Phat and I dated for 3 years before getting married. Our marriage was extremely good. My husband's parents loved me very much, treating me like their own child. Me too, deep down I truly loved my husband's parents like my own parents, ready to argue and nag, family life was extremely comfortable.
There was only one thing that made our joy incomplete, and that was the good news about having children, even though my husband and I were both young, completely healthy, and had no plans to delay having children.
Seeing me sad, my mother-in-law often talked to me and tried to comfort me. Although she did not say it, I found her to be extremely thoughtful, constantly buying food that, according to the elders, could help us have children soon.
I knew my mother's wishes, so even though she didn't say anything about wanting to pressure me, I still felt pressured. I discussed with my husband about going to a specialist to find out why we were having trouble conceiving. At least we should know the reason so we can find a way to deal with it and not be impatient and wait in uncertainty. Unexpectedly, the results of the examination shocked both of us.
The climax of my disappointment was when I discovered Phat was having an affair (Illustration: Adobe Stock).
The reason why it was difficult to have children was because my husband had no sperm. I discussed with my husband that we should not tell our parents for now and find a way together. Phat hugged me and silently followed my plan, but from that day on, his personality changed.
He started coming home late from work, sometimes hanging out with friends, and other times coming home drunk and disheveled. It was fine when he left home, but whenever he came home, Phat would be irritable and find ways to fight with me.
In a short time, my family suddenly lost the joy and warmth it had before. After many attempts to save it but failing to change my husband, I started to practice doing things alone: going to the supermarket, installing light bulbs, taking my phone to get repaired... Gradually, my marriage fell into silence, even the sound of arguing was gone.
The peak of my disappointment was when I discovered Phat was having an affair. A girl who seemed young, her text messages were coquettish, asking him to buy this and that, and he always agreed. "So that's how it is", I mumbled, looking at the messages back and forth on his phone. That was the reason why he increasingly showed that he didn't need me, was distant, and avoided me.
Like the last drop of water overflowing an already full glass. I decided to divorce. My husband's parents were very sad, especially my mother. After trying every way to reconcile us, my mother agreed to let my husband and I divorce on the condition that she wanted to stay with me. Hearing her say that, I burst into tears. Fate was so ironic, when I was devastated, my husband's parents' love made me unable to leave.
In the end, after a failed marriage, the only thing I received in return was the sincere affection of the people who gave birth to my husband. But although I loved and respected my parents, of course I could not fulfill their wishes. While waiting for the divorce, I returned to my mother's house.
When the court date was just a few days away, my mother-in-law showed up at my house to tell me a secret. She knew that we couldn’t have children and Phat did all these terrible things to give me a reason to leave, to give me a chance to meet someone new to create a better, more fulfilling life.
This is something I never thought of. Everything that happened made me not know what to think, what to do at this time. Should I go back to Phat or consider moving forward to find happiness and maybe have children of my own?
