and didn't know how to fix this, which had been bothering me for a long time and couldn't sleep every night. I realized that I couldn't go on like this anymore and that action had to be taken to fix this.
I finally decided to ask ** for help, and the police took my ex-husband away when they came. Although I understand that this may cause some distress, I can't tolerate my ex-husband pestering me anymore.
After this incident, I reflected deeply and realized that I could not continue to be weak. I need to learn to protect myself and not let anyone hurt me again. At the same time, I also recognize the importance of family and friends, who are my strongest support.
In the future, I will cherish the people around me more and communicate with them more.
I came to realize that I needed to have clearer goals for my career plan. Although my current job is solid, I think I still have a lot of room to grow.
I will work harder and strive for more development opportunities. At the same time, I also pay attention to my physical and mental health. I will maintain a regular routine and do more exercise to exercise my body.
If something unpleasant happens, I will talk to friends or go out on a trip to relax. This experience has made me grow a lot, and it has also made me stronger and more independent.
I believe that as long as I keep moving forward, my future life will be better.
