That summer five years ago, we met at a friend's party. He was tall, handsome, and gentle, like a prince who had come out of a fairy tale. We looked at each other and smiled, as if everything was predestined, and began our own story.
At that time, I had just come out of a failed relationship, and my heart was fragile and sensitive. His appearance, like a ray of sunshine, illuminated my gray life. He was considerate and took care of me, and I gradually believed that I had finally found true happiness.
But happy days are always short-lived. Not long after we were together, I found out I was pregnant. I was both surprised and worried by the news, but he was even more excited than I was. He took my hand with excitement on his face, "Let's get married, I want you to be my partner for life." ”
Life after marriage was not as smooth as I imagined. For the sake of this family, I quit my favorite job and concentrated on taking care of my children and taking care of the housework at home. His career is thriving, getting busier and busier, and he has less and less time to go home. Every time I asked to return to work, he always said perfunctorily: "Now that my child is still young, the most important thing is for you to take care of him at home." When the children are older, you can go back to work. ”
I silently accepted this reality and put all my thoughts on my family and children. Every late night, as I leaned on the head of my bed and watched him come home exhausted, I always told myself that he was fighting for our future and that it was worth it.
But the peace of life was completely shattered after the appearance of that woman. She is a new colleague in his company, young and beautiful, and can speak well. I felt a little uneasy from the beginning, but I chose to trust him, after all, we have so many good memories and children in common.
But gradually, he started to get impatient and cared less and less about me. The arguments between us became more and more frequent, and he always used the excuse that he was busy with work and was reluctant to say a word to me. The woman's name appeared more and more frequently in his mouth, and every time he mentioned her, his eyes flashed with a special light.
My heart began to ache, but I was unwilling to face this harsh reality. Until one day, I accidentally saw his phone, saw their intimate conversation, and saw his sweet words to her. It was as if my heart had been torn apart, and I couldn't breathe in pain.
That night, we had a heated argument and I questioned him why he betrayed me and deceived me. He looked at me coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes, "There is no affection between us for a long time, you are just the mother of the child, and she is the person I really love." ”
His words were like a sharp knife that stabbed me in the heart. I gave up everything for him, and now he has abandoned me for another woman. It was like the whole world was laughing at me for being stupid and naïve.
That morning, he packed his bags and left the house without looking back, leaving me and our children behind. I stood in the doorway and watched his back disappear from sight, tears blurring my eyes. Those sweet memories have now become a sharp blade that pierces my heart.
Life didn't stand still because of his departure. Although I once thought that I would not be able to continue without him, it turned out that I was stronger than I thought. I began to regain my life and regain the confidence and independence that I had lost for a long time.
My child is my biggest motivation, and his smile is my strength to persevere. Although the road ahead is still full of challenges, I believe that I will be able to step out of this shadow and welcome a new beginning.
