Hearing the news of his son-in-law's affair, my father suddenly said something that made me burst into tears.

(Dan Tri) - Just when I was wondering what to choose, I suddenly received a call from my father. He said he was standing in front of my house gate, ringing the bell but no one opened the door.

I called my mother, but I couldn’t hold back my tears. I didn’t dare share the discovery of my husband’s infidelity with anyone but my mother.

My mother just cried after hearing that. She said that she knew I was sad, but now she had two small children, what would life be like after a divorce? Even though having an affair was wrong, at least my husband knew it was wrong and knelt down to beg. That showed that he still loved his wife and children, and was not so cruel as to want to destroy the family.

More importantly, my father is seriously ill. For over a year, he has been battling stage 3 cancer, and a cheerful spirit is an extremely important medicine. Any shock at this time could cause his spirit to collapse.

My mother advised me to give myself and my husband more time and to think carefully before making a decision. Her words made the decision to divorce that was rising in me suddenly subside.

More than 6 years ago, when he found out that I was in a long-distance relationship, my father was very sad. I was the only daughter of my parents and they didn't want their daughter to marry far away. My father was afraid that if I married into a foreign country, when I was sick or sad, there would be no one to share my feelings with.

As long as I have my family as my support, no one can make me fall (Illustration: iStock).

In my hometown, I had many people pursuing me, just hoping that after I graduated, I would come back and work near home. As for jobs in my hometown, my parents also prepared jobs here and there so that when I finished school, I would soon be stable, and not have to run around looking for a job like other people.

The day I called to ask permission to bring my boyfriend home, my father neither supported nor opposed him. After meeting him, he told me that he saw something untrustworthy about him. A man who was both handsome and smooth-talking like that, if he didn’t chase after girls, girls would chase after him. My father was afraid that I would marry him, because just keeping a husband was tiring.

I think my father was too presumptuous to consider those advantages as disadvantages. I loved him first because he was handsome, then because he had a sweet tongue, loved and cared for me so much. I met his mother. She was also very gentle, from a well-off family.

I got married to the admiration of my friends: a handsome, stable city boy. The marriage started off well, then two children were born. I was caught up in the roles of wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.

My father-in-law has passed away, my mother-in-law is constantly sick, I dare not hire a maid just because my mother-in-law is not comfortable. My husband is good at talking but clumsy, rarely shares housework. It turns out, I am busy doing everything so that he can freely "play around" outside.

The first time, I accidentally read their dating text messages, I made a fuss. He insisted that their relationship was just beginning, nothing had happened, and would definitely end. But he lied to me, still secretly seeing that girl, and even rented an apartment for her to live in. This time he couldn’t deny it, so he knelt down and begged, even bringing in his mother-in-law to defend him.

I believe that any woman is willing to forgive her husband's mistakes, if he really wants to change. But if he makes the same mistake twice, it is because he made the wrong choice.

I wanted a divorce, but my mother's words made me wonder and think. My father had foreseen this future of mine. But he always hoped he was wrong, and I didn't want him to know that his worries were completely correct. Maybe I should listen to my mother and give myself some more time to think things over.

But just when I was wondering, not knowing what to choose, suddenly, my father came to my husband's house. It was one afternoon, I was about to get off work when I saw the call from my father. He said he was standing in front of the gate, ringing the bell but no one came.

I hurried home, from afar I saw my father waiting in front of the gate. I was both surprised and confused, not understanding why my father came to visit without my father and mother telling me in advance.

Before I could ask, Dad said, "I came here to pick you up." It turned out that after seeing Mom feeling restless and unhappy for the past few days, Dad sensed something was wrong, so he asked. When he found out about my situation, Dad scolded Mom for hiding it from him, and even advised his daughter to endure the misfortune so as not to make him sad.

Dad's voice was slow but firm: "Remember, this life is yours, you don't need to endure it for anyone. 6 years ago, I took you to your husband's house. Now, if you want, I will take you back. If you make mistakes, correct them, it's okay, life is still very long."

I looked at my father, not knowing what to say, just burst into tears. Only children do not understand their parents' hearts, but parents always know what their children really need. What I need right now is these words from my father: "If you make a mistake, correct it, life is still very long."

I hugged my father and told him that my heart had cleared up. I needed more time to sort everything out, including the custody battle. Then I would quit my job, move back to my hometown, and start a new life. As long as I had my family as my support, no one could bring me down.
